    Offers a smooth ramp of power, fast-but-strategic combat, and a real variety of gameplay. Alone, it's cool. With friends, it's a blast.

    Both a souped-up "Gauntlet" and a stripped-down "Dark Alliance"; it's not as pretty as it should be, but the gameplay is rock-solid, and the multiplayer mode is can't-miss entertainment.

    It's a fun title that gives the genre some notable tweaks, and it's certainly recommendable to anyone with an itch for a fast and furious dungeon crawl.

    A tendency to lose track of your player amongst hordes of slathering foes and a constantly changing camera spoils any potential fun ... leaving the whole package somewhat less than we were hoping for. [Dec 2003, p.124]

    If you're into co-op action RPGs such as Dark Alliance, X-Men Legends and Gauntlet Legends than this game is for you. I played this with 2 friends and it is a lot of fun and can actually get challenging at times unlike Gauntlet Seven Sorrows. Maybe not as fun by yourself, but at least worth the rental with some friends. I don't know what games(TM) is talking about, the camera never ever moves unless you tell it to, and is the same system found in any other game like this. Maybe they had a broken controller or sucked at the game.… Expand

    This was the first game that my girlfriend played. She was really getting into her character. I was kind of borred, but was having fun watching her have fun. When you die you have so many seconds to rejoin the game---she got panicky and accidently cloned my character and saved it over hers. Later on that night she was crying in her sleep saying, "Im sorry". I wasn't mad at her I was mad at a very ignorant game design. I wish I had never bought this game. We play Baldur's Gate now and it's OK.… Expand
