Sorely disappointing

This game was disappointing. I played it on the N64 and not much has changed since it came out on the GC. There are a few new characters and enemies and other small changes but overall the game is the same. The graphics don't look much better than Gauntlet Legends and the sound effects are annoying (you know the thumping foot steps). It seems to me that Midway wanted to get a game out on the GC quickly and inexpensively and this is what they came up with. What was Nintendo thinking? They should never had allowed this game to be released on their console. What's the point in having a next-gen. console without a next-gen. game? My advice: if you want to play this game rent it or borrow it from a friend....

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.

POSEURS!

HOW COME WHEN PS2 RELEASES A GAME THAT SELLS WELL GAMECUBE HAS TO HAVE IT SO THEY CAN MAKE SOME MONEY? How come more than half of you games are on PS2? Try to release games THAT ARE YOUR OWN, NOT FOR PS2!

Aweful

this is the worst gamecube game i have played. terrible graphics, and extremely easy gameplay, make this a poor choice.

Not even arcade quality

This game was so disapointing. I would think that the graphics would have been improved over the N64 for the superior GameCube, but NO! And talk about boring. If I wanted to walk around all day smacking the same creatures time after time, then I would play Zelda for the original Nintendo, it was more entertaining.

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.

Updated graphics, I think not!

I was very disappointed when I received this yesterday. The graphics where horrible and the picture was very dark! My daughter lost intrest in the first 2 minutes of the game. I would not recommend this for anyone!

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.

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.

okay game
