I have no idea why i spent money on this piece of junk, it is the dumbest game ever. you just walk around, you hardly die, it's not even remotely challenging! How could this company even survive? Pacman was much more amusing than this. I mean seriously, the levels near the end of the game are like 30min long. it gets so annoying at the end, i duno why you'd even bother wasting your time getting out of the CD case. Spend your money somewhere else!! This is no where near an investment!!

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!!!!!!!!!

This game is only fun if you have a friend playing with you. The graphics [are not great] in this game. They aren't in 3D and the idea of them having infinet axes, swords, arrows, knifes, magic, and bombs is stupid. It should be more up close fighting unless you are an archer and even then you shouldn't have unlimited arrows. The game should be more like Enclave or Zelda and you have to find or buy the stuff. You also shouldn't be able to buy stats, they should just increase as you get a higher level. You should also be able to have more than one type of weapon

Pros: multi player, a lot of guys

Cons: graphics, concept, weapons, plot

All is good except weapon

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 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.

EXTREMELY BORING

Well this game was pretty basic... a bunch of freinds all get to gather to kick evils butt. sounds fun right...WRONG. in this game all you do is toss projectiles at what ever comes your way. the only thing i enjoyed was the boss battles. hahaha all four players would be slaughtered! any way i dont reccomend this game.

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.

I love Gauntlet , but...

I love Gauntlet, but I have some minor gripes. First, the graphics aren't that much better than the N64 version. I expected alittle more from the powerful and mighty XBOX. Second, some of the levels are taken from the N64 game. Keys, barrels, and runestones are in the same spot!!! ( Note: Of course there are far more levels and characters than N64, but re-hashing old levels. Pleeessse. Bottom line: If you're new to gautlet, give it a try. It's simple, fun and a good multiplayer.
If you're a Gauntlet veteran, enjoy the game- just don't expect to be blown away.
Would I buy it again? Yes.

At least the game is fun...

I have a few complaints about this game. First off, let me say that I had a lot of fun playing it with three of my friends. It's definitely a good party game. But here's where I was let down. I owned this game for the dreamcast, and as far as I can see it's just a port of the Dreamcast game, and a bad one at that. The graphics are not very good (definitely not 32-bit color), the sound effects are not very good, and there were even some errors in the game if you played it long enough (specifically I remember that certain textures would be drawn incorrectly, and there would be lighter colors around the enemies. I fixed it by rebooting the Xbox. Another example is how the announcer would proclaim that "Blue Warrior has stopped time" when he really meant "Blue Warrior picked up a stop time and it is in his inventory. You see what I'm saying.) For my friends that never played the first version, it was a great game because the idea was new. But for me I was just very disappointed in the poor port of a great game. If anyone is planning on buying this one, I'd recommend renting it first. If you really enjoy it, then you might want to buy it like my friends did, but otherwise I would wait 'till Midway actually spends the time to make a real version for the Xbox.
