The best flight seriges game ever
Descent is the best flight game ever, you can move in all directions, smart enemies, great levels, when you are running away from the explosion after defeating the boss is very exciting. You will not regret after playing this game, in one word: awesome!!!.

Six Degrees of WIN
I've been playing the Descent series for more than half my life. Ever since my father introduced me to the demo of Descent 1 sometime in the mid-90s, I've been obsessed with the series. I've spent so much time with all three games, going over all the levels so many times that I pretty much know the first few levels of Descent 1 by heart. Descent is an interesting hybrid of two genres of games: First Person Shooter and Flight Sim. You have level layouts like all the good 90s-era FPSs, think Doom here, but you control a tiny little starfighter, able to fly anywhere in the zero-G environment. Now, obviously you're not just exploring here, there are tons of mining robots all aiming to kill you, many of which are excellent at it. Not that you're really defenseless; you have a plethora of weapons at your disposal, from a simple laser to a vulcan minigun, to a fusion cannon. You also have a range of secondary weapons, from simply dumbfire missiles to fly-by-wire missiles, to proximity mines, to the fearsome Mega Missile. Descent is about as action-packed as you can get. Descent II (or, rather, Descent ][) only ups the ante. The amount of weapons are doubled, far more enemies are added, and more stages are added, making Descent II the definitive Descent game. That's not to say that Descent 1 pales in comparison; both games are just about some of the best old-school action entertainment you're likely to get on the PC. For $6, you can't afford not to give it a try.
