While the First Encounter had a whole lot of inventive arenas and memorable incounters, it also had some bland hallways filled with monsters. In the second, just take that flaw, and multiply by ten. Seriously (😏), there was an endless hallway for what felt like every level. Don't get me wrong, this game did have some inventive set pieces, but they were so few and far between. It started to get a little repetitive. I hope Serious Sam 2 doesn't have the same problem.
