Descent 2 is Pure Intense 3D Action!! Sequel to the hit game Descent!! |
Soon after ID Software released Doom, many companies rushed to create a Doom clone with a copy of ID software's 3d engine. Clones included Duke Nukem 3d, Shadow Warrior, Corridor 7, and more. While everyone was rushing to create what they thought would be the hit game of the year, Interplay worked on something totally unique. After many They released Descent. It was the FIRST 360 degree 3d flying game ever, and that revolutionized the industry. The 3d robot graphics, the awesome explosion graphics, and cool weapons....it was truly a cool game. Now comes it's sequel, Descent 2. Like in Descent, you have to fly through mines, destroy the evil possessed robots, blow the reactor, and exit to safety. This game contains 30+ missions, tons more robots, new and more powerful weapons, and much more! This game is twice as fun as the original! New weapons include the Gauss Cannon, Helix Cannon, Omega Cannon, Pheonix Cannon, Guided missile, Smart mine, EarthShaker Missile, plus all of the original weapons from Descent, plus tons more!!! |
The graphics and sounds are awesome, and the game runs great in the traditional 320x240 resolution. However, Descent 2 goes a couple steps further and allows you to change it to 640x480 cockpit or fullscreen resolution, and 800x600 full screen! The graphics are extremely sharp in 800x600, and even sharper when using a 3dfx graphics accellerator. If you played Descent, you would know about the MIDI music in the background and same similar escape movie for each level. In Descent 2, they have a brand new soundtrack that actually plays right from the CD, and almost each level has a unique video trailer of you escaping the mine. The whole experience is really impressive. Key features to this great game are: great multiplayer online, eight player deathmatches, tons of cool weapons , new accessories, bigger robots, new levels, and more! This game is one of the best simulation games ever made, and it continues the story from where Descent left off. It also sets the plot for Descent 3, which looks awesome..... |
