:(Well, maybe not _that_ easily, but pretty damn easily.)

huh? I finished mission 2 the very first time I played it! I think Descent
is too easy.

*shrug*

:Yeah, that bites. If you die before you blow the reactor, you can go back

:
:>The game is still great and all

:
:Actually, 2 and 3 are the hardest ones. With 4, 5 and 6, you just need to
:make dry runs to the exit before you blow the reactor.

the very first evening I played descent, I reached 4, no problems. then
I got bored and never played it again

:
:>IMO they should only
:>do this once in awhile instead of all the time.  It would make more sense to
:>take over a mine instead of destroying it.  To me the exit after core failure
:>is the only thing that makes this game difficult for beginning players who
:>aren't overly used to 6 degrees of motion...
:
:So get used to it. :^) After playing Descent, I deleted Heretic, Dark
:Forces and RoTT. They were too flat to interest me anymore.

the graphics of descent seem nice, but the gameplay is soooo boring!
I have finished doom][ a long time ago, still I play the game...

:
:>        Any help on where the exit is from the core would be appreciated since
:>I don't feel like having to go through the whole level again...
:
:On level 2, leave the reactor room the way you came in, go through the next
:room, into the one beyond, and aim for the ceiling. (You go through two
:doors, then up.)
:
:>They tried
:>to hard to make it more of a flight sim than a Doom clone/action game...
:
:Descent isn't a flight sim and it isn't a Doom clone. Descent is completely
:new.

maybe, but I dont like it

:
:>        Also is the full game out yet?  If it is I'll just go out and buy
:>that since it allows you to save anywhere (I assume)...
:
:Should be out early next month mail-order, early March in the stores.
