What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Sure, it's running on the tried and true Unreal Engine 3 (or something, it's getting hard to keep up with the numbers - forgive a 30-something that just wants to shoot bad guys on a screen), so there's some better lighting, really good explosion and ragdoll physics, a lot more polygons.
The game follows the same story line and mechanics, but offers a lot more content like challenge maps, a unique Halloween map and the introduction of co-op.
You can see that the updated version has a little more atmosphere, for example in the graveyard the mist is deeper and the graphics are sharper, the weapons look shinier etc, otherwise it looks virtually the same.
Yep, it's pretty deserted in mp, but you can always go for some coop walkthrough.
And, despite it being just a darker version of Serious Sam with a heavy soundtrack and multiple endings, I do believe it deserved a proper chance.
