GameCloud has posted a preview on the Croteam's upcoming Action-packed first person shooter, Serious Sam II, after getting some hands-on time with the latest beta. Here's a bit on the game's engine:

Graphically Serious Sam II has several steps up from the first two games; enemies and other characters retain the slightly cartoony art style but have a lot more detail and polygons. Lighting and effects are top notch as well. On our somewhat middle of the road PC (2.2 Ghz P4 and GeForce 6800 video card) the game ran very well with only a couple on very brief slowdowns in frame rate with a ton of enemies on screen. We also played the Xbox versions and our big worry was that the frame rate for the console would be bad with the same situation. Thankfully it was not the case.
