    If you're a fan of the series or just looking for a great multiplayer seek and destroy mission, Gauntlet will provide thrills in spades.

    Perfectly suited to the multiplayer environment of a college dorm room.

    What makes it fun in the arcades just can't quite carry over.

    If you have a group of bored, bloodthirsty friends visiting, having Dark Legacy around would definitely be an asset.

    The linear gameplay may bore some and there are moments in the game that are confusing and seemingly impossible without starting the level again and retracing your steps.

    Ultimately, as a game Gauntlet: Dark Legacy misses the point somewhat and will disappoint both fans of the original and newcomers alike. Consequently this is best left avoided by all but the least demanding of gamers.

    Dark Legacy has more than enough items, upgradeability and weird creatures to keep your attention for more than a rental, but only if you have a few friends to play it with.

    One of the best multiplayer games ever made. Also, even if you play the game by yourself, you won't get bored from it either.

My friends would come over to my house back in the day just to play this game and its addicting nature along with my brother. The memories of playing this were great, and we had so many humorous moments. I recently bought the game for nostalgia, and I had so much fun by myself as well. It may be old, but it still kicks butt in the fun factor… Full Review »
