Serious Sam 2 is not a bad game, it's a victim of publisher meddling and a bad reputation for going in a different direction than its predecessors. Croteam produced and released the PC and Xbox ports simultaneously, alongside the development of Serious Engine 2 which is no small feat to a small dev team, and that alone is deserving of my respect.
Whether you like the direction it went or not, it's undoubtedly a good game, not perfect, but it stands on its own and aged well.
If you are reading this for whatever reason and bounced off the franchise before, maybe you should give Serious Sam 2 a try. Chances are it's different enough that you might like it.
