    While the single-player game is fun, the multiplayer cooperative quests are where it really is entertaining.

    While Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is a decent enough game, its main saving grace is the four player co-op play, something of a rarity.

    If you've played this game before, there really is absolutely no reason to play it again. [July 2002, p.80]

    Flawed but solidly fun, deep as a dime, and airy as a zeppelin. [Summer 2002, p.93]

    A dated dud. The game can be a kick for a while in multiplayer, but it’s tendency towards the tedious kills the single-player experience.

    A dated game that has remained unchanged in this latest release.
