Was 3 any good? Last one I played was 2 and that was pretty awesome.
I only played 1 and that was awesome! 6DOF master race!
I loved them all, but if I had to choose
Descent 2 > Descent 1 > Descent 3
3 was a well done transition into a new type of game engine. Good advancement of the story. Worth playing if you are a fan of the first 2. Felt like the developers cared for and stuck to the vision.
Playing Descent II online was one of the highlights of my childhood back in the early days of internet gaming. The community was excellent too, with a lot of custom maps created using the D2 Level Builder, which I got pretty good with myself haha.
