Descent 3 for Windows

Pros: graphics, AI, multiplayer, weapons, very fun, easy to learn, variety
Cons: single player can get repetitive, hard to get accustomed to

Back when the internet was still young and my computer sported the new powerful 486sx33 processor I was first drawn to the Decent series. The effects were spectacular for the time period. The game never really made the mainstream as fast paced shooters...

Pros: High Definition Graphics, Thriving Multiplayer Community, Large Single Player Missions
Cons: Poor Soundtrack

With Descent 3 you are getting a high impact, heart pounding shoot-em up with great graphics, gameplay, and a thriving multiplayer community.

First to the graphics, which if your system can handle it are amazing. Hate to use that word, since...

Pros: Nice graphics, fun multiplayer
Cons: Single Player could be improved

After playing past Descents I wasn't expecting much from this game. Boy was I wrong.
For once, an action game has shipped with intuitive, and perfectly operational multiplayer. Spanning over 9 multilayer modes, game styles, and connection types....

Pros: Graphics, 3d environment
Cons: Multiplayer VERY lagged, nothing importantly new from Descent 2

Descent 3 to me is just Descent 2 but better. In other words, just feels like a patch or update, nothing special. Graphics are very nice indeed and the 3d environment adds to it. That is the only thing i like about the next in the Descent series. In...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: replayability

Descent3 has come a long way, moving towards a Descent style
game that will keep em coming back for more and more. The use of todays
3d graphics cards in game building always helps a games overall look and
feel. Descent3...

Pros: Perfect graphics, perfect gameplay, perfect controls
Cons: Not as addictive as I'd hoped, a bit too challenging

This game is non-stop complete 3-D, fully free movement, robot blasting, breathtaking graphics, extraordinary gameplay insanity! This is without a doubt the ABSOLUTE zenith, the ABSOLUTE apex, the ABSOLUTE acme of video games in all areas. When I got...

Pros: Spectacular graphics, great levels...amazing all around
Cons: takes a powerful system. Guidebot could be smarter

Being a fan of the Descents preceeding it, I was eager to try out Descent 3. Unfortunately I didn't get the game. I got a slide-show. My P200 couldn't run Descent3 decently on even it's lowest quality.
That's why I'm reviewing now. After running it...

Pros: graphics, sound effects, plot, surroundings
Cons: 2 discs

I loved this game from the begging! When it came out back in 1995. It was the first one that defined the 360° degrees rotation. I was hooked. From time to time my head would become dizzy, but I did not care, it was so kewl. The Descent got original plot...

Pros: good level design, multiplayer fun, sound
Cons: its really hard, there are not enough missions

There was so much hype on Descent 3 about it using 2 3D engines, adding planetside sections, and taking the game out of the mines. But in the end Descent 3 still is Descent. This is not a bad thing. The feel, the gameplay, and the fun will be familiar...

Pros: Great 3-D action
Cons: need a big system to run the game

Being a Descent fanatic since game one and two, I had to have Descent III.
My first impression is, Descent III is a Magical Wonder in it's own right, far outreaching anything the first two games had to offer. About the only thing Decent III has is...

Pros: Impressive graphics, multiplayer mode is VERY intense!
Cons: Unless you've played the originals, have fun with the controls.

The third installment in the legendary Descent series boasts new weapons, great graphics, and lots of neat stuff that will keep you stuck to this game like flypaper!

Strengths:

1) Flat-out amazing graphics.
Some...

Pros: great 3D action and a huge entertaining arsenal of new weapons
Cons: you need a good system or it can be a little slow

This game blew me away. I had to get a few cheat codes off the net just so I could get a peek at all the cool weapons in the game itself. The endless arsenal can entertain you for hours, especially the mass driver. Of course this review is coming from...

Pros: Graphics, enviornment, advanced AI, plot, and multiplayer.
Cons: It takes a pretty powerful computer to run.

Okay, it wouldn't be just of me to call this game "epic". It's just not that kind of game. It does however have an excellent balence of both action, and puzzle.

Back in 1994, I was introduced to "Descent". My friend and...

Pros: Addictive...maybe too addictive
Cons: See above, 1,2,3.

This game is the latest in the Descent series. The graphics instill one with awe, and the gameplay is unrivaled. The levels are huge, the storyline is enthralling, and the game overall is addictive. I only have 3 gripes:

1. The guidebot....

Pros: Graphics, sound, missions, multi-player
Cons: Limited outdoor ceiling, inventory system

Interplay has been milking the Decent series for some time now. After Decent 2 came Freespace, which brought players out of the mines and into the wide open. After an add-on pack and a sequel, it’s time to go back underground with Decent 3, and...
