Descent 2 picks up from where the first Descent game leaves off with some really great improvements. The game was created by Parallax Software Corporation and is a shooter game that involves aliens and robots. Parallax also created the first Descent game.
In this game you will play a mercenary who has to investigate aliens in the Zeta Aquilae system. After you finish the job you will be able to collect the payment and go back home. The payment you are collecting is the money that the mercenary actually earned from finishing the first job in the first Descent game.
In the first project that has been assigned to the mercenary, he was supposed to eliminate the aliens that have been infiltrating the Solar System. The thing is, after having completed the first assignment, instead of being paid and being sent home, you find out that you are still contractually obliged to the company. They hold of your payment and send you to the new assignment in Zeta Aquilae. Only after you finish this new assignment will you be sent home with your money.
You will then have to face aliens and other obstacles in this place. There will be a guide robot that will help you in your journey but even with the guide robot the game can
be very challenging. You need to locate the guide bot and in the latter parts of the game the guide bots are not that easy to locate so that adds to the challenge of the game itself. You can use the guide bots to locate exits, power ups and other useful things in the game. You just tell the guidebot what you are looking for and follow it through the game.
The graphics in the second game has been greatly improved from the first game. It is done in 3-D graphics with stunning details and design. The graphics is one of the best features of the game. The sounds also add more fun to the game. The plotline is pretty interesting and the game is not boring at all. It is fast-paced, well-made and will keep a gamer interested for a pretty long time.
Another great aspect of the game is how you can play it over a network with multiple players. This definitely adds to the value of the game. Overall I would say this game is worth downloading especially for those who enjoy the shooter genre.
