    Not challening at all. Defeated this game in 7 days and I am 8 yearls old. I loved the old game dark legacy.

    Considering how incredible Dark Legacy was, this plays like a bedroom fanboy's home-made 'tribute'. Such potential with some reinvention of the formula but ultimately a lifeless romp which is far too easy. I'm hardly an expert gameplayer but as a comparison, I took about 3 weeks to complete Dark Legacy. Seven Sorrows took less than 4 hours.

    This game was absolutely terrible. I spent $50 on it and was sickened by my loss of money. On top of that, when I beat it after 3 hours, my reward was an extra. The extra was a lame preview of L.A. Rush. Like they were trying to sell me another game through this one. Blah!!!!

    I liked the Dark Legacy. The goals of runing stones and others. This one doesn´t have many goals and is short and easy. Just for kids.

    Short, simple, easy and NOT a Gauntlet game by any means. With lackluster combat and level design this game falls so short of any hopes of being entertaining. Online play is a joke because well there is no one playing online. I found one person who was playing and we killed maybe 10 enemies before either he got disconnected or he just logged off and this was a week after the game came out.Short, simple, easy and NOT a Gauntlet game by any means.

Just save yourself the money and wasted time and skip this one.… Expand

    Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest.

    More of a tech demo than a solid game. The engine is pretty and the characters look great, but it's sorely lacking in the gameplay department.

    It keeps the classic feel, but has enough new gameplay to make it solid. And it's the first real console-based Gauntlet game ever, which adds a new element to the 4 player co-op play that was a cornerstone of the series.
