A great hack and slash game

I am continually amazed by this game. This game is so much fun. It is even more fun when you bring in a friend. The action is intense. You can choose between a hack and slash character or a shooter. If you have a friend who can play the shooter then you can be the hack and slash guy who can clear the way. If you enjoyed Gauntlet at the arcades back in the days, you owe it to yourself to get this one. The narrator's voice is really cool and works with the story. I think that this game will continue to be a cult game that has substance.

Yes, yes, we all know that this game is not very innovative, which earned it a 5.1 out of 10 in Gamespot. But actually, the point is, IT DOESNT MATTER. It's fun, and thats the whole point of it. Did it become popular in the arcades by being innovative? NO!!! It was popular becuase itz fun, and the hack-and-slash type of gaming has brought it up to one of the most popular game franchises today. If I were u, and i had a Gamecube(YEAH!!!), PS2, or an XBOX, this would be an ideal game of choice for INSANE multiplayer action or to just have fun by yourself.

Gauntlet's back and at it's best!

Oh, I cant't even begin to say how cool this game is in 1,000 words, so I'll shorten it. I recently today wrote a review on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and that is one cool game, but can it equal Gauntlet power? I'm not sure. All I know is this is one cool game!

Gauntlet: To Buy , Or Not To Buy.........

OK , this game is very fun , I'll admit , but it does have a few flaws. One is that I suggest you not buy this game if your an only child , or just a loner with no friends. YOUR GOING TO WANT SOMEONE TO PLAY THIS WITH. Sure , playing it by yourself is fun , but it gets boring , and it gets boring fast with no one at your side. Another is that some of the levels get repeditive. Sure the old small village taken over by zombies genre is cool , but someone should make up something new!

Alright , now that the bad stuff is out and left for you to ponder , on to the good. Now don't get me wrong by what I said before , this game is not boring , there is much to keep you interested. Such as a wide choice of items and magics to cast on your most unfortunate foes.Another interesting thing that got my attention is the different selection of characters. From Knights to Dworfs , this feature will probably grab your head too.

So overall I would say that the game play is fun , the bosses are tough , and the graphics are nice , BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH EVERY NOW AND THEN (AT LEAST) THEN THIS GAME IS NOT THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU. But if this is not a problem for you , then get this game. But remember , the most important review , is yours...

Gauntlet : Dark Legacy Rocks!!!

this game is so cool. the first thing in this game that you get to do that is cool is you get to fight zombies with your basic or heavy attack these attacks get more cooler as you progress thruogh the game. secondly the bosses are really cool but hard. i recommend this game for anyone who liked final fantasy 9 or 7. or for someone who wants a really good long game.

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.

Incredibly Fun... for 30 minutes.

While Gauntlet offers a lot of levels, mosnsters and bosses, it will get boring really fast. It helps to have friends playing but even then it will still wear off fast. If you don't believe me play all the way through the game, then say it's still entertaining. You almost can't do it.

What?

I am very glad I rented this first. I thought it would be good...judging by the good rating. But this game is BY FAR the worst game cube game I've played.

THE COOLEST GAME
