My Favorite Descent "Descentdant!"

The Good
This version of Descent seemed to add a little more purpose to the series. It is very nice that this version has objectives! A Perfect Dark version of Descent, if you will. It explains the plot of the complete trilogy extremely well, and also isn't half as repetitive as the other versions. (In the other ones, you blow up everything and fly out of the mine.)

The Bad
The levels were REALLY long. If you started a level at 11 at night, you could be there until 2a.m. And my computer is from 1997, so its really slow on it. And there is one really fat ship you fly. It sucks.

The Bottom Line
If you found the first two Descents boring, but liked the feel of the game, this is the one to buy. I'd also recommend the Mercenary version. It explains the story from every viewpoint.
