Best FPS out there

I've been playing Descent 3 for about a year now and still haven't found an equal to it. For an FPS it requires lots of thinking. And of course quick reflexes and skill. You also need to know how to use all of the weapons available, and how to dodge them! For single player, the storyline picks up where D2 left off and it is more detailed. It is very easy to get into single player as the bots aren't too tough to start off with. But watch out for the guys in Anarchy on multiplayer! You'd better get some practice in there before messing with those online guys! A few tips for all you people who want to get into D3: 1: Keep your head screwed on straight! Don't get excited. 2: Keeping yourself alive is more important than killing your enemy. You'll be surprised how many times you can get em by just firing back while dodging his weapons. 3: Always be polite playing multi! Mouthing off will get you blown up faster than than you can say "OUCH!"

As for the graphics, all I can say is, AWESOME! Just get a card with 32 MB or it might not look like very good!

This is the BEST GAME EVER!

Descent 3 has a great plot. You work for a futuristic space defender organization. Your job is to foil the plans of the evil Samuel Dravis, the president of the Post Terran Mining Corporation(PTMC). The game has the best graphics I have ever seen in a game. With a wide variety of weapons to use, robots to destroy, and mysterious puzzles to solve, you can have the time of your life. I highly suggest you get this game.

Even after 5 years Descent 3 still provides the most unique gameplay of all FPS. Admittedly it has a very steep learning curve to get a grip on the true 360deg environment (move on 4 axis at the same time..) but it's worth the work ! Besides the excellent and huge single player levels, D3 features a wide bunch of multi player modes like CTF, Entrophy, Hyper Anachy etc.
You can find a ton of add-on's at planetdescent.com and there's an online community regulary playing league games. Beware tho, you should have mastered D3 on insane level before going online, else you'll get shot up :^)

a good series gone bad

When I bought This game I expected a few things. 1) I expected more wepons that I can destroy robots with 2)I expected new levals which I could explore 3) I expected more mindless destruction 4) I expected better graphics. 5) I needed to know what happened to material defender ( the guy you play as in all the descent series)

Decent 2 had all these things I wanted. I personally think that was one of the best games out there. When I bought Descent 3 I expected a improved Decent 2. I was wrong. You do get almost all the things I expect in a sequal but you get something else that I didn't want or suspect. Now it wasn't go into a mind destroy all the robots blow up the mind and get out of there in t-30 seconds you now had to accomplish objectives and there was no center of the mind or boss robots there were objectives you had to complete. That took out some of the mindless destruction part of the series which in my opinion was the best part. One more thing this game is hard I'm stuck on leval 2. This game in my opinion is a disapointment to the series. Go buy descent 2 instead instead.

Still my number 1 since days of old...Mercenary gets even better with large mayhem battles and nasty Droids.If I start to breath slow-tense breaths--it's a good game! Better buy the cheat book or your a loser!

Good game, large requriements

This is a really good game. Great graphics, good game play, and chalnging levels all are some of D3's major features. However, the graphics are so good that you need more then 64mg ram to play. my 333mg, 160 ram can run slow, and im not even on the higher graphics setting. Also the levels are way to hard. It sounds pathetic, but im stuck on level 2. Dont buy this game unless you are a interplay fantic.

MY FAVORITE

First off, if you don't enjoy multiplayer, then this game isn't for you. I have never played the single player version of the game because once I played multiplayer I couldn't get away. This game is freakin addicting and one hell of a ride. Levels are constantly being made for multiplayer, which never makes the game old or boring. By this I mean that people who actually play descent can work on building new levels to play in for everyone around the world. If you like dogfighting with all sorts of missiles, exploding bombs(impact mortars), and a wide variety of guns to fire with on your ship, then this game is for you. Buy this game now... and play descent with thousands of poeple around the world. You won't regret it. I promise!

One of the greatest

When I first played the origanal descent I loved it. I would play for hours, just staring at the screen. When I my friend said he had descent 3 I just had to try it out. I must say it is a great game. The graphics were slightly better than descentI. I also liked the robot allie who follows you around and helps you. The levels were however, much harder than those of descentI. also, the robots seem a lot smaller than they really are. When they should be 4 feet long, they look like 1 ft. But it is still a great game, One of the greatest sci fis i have ever played. If you are thinking buying this game, trust me, it will be worth it.
