90Gauntlet attempts to exercise the PS2s graphical muscles, but because of the locked overhead-camera angle, theres only so much detail and special effects to see amidst the tiny characters scurrying about.
-
For what it is, a fast hack n slash, GDL is a great game. If youre looking for an action RPG, this aint it.
-
85If you spent much time in the 80's pumping quarters into Gauntlet, you're going to enjoy this console version with almost as much zeal. If you've never played Gauntlet (blasphemy!), you owe it to yourself to pick this title up and give it a whirl.
-
80Like every Gauntlet game, the multi-player action that will keep you coming back for more. Gauntlet is in effect, the party game.
-
80This is hack n slash how it should be. Furious four player action that lets users bang away for hours on hordes of uniquely designed monsters.
-
80Theres plenty of options to keep you from getting bored, but to unlock you must play, and if youre one of those casual gamers who are easily put off by repetitive gameplay then this is not for you.
-
79With graphics that update the original and show that the PS2 can run an arcade perfect translation, and that same old godlike Gauntlet voice, this title can be fun for a long time.
-
75In the end, though, the playing experience offers more than enough good, clean fun to offset its weak points.
-
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.
-
67What makes it fun in the arcades just can't quite carry over.
-
62If you have a group of bored, bloodthirsty friends visiting, having Dark Legacy around would definitely be an asset.
-
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.
-
60The 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.
-
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.

10One of the best multiplayer games ever made. Also, even if you play the game by yourself, you won't get bored from it either.
