You will hear all of the normal weapon sounds and explosions. The sound effects in Serious Sam II are very fitting to the game and, while not the best in the business, are above average.

The graphics can be scaled to fit your machine, making it possible for more advanced systems to achieve even better graphics with little to no drop in performance. The arenas you play in are quite varied you will find yourself playing in snow, fairy tale cities, Asian carnivals, enormous back-yards, and many other crazy areas. There are tons of trees, flowers, grass, dirt, hills, and shrubs all over the place and the lighting provided is good too. Aside from the enemies, the looks of the rest of the game is superb as well. While the various creatures are nothing to brag about, the immense number on screen at one time sure is. The graphics in this game are outstanding. Usualy on my sniper aim I expect to see a German helmet, but here you'll get all sorts of beasts Most of the vehicles provided, the hover cars and spinning spike pods, serve mainly as an extra layer of armor for Sam, but the rolling ball of death you get at the start of the game is beyond exciting. Vehicles have been added and are an exciting edition to Sam’s arsenal. You will find yourself using the regular arsenal much more than you will use these unique weapons, but don’t worry, they’ll get the job done. These weapons, like the enemy seeking parrot bomb, are fun to use but the situation to use them does not come along very often. Sam will still be using the traditional pieces like a double-barreled shotgun, rocket gun, and chain gun, but there are also more specialized weapons available. The arsenal in Serious Sam II is much more inventive this time around. Aside from her good humor, Nettis is very useful in orienting Sam towards his objectives, and basically telling Sam what he needs to do and where he needs to go. She makes hilarious comments throughout the game that will keep you in good humor as you go on your killing spree. The Netricsa system is back, and the highly informative and helpful Nettie explains things to you in a spoken dialogue. As long as you kill are able to kill that comes your way and stay alive, the pieces you need, will eventually fall into your lap. When the hundreds of beasts are after you for blood, you definitely won’t be thinking about a medallion, and you probably won’t even care about why they’re chasing you. The game is more about staying alive and surviving than the hunt for these objects. While you may think this sounds like a relatively easy task, you thought wrong. Mental is back and there are five pieces of a medallion, “The Medallion of Power,” you must find.

There is a background to Serious Sam II, but it isn’t very detailed. Serious Sam features numerous levels and puzzles. Just shoot the hell out of everything you see. Like its parent game, Serious Sam, and expansion, Second Encounter, Serious Sam II is fast-paced action from start to finish. Serious Sam II is the sequel to Serious Sam and has greatly improved graphics and top rate game-play.
