A great game if you like arena shooters, and I mean ARENA SHOOTERS - I.e. big open areas with little vertical movement where you have waves of enemies to mow down. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (and it's amazing I have to say THE SECOND ENCOUNTER and not 2 when Serious Sam 2 already exists and is completely separate from this) has its ups and downs - it irons out kinks from TFE like the addition of a sniper rifle for picking off long-range enemies, but random pickups like tiny 1-health biscuits are no less punishing. A difficult game, but I'd say it verges on the balance between fair difficulty and unfair difficulty.
