I've got to say, that this game is pretty great. The graphics, um... they're horrible!!! They are just as bad as N64 graphics, because their hands are square!!!Good game though.

This is the greatest game of all time for the Nintendo Gamecube! The replay value is absolutely amazing! You can play as one of 8 different characters which each differ in ability. Then you have an attack, a better attack, a super attack and you can find over 50 items to use while your playing! Its absolutely the BEST! Tons of different worlds and bosses which never get boring to repeat! I currently have 4 level 99 characters and im still playing! Talk about awesome! I would highly recommend this game to anyone!

Fun to play with your kids

Want some bonding time with your kids? Get this game. It is fun to play as a team and conquer all the levels and bosses. Just don't get upset when your kids run ahead and grab all the treasure or coins. I would just level up my character when they were at school real quick so I stayed up with them. I have more fun playing it be myself but can't do that if the kids are home and want to play too. This is just a fun no thinking game.

ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLAY IT. by patrick russell!

Ok, so you can grow into a legend at level 99 and whup zombie [toosh]and all. That's cool, but the downside of this game is the GLITCHES! 1. There is no energy bar for bosses or tough enemies.
2. The Scimitar of decapitation doesn't ever work.
3. You are unable to use all of the inventory items.
4. If you buy any stats, they reset.(most annoying)
All these glitches are on the gamecube version, but the Xbox and PS2 versions are PERFECT! What's your problem, Midway? Do you hate Nintendo or something? If you want this game buy it for PS2 or Gamecube.

who is who?

In Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for GC there are many characters, and there are some a bit similar from last time. But for the new one i thought it would be helpful to know who does what. Well its simple the sorceress and jester are for playing it safe with distance attacks. But the worrior and dwarf are for danger and the hack n' slash style. Thats all for now! (signed pro gamer)

Great for those one of a kind gamers...

Do you like button mashing games? Games where you repeatidly press the same button over and over until the next level? If so then you will like this game. The game is similar the nintendo 64 version but has added many more levels and characters. The game is one to four players. The game is at it's best when you are playing with four of your buddies, but if you are playing by yourself it gets very repeditive and well boring.
The graphics aren't that great and well if you didn't know this was the Gamecube version you would think that you were playing the 64. Also it is very frustrating when you just miss two or three gems and you don't know where. The people at Midway looks like they just rushed through this game to get it done.
There are good things about this game. There are a few good things about this game. The levels and all the different combinations and weapons will keep you playing for a while. My advice is unless you love these kind of games I would just rent it. I don't think it is worth purchasing.

This game stole my friend

Ok, as for the title of this review, I'll get back to that later. But as for the game itself...it's awful. You run through these maze-like levels, pounding the buttons, sometimes stopping to solve boring, switch/door "puzzles" (they didn't even bother with boxes). You cannot move the camera; the levels are so linear, your view so limited, that this might as well be 2-D.

Yet, creating a mindless, boring button-masher wasn't enough for Midway. They had to go and add "RPG elements". Which means that they take the ABSOLUTE WORST PART of the RPG genre--endless experience grinding. You see, merely mashing buttons is not enough. You must mash buttons through the same levels over and over in order to level up enough, otherwise your chances of beating the game are shot.

And also, although the rest of the game is ridiculously easy, you'll never win if you can't get the special items to defeat the bosses. Which, of course, are near-impossible to get.

Now that that's off my chest, I'll explain the title. This game stole dozens of hours of my friend's life. She can't beat it on her own, because the difficulty is ridiculous, so she just enters the invincibility code over and over, and blows through the game time and time again....She's over her "Gauntlet phase" now, thank goodness, but for a while there it was all she did...

Don't get this game. Seriously. Real gamers will be bored out of their skulls; casual gamers, like my friend, are at risk of getting addicted. Now go buy something better. Like a game by Nintendo.

People MUST see this game for what it is

Guantlet: DL is a great multi platform game
blending elements of games such as Diablo and Dungeons and Dragons into a crisp and more action oriented package. That is not to say they skimp on the RPG elements, however, This game is
packed with magic, potions, items, and adventures...as well as
awsome Boss fights. It's also improved greatly on the Gamecube with an expanded inventory system and MORE items. The music is great and changes level to level, the graphics could be better
but hey Diablo ain't no prize in that catagory either. BUT I think all to often people treat this game as it has to live up to Bladur's gate or Dungeons and dragons when all it wants to do is be a great, immersive, and did I mention BIG RPG adventure. Something it does perfectly.

Addictive But Not Really Good

Guantlet is a very addictive game once you own it, but I really have never figured out why. The graphics are poor, you need next to no intelligence to play the game, and while enemies are always coming at you in great numbers they are killed with one or two hits. Gauntlet also lacks any type of interesting plot. And the plot that does exist doesn't really fit into the gameplay at all. I guess I use Gauntlet as a game where I can vent my frustration by kiling thousands of peons. But if you are looking for a real game I would recommend one with a good storyline and more difficult enemies.
