Rating: - Blast from the Past!
I haven't played Descent 2 in years, and the first game was one of my favorites back in the day. The beauty of Descent 2 is in how much community support the game has. You can still play this title on modern machines due to the patches and upgrades available. Yes, the graphics are still old looking, but the gameplay is top notch, way better than the third game in the series. Please note this is the 'regular' version of the game, and does not include extra levels or features.
Rating: - Puissance unmatched.
A myriad of new and old weapons, including the ability to perceive three dimensions at once, will help you outwit new robots and rid the galaxy of it's alien, robotic, evil seed ...'til Descent III that is.
I played this game ages ago when my system was nothing more than 120 MG's at the cpu level. Windows '95 baby. Now that NT rules the land it's hard to get this one running. I've got the win-95 compatiblity set, now for the joystick. I'm reluctant to say that new-age joysticks don't ... Read More

Well what can I say, Descent 2 is one of the greatest games to ever come out on ANY system. If the vicious soundtrack doesn't grip you, the mindless and non-stop action surely will. Perfect in almost every single aspect, this game is a must-get for any gamer.
Rating: - Going dooooooooown! WOOHOO!!!!
OK, I must say, even though this isn't the most complex game on the market these days, i still LOVE Descent 1 & Descent 2! They're 2 of my favorite "older" video games!!!
When they first hit the scene, they were quite the games!
Even today, these games offer a unique 3D experience!
While the Descent games are not the easiest to master (with the control pad), once you master the controls, these games are SERIOUS FUN!!!!
Basically, you're "MATERIAL DEFENDER"! ... Read More
