  1. An arcade RPG clone of "Gauntlet Dark Legacy."
  2. Only two kinds of gamers would appreciate this title: beginners and those looking for an easy hack-and-slash party game.
  3. BS is no gem, mind you, but it is strangely addicting, as these games tend to be when the mood strikes. [June 2003, p.57]

    A good-looking but brain-dead, thumb-numbing game.

    This game reminds me of a cheap whore. It's fun for a while but when it's over, you're left with a rash and a headache.

    I can't believe I paid full price for this game! I am so starved for a GOOD RPG for the Xbox I heard that is was a roleplaying game (loosely). The controld are set up okay, but the movement to the game is very blocky. The controls are slow and unresponsive when trying to attack quickly. And I am not at all fond of some of the camera view while fighting. This was just a very poor attempt at a Guantlet Legacy clone. I think this compnay should rethink it's staff for making a game like this. But worst of all shame on me for buying this garbage. Collapse
