Game Description

Part 3 in the vehicular first-person shooter series. Descent 3 starts off right where the warp-core exploded in Descent II. You miraculously survived the incident, only to be left floating in space, unconscious, headed right towards a sun. A PTMC mining ship snatches you just in time, but not for free. At the price of saving your life, you now have to endure some of the same duties you had to do in the first two Descent adventures, but with a whole lot more going on. Eradicating enemy mining bots is one of your goals, but your mission also includes the investigation behind the virus causing the malfunction of the mining bots' AI. Features 15 levels, 20 weapons, 30 new robots, and the ability to travel inside structures and on the surface.

•20 weapons--from the Flame Thrower to the Black Shark
•All objects have mass, velocity, moments of inertia, and other real-world properties
•More than 30 all-new robots
•Incredible special effects, including spectacular reflective surfaces
•Complete cross-platform play (Macintosh to PC and vice versa) or Internet play over a modem
•New Fusion graphics engine

Can you guys please stop leaving reviews on how you couldn't get the game to work. That's a tech support issue and has nothing to do with wether the game is fun to play. I want to know if the game is good, that is all...I am guessing the game is better than a bunch of ones?more
