The best action series just got better.
User Rating: 9 | Freespace 2 Gold PC
When you look at the entire Descent series, each game is legitimately great on many different levels. Descent was practically the first true-3D game to hit the market and was a milestone in gaming history; Descent 2 took the concept with more enemies, items, options, and better audio/video; Descent 3 was like a Doom 3 for its series, overhauled graphics, more intense action, basic overkill on everything; Descent FreeSpace took the series into wide open space, introducing space combat that never ceases to please the average person, along with some great graphic and sound effects; and now, the latest evolution of the Descent series, FreeSpace 2. Expanding upon the original in almost every way, FreeSpace 2 continues the story about the Terrans, Vasudans, and Shivans in an epic story rife with space gunplay and a good variety of ships and weapons. Graphics are amazing, with capital ships here and there, smaller ships fighting against each other, it all too great to watch. The sounds are perfect too, nice and loud depending on the situation. This is just an astounding game, a definite keeper. And possibly the greatest thing? For poor people like us, we can run it on the maximum graphic detail setting on our crap computers and it'll still run quite perfectly. Bravo.
