Not as good as people say.
I played this when it was new and I can say, anyone who says it's worth five stars is on a nostalgia trip. The game, at it's core, is solid and rewarding. Upgrades feel good and progress makes you wanna keep playing but it is just SO hard to go back and play this again. The controls feel really awkward to say the least and it can be REALLY easy to get lost during a fire fight. I played the very first one more recently and I died more by crashing into walls than I did from enemies. There's something to be said for this style of gameplay but the first two installments lack a LOT of polish. If you think you might like this sort of gameplay just get Descent 3. It's better in every aspect. This is more like a time capsule than an actually enjoyable gaming experience. Fun to laugh at and show the kiddies but ultimately, very unplayable.

The curious case of D2 missing something
It's rare nowadays that a sequel is on par with its predecessor. I see other reviews that are overwhelmingly positive. Yet somehow Descent 2 doesn't work for me. No, I don't have any technical issues. The concept is the same as in original Descent and Descent 3. Clear out the dungeons, kill bosses/reactors and run like hell. You have more arms than in Descent, the guidebot and other improvements. Technically Descent 2 is miles better than Descent. Yet Descent 2 still doesn't feel right for me. Descent and Descent 3 are fantastic - i absolutely love both games. My reception of Descent 2 is lukewarm at best. Maybe its grandiloquent but I believe Descent 2 is missing its soul. The music is dull compared to D1's or D3's scores. Level design in D2 doesn't 'feel right'. Gameplay feels alien. The game is not as engaging as the other two, in my opinion. I would wrong Descent 2 if i said the game is terrible - it is not. But I just don't enjoy it. I know this is a very different review than my usual routine. Normally I justify my reason when I criticize a game. But in this case there's noghting tangible to point out. This is a case that despite everything being in its place the game is missing that special something, its soul.

Game 5 stars. gog.com 1 star.
First off, the main engine and source of this game is opensource and there is a better solution out there already called the descent rebirth project (google it), gog didn't bother including it in this package. Second, it runs under windows vista as a dosbox application, why bother? the rebirth engine runs as a windows app out of the gate. Third, stability. the dosbox equivalent of this game crashes on me repeatedly in the first D2 level. Which is the reason I went searching for the rebirth patch / fix in the first place. Fourth, to get the rebirth patch working with the right music for the game you have to disect the gog file to make it work. Sure this complaint shouldn't really be a complaint seeming obviously it was gog.coms intention to make you play the old, non-improved, cheap dosbox edition. In short, Descent and Descent 2 are great games, but gog.com really doesn't deliver anything but the descent.gog files for you to make your own solution out of them. Are all gog.com's games this slapped together?
