Both modes can be played alone or together with a friend. There is another version of the cooperative, where participants receive 3 common lives for 1 stage. Hunting and capturing the flag is performed in 2 variations "all against all" and "team competition". In the hunt, you need to kill enemies, collect items and find secrets to get as many points as possible. Dangerous Combat is a classic mortal combat where the last survivor wins.
Instant kill is an accelerated version of "combat" where one shot is enough to kill. There is also a round where an item is required to be worn. Bosses and mini bosses sometimes appear when you least expect them. At one point I remember activating a switch that was behind a pyramid. Little did I know or expect, the pyramid then crumbled and two ' demons appeared and attempted to turn me into a little crimson smear on the ground. The downside to all this action is that there really isn't an engaging storyline or plot.
It is basically one crazy battle after another with simplistic keys and traps thrown in to make it feel like you are accomplishing something. Not to mention that after a couple of hours it does tend to get a bit old with all that shooting and shooting and shooting and then more shooting.
Yes, you can play this game on one player, but trust me; the real fun is the coop play. I have played this game with several sets of friends and I never cease to find hidden rooms and special items that are littered all over the game, I've started it 4 different times and still haven't found everything on the very first set of levels.
Throw in the "seriously" warped death match 3. These guys at Croteam sure know what they are doing. You can not only play as Sam, but as any number of other weird looking characters like the cowboy, the alien, the 70's disco dancer, etc. They are all friends of Sam and they all look funny. As far as Mental's aliens go, wow! I was literally floored with the quality skins and appearance. If they keep topping themselves with these awesome looking and smoothly framed bad guys, Serious Sam the 7th encounter is going to win the Nobel Gaming prize for coolest looking shooter okay, we all know that there's no Nobel Gaming prize The environments are also on par for perfection.
Bright colors and incredibly tight detail make me wonder what these guys are thinking charging such a cheap price for such a fine looking game. Do me a favor, look out you back window at that tree'as far as I am concerned the trees and other foliage in SS look better than the real thing.
The structures are authentically replicated as well and seem to go on forever in some cases. Each time I would enter a new area I had to look around quickly so I could appreciate how well everything looked before some scorpion mutant with a chain gun tried to give me a lead enema. Sam sometimes says one-liners like a certain other super-hero-type-gun-toting-madman we're all familiar with.
Usually they are pretty funny and sometimes they are downright wrong. Whoever voiced Sam certainly has a future in the voiceover market, a deep bass voice that just throttles with machismo. Explosions, machineguns, demon androids shorting out, this sounds like an action movie. Of course I do have a surround sound system hooked up to my computer and I can honestly say I don't remember a game that gave my speakers as good a workout.
I even found myself turning down the volume because it was almost overwhelming. My favorite part of the audio though, was the action music.
It came up as the action started and kept rocking until all the bad guys were meat. After playing for a while you notice that it really adds to the whole gaming experience and fires you up with adrenaline. I don't even remember seeing any documentation. Not that you would need any, however, as everything is explained in the controls section. Most importantly, you just need to know that by default, the trigger is mapped to the left mouse button. Everything else is secondary and trivial.
There is no better new game that is worth the money. It is so impressive graphically and it's such a straight-up fun game.
That tenet was the sole focus of the original Serious Sam and it remains the sole focus of its sequel. But even though Croteam stuck to the basics, there are subtle enhancements in many areas. Something funny happens on the way to the planet Sirius, however, and a crash-landing forces the vessel down in South America.
The Mayan city of Teotihuacan is filled with giant stone heads, stepped pyramids, and a jungle drum soundtrack. Babylonian Persepolis features ziggurats and colorful walls that boast paintings of rulers with those distinctive staircase beards. And Poland is all horror-movie castles and fog, right down to the organ soundtrack. The most obvious additions in The Second Encounter are three new weapons you can use, more than half a dozen new monsters to fight as well as three exciting, new boss battles spread out over the game , and four new power-ups.
The most precious of these power-ups works like a smart bomb from classic arcade games—when things get really bad, you can use one to frag every monster in your vicinity, no questions asked. Meanwhile, the new monsters in The Second Encounter round out the roster quite nicely. Thirsty For My Guest.
Make no mistake: All your favorite, and least favorite, monsters from the first game can be found in force throughout The Second Encounter, and some have a few new tricks. By mixing in the old with the new creatures and presenting all of them in a wide variety of new situations, the game succeeds in feeling substantially different from the original.
That is, even if you felt exhausted by the conclusion of The First Encounter and how could you not? The other two new weapons you simply cannot live without—your high-tech flamethrower becomes the single best crowd-control tool for close-quarters battles.
Not to be outdone, the new high-powered sniper rifle is equally useful—its 8X magnifying scope lets you draw a bead on enemies from miles away and deliver an instant-hit, often fatal, high-caliber round. Monster Harvest. Since some monsters will bombard you from long range, the sniper rifle becomes essential for taking them out.
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter expects you to be constantly prepared to face off against dozens of different types of monsters, many of which demand different types of tactics.
