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.

A perfect example of what a GC game should be.

This is one of the first Gamecube Games I have played. It is really fun, and Leveling up the charactors gives the game GREAT replay value. Who cares if it has horrible voice acting, It is still fun. Like some other reviewers said,This game is great to play with your family. Even my mom and my 6 year old sister like to play this. Whenever my cousins come over, we do 4-player mode and it is AWESOME.

As Most Midway games go, this is fairly easy to beat (I beat it alone when I was like 10) But sometimes all the levels do get repetitive. It definately looks like this game was rushed to the stores. There is alot of glitches and bugs in it, and it freezes. And as for the levels, the only thing that it changes as you go along are the backrounds, and the emenies. But a few puzzles here and there makes up for that.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
This was an overlooked and underrated Gamecube game, but with lots of potentiol. This is a must have for your Gamecube collection, as long as you can take it correctly, and deal with the glitches. You should rent it first and if you like it, then buy it. I have had this game since 2002, and still play it like every 2 weeks. Why not give it a try?

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.

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.

Multiplayer is a MUST

This was the first game I bought for my Gamecube. For the most part it was a solid game in Multiplayer mode and a boring game in Single Player. Lets break down some of the aspects to this game.

Multiplayer Play: 5/5. Cant get much better then this. Its fun the sit around the TV with 2 or 3 of your friends and play this game. Its always a race for the treasure or a race for the food item. Multiplayer play wise this game is almost the best out there.

Single Player Play: 2/5. I tried it but it just isnt the same. There is no build up of emotions to get to the chests and theres no teamwork to take down the boss. Its not as fun with only one person I'd stay away from this if your going to play it by yourself.

Characters: 5/5. there are 6 characters to begin the game with and about 10 unlockables that you can unlock throughout your adventures. Plently of great charcaters from a Jester, to a wizard, to a Amazon, etc. Wonderful Selection.

Length- 4/5. Its about an 8-10 hour game not cheating or using any guides. Its certainly worth the $20.00 MAX you would put out to buy it.

In conclusion this game is 100% worth it for Multiplayer action and not worth it for single player action.

The Greatest Gamecube Game Ever!

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!

Hallelujah!

Upon renting this game I didn't think very highly of it, mostly because of glitches in it that were apparently absent in the PS2 and X-Box versions of the game. But no more! I just received this as a gift and it appears Midway now makes an updated version with any bugs removed. Even some camera angles in certain boss battles are different but things I have noticed as of right now:
1. The bosses and golems DO HAVE life bars.
2. The Scimitar of Decapitation along with any other faulty weapons now work PERFECTLY.
3. Inventory is much more responsive.
4. Stats DO stay in place after you purchase them
And last but not least
5. No more getting your character caught and unable to move on ledges!

If you have been debating on whether or not to purchase this, now would be the time!
