Ascending to new levels!

byscaler Mar 12, 2000

Pros Nice graphics, fun multiplayer
Cons Single Player could be improved
Recommended it? Yes

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. Descent 3 even supports the old Modem-Modem... Read full review »

Descent 3: Why are you forgotten?

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

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 like Doom and Rise of the Triad (which had its... Read full review »

The Best of the Series - Without a Doubt

29 Helpfuls 30 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros High Definition Graphics, Thriving Multiplayer Community, Large Single Player Missions
Cons Poor Soundtrack
Recommended it? Yes

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 it's so overused, but it truly is. High... Read full review »

Pros Graphics
Cons replayability
Recommended it? Yes


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 plays smooth from mission to mission and has a straight

Descent series takes a fall

byberzerk Mar 4, 2000
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Graphics, 3d environment
Cons Multiplayer VERY lagged, nothing importantly new from Descent 2
Recommended it? Yes

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 terms of multiplayer, unless you have a... Read full review »

HOT - DESCENT III - HOT

bydacman Mar 2, 2000
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros graphics, sound effects, plot, surroundings
Cons 2 discs
Recommended it? Yes

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 that follows through out the all 3 series... Read full review »

Descent 3

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros good level design, multiplayer fun, sound
Cons its really hard, there are not enough missions
Recommended it? Yes

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 for people who have played the first 2... Read full review »

Descent 3 will rock your world and theirs!

byfirehawk_71 Dec 7, 1999
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
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
Recommended it? Yes

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 a Descent junkie, I mean I had one of the very... Read full review »

A Magic Wonder, But Considered a Sequel!

byDamnNiceGuy Nov 25, 1999
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great 3-D action
Cons need a big system to run the game
Recommended it? Yes

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 common with games one and two is the Name and... Read full review »

My Mind in the Mines...Again

Pros Fantastic graphics and robot designs
Cons New handling takes a bit getting used to and nothing new except going outside.
Recommended it? Yes

This series was by all time my favorite.

Descent 1 had all the potential a game could offer with a
360 degree environment and killer first action gameplay.

Descent 2 reached some of the potential without changing
the game engine and adding a flare(no pun intended) here... Read full review »
