Back to the Descent 3 Page
Mercenary
is an outstanding achievement worthy to be in anyone's collection who devoted
anything close to a significant portion of their free time to Descent 3. If you haven't
picked up either of these yet, and like first person shooters, you're missing out on some
serious bonding time between you and your PC. Run out,
grab yourself a nice crispy joystick, and then flip on the answering machine. You're gonna
be here for awhile.

"Descent 3 is so good, it will remain on your hard drive for years. With fantastic
single player and multiplayer to boot, a gamer couldn't ask for more. Even with steep
competition, Descent 3 is an easy candidate for Action Game of the Year."

Descent 3 is a technical tour de force filled with design wizardry. From the robust
graphics and finely tuned interface to the smart computer-controlled opponents and mission
design, this game radiates talent.

It improves in
almost every conceivable way on its predecessors and reestablishes the series as the
premier example of the play style it single-handedly pioneered.

"One of
the best action games you'll ever play."
"Descent 3 is an amazing, beautiful, overwhelming, stunning, jaw-dropping box of
thrills. It's like a whole book of E-tickets, a roller coaster in your backyard, or your
own private F-16. If I can catch my breath, I might call it the most exciting action game
I've ever played."

"With its added story elements, new play features and improved game engine, Descent 3
has clearly distinguished itself from its other 'descentants' and is one of the best
vehicular shooters I have ever played. If you're a big fan of the series, or just a fan of
the genre, Descent 3 is a must have. In fact, don't even bother reading below, I gave it a
nine.
Go out and buy it."

Stars! "It doesn't get much better than this."
"Although Descent 3 is a sequel by definition it feels as original as any newcomer,
while at the same time remaining faithful to the premises and strengths of its
predecessors. Outrage has made our job simple. It doesn't get much better than this."
