Gauntlet Legends for PlayStation 1

Pros: You get completly numb in brain and thumbs
Cons: The 3d action game elements

A few months ago, I wrote an advice column about how action games are getting worse because of bad controls, too many puzzles and too few enemies. I wrote that a good action game is basically brainless. Gauntlet Legends is a game that has those old 2d...

Pros: Fast arcade style gaming
Cons: Not that great of a single player game

If you are wondering this is an opinion on Gauntlet Legends, not Jackie Chans Stuntmaster, I've never actually played that. I'm not sure as to why the category thingy says Gauntlet Legends then shows the picture for stuntmaster, oh well. Enough...

Pros: the CG and some customization is available
Cons: everything else

For a videogame system to last for so many years, it’s amazing that games are still being made for the system. For all the greatest hits for the system, there is the black sheep in the family. Guantlet Legends is one of them. Borrowing a copy from a...

Pros: Nice setup for a finale-good game play
Cons: Poor audio, lack of detailed graphics, and sometimes confusing sequencing

I personally loved the arcade version of Gauntlet Legends. You could have 4 or 5 people playing at one time, but to compensate for that, there was about twice as many grunts attacking you. I got totally hyped up about the arcade version, and since it...

Pros: Great graphics,sound, play,
Cons: Lacks change, after playing for a while you know what to expect.

I have rented this game numerous times and play it in the arcades all the time. This is one of the greatest adventure multiplayer games I have played. There are a few characters that you start with and then you can start getting secret characters by...

Pros: Its classic Gauntlet gameplay that you can take home with you!
Cons: Every other version of this game is superior in every way.

Gauntlet Legends is available for for Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and Playstation 1, as well as in arcade cabinet form. The Playstation 1 version is the worst of the 3 home versions. But if you really want to play this game, and you have no interest in ...

Pros: A good continuation of the Gauntlet video game series
Cons: Graphics and game play are a bit harsher than the N64 version

To begin with, I must say that I am a big fan of all the Gauntlet games. I remember playing the original coin operated version back in the '80's - that's when I got hooked on it. I then bought a version of Gauntlet for my old 8086 IBM compatible...

Pros: It didn't take long to complete.
Cons: Too many technical problems. Comes off as an unfinished product.

Better to have delayed it again instead of releasing it for the PlayStation.

I had preordered the game months in advance because I loved it at the arcade and I'm a fan of Gauntlet I & II. It was difficult to watch its release date move...

Pros: Simple play control, decent sound and graphics.
Cons: Very repeditive and the camera angle makes gameplay difficult.

Gauntlent Legends is an update of Atari Games 1984 arcade classic with some new elements, but at it's core, it's still Gauntlet.

I never really enjoyed the orignal Gauntlet that much, because of the barrage of enemies that keeps attacking you,...

Pros: Lots of action.
Cons: Everything else.

It's an obvious pun, but what's less obvious is why Midway decided to release this sad translation of a pretty fair arcade game.


Gauntlet: Legends is a story of a few Tolkienoid fantasy types (an archer, a warrior/barbarian, a valkyrie,...

Pros: great sound, levels, and ease of play
Cons: end guys too easy

Were you a fan of the Gauntlet arcade game? If so...this is the game for you. This game has several positives which struck me. First I loved the sound. This game had one of the best soundtracks I've heard...and I've heard a lot. This game was also...

Pros: Strength gain, good story, team multiplayer
Cons: Bad graphics, Sluggish controls

Midway has taken an arcade hit and tuned it into a playstation dud. Nothing like its predecessor this version of gauntlet legends is incredibly boring. the graphics are pretty bad the controls don't feel right and the fact that you have to pass one level...

Pros: 4 Player Quest
Cons: It ain't fun!

There isnt a lot to say about Gauntlet Legends, the graphics are sub-par, control needs some getting used too, and the fun factor? Well lets just say it is'nt an amusing game. It would seem to be fun to walk around with multiple characters killing bad...

Pros: fun at first
Cons: too easy, repetitive

When you play this game in the arcade....it is like...wow. The Playstation version is pretty decent, but not amazing as expected. This is the type of game that I love to play. But I think that it is too easy. The game gets pretty repetitive. The...

Pros: old charecters
Cons: 4 levles
