Descent 3 Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games)
The Descent series has long been a favorite of action gamers, and the latest release,Descent III, is by far the best and most impressive yet. Though its basic design is similar to the original game,Descent IIIdoes add a number of new features, such as the ability to fly your craft out of those treacherous mine shafts and cruise around on the surface. Brady's guide to the game explains all of the basics you'll need to be successful. Starting out with some simple piloting tactics and explanations of the game's true 3-D nature, the book goes on to discuss and describe each of the various enemy Bots you will encounter. Flyers, Walkers, Rollers, and Turrets all get their due in this section, so you can always find the dirt on the enemies you're facing. Also, the description of each enemy Bot includes a specific tip for defeating it. Weapons are the focus of the next section of the book, which, though not particularly long, contains lots of good information to digest. Individual mission walkthroughs comprise most of the rest of the book, with a slim section on multiplayer sessions and an interview with producer Jeff Barnhart wrapping things up.--Michael Ryan
