Controller support - Xbox 360 gamepad is now supported! Improved wide screen support. Fixed enemy spawning issues. 

Press reviews: “Sam II's wild, random charm makes for a twisted Duke Nukem meets Alice in Wonderland sort of roller coaster ride-a perfect change of pace from the scads of grim 'n' gritty shooters steeped in WWII war zones and dystopian postapocalyptic futures.” A – 1UP “Croteam has succeeded on all fronts delivering a sequel that lives up to our steep expectations.” 8.5/10 – Worth Playing “Fans of old school shooters will definitely find the challenge and excitement level are very high here.” 8.2/10 – IGN
