 Waste of money January 12, 2006

Like the other reviewers, I was also very excited to get this game. As a big fan of the Dark Legacy game, I am sorely disappointed in Midway for developing such a sorry game that resembles nothing of the "arcade" feel of the past Gauntlets. Definitely no replay value so a complete waste of money.
Huge Disappointment from a vetern Gauntlet Junkie December 16, 2005

Folks,
Let me begin by saying I waited for this game for a looong time. I was hoping it was going to be a great improvement on the others, which I love btw. I believed the hype. Read all the previews and couldn't be more excited once it was released on the 15th. That's where it ends.
First, let me talk about the graphics. They are solid. Much more intriguing and compelling than the other games, which I thought were decent to begin with. I have a HDTV and the 480i this game comes in is nice. I'm beginning to hate the cool graphics part of all these games though. It seems like all these programmers worry about shadows and lighting that they forego the essense of these games...the GAMEPLAY! Seeing my shadow reflection in a pool of water is cool for the first 2 seconds...if I notice it. If that makes my overall gameplay suffer or the game is cut short because of that, FORGET IT. These programmers need to know that.
Also, the game play is way too linear...more so than the previous Gauntlets. It's boring. You can't explore like other Guantlet games. There's no secret doors or hidden anythings! No secret levels to gain coins and unlock other characters. Food mostly appears randomly when you kill monsters. Keep killing and more food appears. Where's the adventure? B.O.R.I.N.G.
Yes, the graphics are good but the game play suffers tremendously. For example, when you destroy one of the generators, which is consistent with past Gauntlets, you move on. Frequently, as I've moved on in this version, monsters have reappeared from places that I've already destroyed. When I go back to re-examine the area, the game is just randomly creating them. It's confusion....I thought I cleaned up one area but the computer decides that it will randomly re-create more monsters with no generator!!! What is that all about??? Poor execution.
I liked the old version with 5-way shots, speed bursts, potions, etc... This has none of that. Instead you collect gold and get to "buy" special feats. Each of the four characters have about 20 to choose from. Here's the worst part of that...each one is triggered by some specific button punching. So if I want to execute the "Rain Shower" (I forgot the actual name of it), I have to hit X, then A,Y,A,Y. who has time? The old game made it simple. Throw a potion, shoot 5 ways and be done with it. Don't even get me started with how bad the tips of your fingers will ache (I don't care how young you are! It happens!). I had to pause several times a level with all the unnecessary pounding.
Folks, this is a decent game that severely let me down. I waited a long time for it, hoping that improvements were made and the game play was better. The only thing they delivered was better graphics. Big deal. If you're like me, i'll sacrifice jaw-dropping graphics for better gameplay experience. That is far from what you'll get. You'll scratch your head at some of the ridiculous bugs still in it, your fingers will require time off from all the unnecessary button pushing and the short game play will just keep you wondering why did I just pay $50 for this game!
Rent it. Finish it. Save your money.

This is the worse gauntlet ever, they raped the things that made gauntlet so good, Game is short and Story Sucks. This is A Value Bin Title For Sure. Game Over.
Problems in production = Problems in game December 22, 2005

I am too disgusted with this game. I cannot believe that they would even call this Gauntlet. I am still in shock, and actually quit playing the game for fear of further disappointment. Warning to all. Go rent. Do not buy unless you have 50 bucks to waste.
disappointing sequel December 24, 2005

This game is a pathetic sequel to the original that was a lot of fun. There is nothing exciting about this and after the first couple levels there is nothing new to buy with all the gold you get. Zero replay; in fact you're bored silly at the first go around. The graphics do not make up for the poor play-ability. The cost of this "old" technology is outrageous!
