This game looks great. I have grown up on the gauntlet series, and i love it so much it's not funny, and this game looks just as good as it's counterparts on the gamecube, Xbox, And PS2. Gotta say the graphics are exotic and the game control is smooth.
BUY IT!...

I actually wasn't expecting much of this game when I bought it. I have the Playstation 2 version, and i though : "This will never beat a PS2 game!" ... I was wrong! The gameplay is more dynamic, and I'm quite pleased with the graphics and music. The fact that different charactes actually have different qualities (as opposed to the PS2 version) Help a lot. It definately brought back the 80's Nintendo fan in me.

Sorry to say, but there isn't much to tell about this game. I would preferably rather go with the one on PS2 or something. The sad thing is that you might as well just get Gauntlet Legends on Playstation. Why? To me, it's the same exact thing. But the programmers took some of their time to shove some new stuff in. For example, the levels are different (This only means the worlds are, not the stroy line; the boses and characters are practically the same, and yes, Skorn's in here). However, There's no co-operative, and I still haven't figured out what the gold's for! But just not to let your hopes up, it is a decent game. The graphics are okay. But if you're someone like me that actually wants a good action game, don't buy it...

This game is not NEARLY as good as the other Gauntlet games. The levels are long and boring, the characters are Bad, there is no shop to buy things (therefore the collecting of gold is pointless), and the items activate the second you pick them up. I liked the other Gauntlet games much better than this one (especially the one for gamecube), but thats just my opinnion and if you want to waste your money and try to prove me wrong, then go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you.

This game is...just it. The best version I've played this game on was Gamecube, and that was just b/c you could keep your items in storage to bring out in case you need them, otherwise they're all the same, and there's little new, cept maybe a few levels otherwise everything remains the same. Might be good for rent, but only version worth buying is on the Nintendo Gamecube.

While I expected a flashback to the coin-op days, I got only a poor imitation. The audio is horrible, and the game play (though the controls are easy) is just plain SLOW. Compared to other games' features, this game is seriously lacking -- no mapping, difficult navigation (given the psuedo-3D of the worlds you traverse), and finally, after spending time looking for and collecting gold, there is NO REASON TO DO SO! Gold means nothing! AAAGGGHHH.

I was also looking forward to the audio telling me things like "Red Warrior needs food badly," but in reality, this game is "about to die."

I just got this game for Christmas and I love it. I like it because its not too complicated yet it takes a long time for each level so you never get bored or "stuck" with it!

This is true Gauntlet insanity! Gauntlet is a game that is just that; a gauntlet. You are one of four heroes (archer, barbarian, Viking, or sorcerer) sent on a quest (I have no idea what that quest is), that you must enter a labyrinth (you see a bird's eye view) and work your way from the start point to the exit that takes you to the next labyrinth by any means necessary. So why is this game a gauntlet? There are enemy houses in the labyrinth, and when you see them they begin producing enemies and they do not stop until you destroy the house itself. There are specific houses for each enemy (scorpions, ghosts, wizards, grunts and more). The enemies are easily destroyed either with your long-range attack (archer is the best for this) or the close range attack (barbarian is the best for this). There are enemies such as Minatares, rock monsters and death itself, which walk through the labyrinth without being made by a house. There are power-ups throughout the labyrinth, such as a variety of food, magic potions, and keys to unlock doors and treasure chests. So why would anyone play this game? The person who plays this game needs an incredible challenge, because you are far and beyond outnumbered! This game is not for everyone!
