"Not a Happy Camper"
Version: Serious Sam II demo
Pros
Loved the original two episodes. From what I've been able to see, I'd like to play this one too.
Cons
I've got Doom III, Quake 4, Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R., Painkiller, Far Cry. Absolutley no problems running any of them at full specs. (AMD 4200 x2, NVidia 7800GTX, 2Gig ram, SB Live 5.1 Platinum, XP Pro 2SP) This game just will not run. I've even installed the patch (.066a)which is supposed to fix some twin core problems. Thought that would do it. Latest drivers for everything are installed. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. After the first level, once into the second, I just loose all control. The mouse goes from the ground to the sky, continually. Tried to control with the keyboard but can't aim very good that way. Unistalled and reinstalled my Logitech drivers. Tried uninstalling the Logitech and going with the XP default drivers. Nothing works. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice. No luck.
I give up. Gonna go back and finish up F.E.A.R.
Garfent.

"Great Fun, Serious Crashes"
Version: Serious Sam II demo
Pros
Goofy, lively gameplay. Imaginative graphics.
Cons
Crashes my whole computer EVERY TIME I PLAY! Tried every bug fix and remedy from the website and message boards, still no go. If you have an NVIDIA FX 5600 don't even bother trying. I have many other resource-needy games (Doom 3, Quake, Far Cry, Painkiller) & have never had a problem.

"Sluggish, poor video, poor sound. Game concept looks intriguing"
Version: Serious Sam II demo
Pros
I like the attitude of the game as well as the general look and feel of this strange world. They seem very close to recapturing that strange other-world feeling from the last game, but in a different sci-fi way. Some good possability here if only it didn't run like a dog!
Cons
I've got a 2.4Ghz P4 with Nvida FX5200, SoundBlaster Live! card. It's a nice fast DELL system, but this game ran very slowly on anything but 'minimal' setting. Jerky video/game play, garbled, scratchy sound - so bad I had to mute. There's some serious problems here. Perhaps after some patches the game will work, but as is I would not purchase - no way! Shooting at multicoloured light flying things - when the background is also multicoloured reflective and moving and I sometimes didn't even know what I was aiming at. Being chased by 6 helicopters could be fun, but it's almost like they used the same code for running animals as they did for helicopters... they would just run into you or buildings and crash themselves. I felt like I got shot 100 times yet nothing happened to me. It's a bit hard to even see that they are shooting at you. Bring back the head-less bombers " Arrrrgggghhhh "

"Fun but short!"
Version: Serious Sam II demo
Pros
Haven't had so much fun for ages! But I must admit that after playing for the first time, it left me confused, it was nothing I expected... But after playing it for 10th time, I can only say it ROCKZZZ!!!
Cons
Demo level was waaay too short. But after watching credits movie, this seems more like a bad decision made by developers than what this game will really be about.

"A Disappointing Piece of Sludge Residue"
Version: Serious Sam II demo
Pros
Croteam finally gave an ending to the Serious Sam series
Cons
The game has lost all the glory it had in past versions. As being a long time Serious Sam player, I found this a grave disappointment in both gameplay, graphics, and sound quality. In shortened words, it has gone from a PC grade level, to a console. (Which has its perks) But is not the sam I'm looking for.
