What is Descent?
Descent is, in my opinion, the most awesome, interesting and challenging 1st-person shooter game series ever made. Similar to Quake, Doom, Unreal and Half Life in concept, Descent puts a new twist on the 3D world: Instead of running around on the ground, you fly a small fighter ship in a zero-gravity environment, which gives you the ability not only to move forward, back, left, right, and to turn left and right; but you can also move up and down, pitch forward and back, and roll left and right, similar to how you would in a flight simulator. Therefore, you have six degrees of motion! For more information on the Descent series, please visit Interplay’s Descent Page.
