"Totally overhauled"? It has some more lightning effects, and that's
about it.

Unless, of course, the PSX version runs only in lores. 640x480 Descent 2
runs quite smoothly on my machine (I was a bit suprised it did, as the
original Descent (in hires) did not). The graphics are superb.

I recall I couldn't go up/down (without moving the nose of the ship)
in PSX Descent. IMO makes the game unplayable.
