Descent 2

Thankfully a lot of good stuff from the first game has been carried on, alongside great improvements in graphics and textures to create areas with a strong sense of environmental feel.

Overall, Descent 2 is quite a pretty good Cinematic Flight Based Shooter where you have total and complete Freedom where you move about in the mining colonies and its high action gameplay is pretty nice as its a challenging game as you get into the later mining colonies.

WEAPONS are some of the funnest and coolest in a vintage "mainstream" game (along with Rise of the Triad).

Love the intro w/fun voice acting and sound effects... some of that is nostalgia for sure... which brings me to the only real down side: RESOLUTION.

But if you want more, guides on Steam and elsewhere will get you many, many more levels beyond the 30 (24 + 6 secret levels) single-player levels in the base campaign and a better multiplayer experience.

It was worth pulling my joystick out of its storage box for this but it plays decently well on keyboard and mouse or keyboard-only, although the controls take some getting used to (kind of a mix of 90's FPS like DOOM and a flight simulator).
