nice as in what kind of nice ?

some sort like L4D, co-op will be nice

Wanted to get this game but been finding myself having less time. My little one has been zapping my energy and sleep time increasingly so it's hard for me to warrant the purchase of a new game that i will have little time to play on. I've instead just play Team Fortress 2 with any free time that came on. Will certainly be keen to purchase TSE when steam has a 50% sale on.

The co-op for Serious Sam games are really nice and immersive. The music, the excitment, the throngs of mobs that lunge at you from every direction makes it for a very enjoyable gaming session with your friends. I have not come across another online FPS game that has up to 16 player co-op! MMO does not count!
