when i first got this game i thought it was going to be boring because i was just running around the tower looking for places to go ....but then i started actually fighting and the gameplay is addictive! It is even better with 2 or 3 players because you can use these cool special attack 2 player combos. THere are many different thingsd to fight like 3 types of gargoyles, zombies, worms, scorpions, rats, green things, and golems. The only bad thing about this game is that the graphics look like n64 but i don't care because the cut scenes are good and graphics have never been a huge thing with me because i jumped right from super nes to xbox. i gotta tell you this game is great! if you want a long, hard game that is fun for multiplayer GET THIS GAME!

This game blows

I guess I'm just used to being able to look where I want to look, whether it's ahead of me, behind me, or to the side. None of that here, though. You'll look where they make you look and you'll like it, mister! After having played every other game that gives you pretty much complete control of your character, that part really annoyed me. While this is true of the original Gauntlet, I expected more from the Xbox because, well, because more can be done. Of course, I rented the game and there were no directions in it, but after playing it for a few hours and figuring out I'm sure almost all of it, I found it not worthy of purchase. It did have some cool parts, but I would heartily recommend renting this game first before buying it to make sure you like it. That's sound advice for any game, but especially this one.

Amusing but very simplistic and repetitive

It's an okay game but is very watered down and simplistic. It will quickly bore anyone with much intelligence or above the age of 13. It's a lot like D&D heroes in that sense.

Add to this that the people online are all price gouging right now when you can buy the same game used in real used game stores for $8.00 as of the end of January. I saw a store with 20 copies of them at the $8 price and they say they have just as many at their four other branches. I bought one for my nephew who is 4.

THIS GAME RULES!...

at first, i played it at my friends house and its amazing how many different characters you can be. You can be a wizard, barberian, knight, archer, and many more! This game is only rated teen cause of people killing monsters with swords. There is no blood or gore. I recommend this game for kids 10-any age.

Awesome Game!

I would have added more stars if the game allowed you to buy weapons and actually be able to keep it and use it more than a 30 seconds. Weapons and magics disapears after a quick 30 - 60 seconds. You gain a new look after every 10 levels. All attacks are missile attacks, no matter if you are an archer or a knight. This game is sort of easy and not as challanging as it may look in the cover. All the more reason not to judge a game by its cover. Don't get this game unless you know what you are going to get.

This time Midway went the [wrong] way

I am a total hardcore action/adventure/RPG fan, and thats what this falls into. I'll play almost any game, and mostly like it, but this game disappoints]. The graphics are really nasty, seriously, they are really cartoony. The voice acting is soo bad, and there are plenty of glitches in what he says. The storyline is...what is the storyline? You're not an important character at all. The gameplay is the only somewhat good part. It's just really [bad] that you throw your weapon around. You can go into hand to hand too. If you dont have 4 controllers this game is even more stupid. If you are an RPG gamer, or like action/adventure, this game is NOT what you think. If you liked all the gauntlet games, this is for you. But I think this game [DISAPPOINTS]...

Don't get it unless you never played gaunlet before!!!!!!!!!

I tore into Gauntlet for the first time since playing the original (read 8 bit Nintendo). It is great button mashing with friends and unlocking new characters kept me searching when it got a little repetitive. Still, when it ended and I had all these cool characters ( my favorite is the Ogier), I just found no difference in the upgraded players and the standard, it is too repetitive to defeat more than once. The main bosses look good, but they all fight the same boring way.

Very Addictive, good game

hey well I'll be the first to admit i have never been a big fan of Gauntlet i don't know why i jus never really got into it.....until now. I went to a friends house and they rented it and being bored and lack of knowin what else to do i decided to try it. We started at 2 in da afternoon and didn't finished till bout 7 at nite.....its so addictive. It keeps you guessing and wonderin what your charcter will turn into next each 10 levels you get a new suit of armor and get classed differently by your experiance, you have many charcters to choose from as well as secert charcters like the infamous Medusa, Graphics...well i'll admit they aren't xboxs "cutting edge graphics that puts them over PS2" type but they still pretty good....looks kinda like Diablo 2 graphics, multiplayer can have up to 4 players against the cpu (in MP mode you get certain teamwork abilities you can do like one well jump on the shoulders of a teammate and shield them while the other person whose shoulders he's on can walk around and kill anyone they touch) its a good game and really deserves a chance if you like RPG's

The only Con i see about it is the magic....its looks the same warriors throws axes, wizards throw fireballs, etc... but the all have the same form and shape no real special abilities...(i personally was hoping for Medusa stone gaze as in age of empires but its a no show..

truthfully this is a game that you would wanna play when ya bored, its fun by ya self alot more fun with friends in multiplayer
