    It’s wicked bloody fun with a group even with the slight detractors.

    A short but enjoyable hack and slash romp that is even more enjoyable when played with friends.

    A great game for gamers looking for simple action, a good mix of enemies, and steady progression through the game.

    If you don’t mind gathering up three friends, and you don’t mind leaving your brains at the door, you’ll be in store for a decent multiplayer hack and slash. The lack of replay value other than for multiplayer and the uninteresting single player make this game only for those who love all that is Gauntlet-styled.

    The game’s endless top-down horde-shooting and limb-hacking is an absolute blast with four people (the five characters complement each other well), but the friendless may find Hunting and Reckoning to be a lonely, repetitious profession.

    In the process of porting it, visual and sound quality has taken a dive, which is very disappointing. Of course all the four-player madness is still great fun.

    The bosses are cool and Hunter has an expectedly grimy, dark edge, but it looked and felt better on Xbox. [Jan 2003, p.81]

    Great game, hours of gameplay, and quite a challenge at that...even harder on multi-player.
