    the graphics reek, but i like this game. hack and slash it is. its fun, especially with friends. get 4, and have a blast! and you can always add to the immense variety by simply switching characters. many of them r different.

    Filled with gold, power-ups, and some really awsome moves. One of the best multi-player games I have ever seen.

    This game is an instant favourite of mine. When i first played it i noticed the same thing most of us would have....... the graphics suck which they do. But once you get into this game, you will be addicted. Me and my friends had a sleep over and we must have been playing this game for at least 8 hours. It is sooooo addictive. Go......BUY IT.....GO GO RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

    This game is great. The "pros" are wrong in their rating. One of the few games I still play through from this console era.

    Exceeds the original arcade version by a mile and then some.

    A complete and pleasant surprise for me. It's not a thinking-man's game, but mindless fun has its appeal. The multiplayer aspect is good, too.

    An enjoyable home adaptation of the Arcade Gauntlet that just doesn't match the original...The single-player runs thin.
