PS2 Underrated Gem: Serious Sam: Next Encounter
This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Though this isn't the best game in the Serious Sam series, this is still a very fun arcadey first person shooter. As in other games in the series, the developers love to throw hordes and hordes of baddies your way. Think Duke Nukem, and Doom to the extreme. It's got the oldschool shooter style. Not to big on story, and huge on action. That's what makes the Serious Sam games so fun, and this one is no exception.
Along withthe Single Player, the PS2 version also has an online component. However, no one is ever on it, because it doesn't support a USB headset for communication, but it does however support a USB keyboard. It's online play would be of the oldschool Quake variety. Fast and furious arcade action. It seems like it'd be really fun to play.
Serious Sam: Next Encounter is also available on the Gamecube, but without online play.
