The best just got better. If you've ever played
Descent 1, you know how exciting this awesome fully
3D game is... Descent 2 takes the experience even further. With 30 new
levels and
enemy robots, 10
weapons,
worlds with
water,
fire and
ice,
high resolution support,
cut scene movies, and a CD based
soundtrack, even if you think you know
Descent, you haven't seen or heard anything like this.
Have you ever wished you could turn on "
headlights" in a dark cavern in
Descent? Or how about
transfer power to the shields? Maybe be able to go faster when you've being chased? How about watching a
missile slam into your enemy as you steer it every turn of the way, from the point of view of the missile? Wouldn't it be great if there were
proximity bombs that can tell
friend from
foe? Escape from an exploding
mine without knowing where the exit is? If you answered yes to any of these, Descent 2 is what you've been wishing for.
From
headlights, a
shield transfer device, an afterburner, guided
video camera missiles, smart
proximity bombs, and a
guide bot that helps you do anything from finding
keys to the exit, Descent 2 is everything you want in a hyper-real 3D game.
When it comes to
deathmatch, Descent 2 is
light years ahead of games like the
Doom series, and
Duke Nukem 3D. The fully 3D world of Descent allows for deathmatches that words do not do justice in describing. Suffice to say,
invite your friends over, link up 2 or more computers (you can connect up to 8)
crank up the volume, order some
pizza and don't make any plans for tomorrow...
By the way, you can also play in
cooperative mode, but it's more fun to send a
guided missile toward your (soon to be ex-) friend. ;)
