~Descent
A review obtained from Internet.
Here's what I think:
If you want full 3D rotation/perspective then this is it the
graphics are REALLY smooth and the sound effects/atmosphere of
the game is excellent (If you are prone to motion sickness in
DOOM then this game _WILL DEFINATELY_ give it to you).
The objective to the game is to fly around MineShafts blowing
away any mining droids, get to the reactor and destroy the lot.
When you destroy a reactor you have to move quickly to the exit
placed somewhere in the mine all the sirens start warning you,
you have T-40 seconds to get the hell out.
If you cannot reach the exit in time a voice kicks and starts a
countdown (Like the voice in ALIENS y'know 10... 9... 8...) and
man do you flap when that happens. Also there are secret
passages all over the place (The walls, the floors and the
ceiling). The 3D Map is _EXCELLENT_ a full wireframe map of
everywhere you have been.
It also has full modem and Network play... Network play I've not
tried yet but modem play... _EXCELLENT_ REALLY smooth PLUS you
don't need a special init string just your normal comms innit
string and it works _SMOOTHER_ than DOOM.
This game is a MUST forget Heretic/ROTT this game is awesome...
I've not stopped playing this since I've had it on the BBS
(Which is why this message is errm a bit late :)).
This game is FULL 3D (It even has support for the VR helmets in
it!!!) of the new releases this chrimbo this is the best IMO.
Take some time with the controls as it's _NOT_ like DOOM you
really have to learn how to Pilot your craft properly Tie
Fighter/X Wing Vets should have no probs especially if you use
the mouse Keyboard combo.
My Top 3 this month:
`1. DESCENT [/////////.] 9/10
`2. Rise Of The Triad [////////..] 8/10
`3. Heretic [////////..] 8/10 (Just)
Descent is available from the Cheet Sheets BBS and is a Free
file cos they are _ESENTIAL_ to any gamers collection IMO.
