Gaunle Legends for Dreamcast

Pros: Fun. Funny.
Cons: Questionable renderings on baddies.

"At the peak of arcade activity, I fondly recall days of lining my quarters on the Gauntlet machine, grabbing the familiar yellow controller and firing up my dwarf."

Gauntlet was an immediate hit, where four people could team...

Pros: 4 Player
Cons: Not playable with more than 2 people

I have for a long time been a big fan of multiplayer action/adventure games and RPG’s. When a game comes along with a combination of those attributes, I usually jump at the chance to play it. I spent $150 on Secret of Mana and a Multitap and Controller...

Pros: Great multiplayer action, especially for us old folks
Cons: Too easy to figure out making the game a hack and slash lacking challenge

Hordes of darkness are pouring forth through the gates of the underworld. Who will step up and save us from the minions of the lord of the underworld. Will it be you?

With all the games on the market this is my first game review and it only...

Pros: old school hack 'n slash; great multiplayer
Cons: whacking so many bad guys does get boring after a while

This is one game I hated playing in the arcades. No matter how hard I tried, it didn't seem like there was any way of getting good at it. I may be wrong about this, because I never spent more than 30 minutes trying to beat the computer in any arcade...

Pros: Can be entertaining for a little while
Cons: Very boring after that little while, many other games do the same thing much better

I picked up this game when I was renting a batch of games for a gaming party I was having that night. As you can imagine, at gaming parties you always want to go with games that support at least two people, and as I had heard good things about this...

Pros: Brilliant Graphics, No Slow Down, Great Multi-player support
Cons: The sound and camera views could have used a little work

The reason that I decided to purchase this game is the simple fact that I had played the Nintendo version of Gauntlet and loved it. I thought that since I really enjoyed the older version of this game I might enjoy this version as well. Well, not only...

Pros: Great multi-player fun!
Cons: Some frustrating trigger searches

Gauntlet was one of the first arcade games to allow up to four people to play at once. With four sets of controllers, up to four friends could crawl through the dungeon, and scream at the player who just shot and destroyed the much-needed food....

Pros: None
Cons: Boring. Graphics made me feel visually impaired, poor documentation.

There are two very good reasons NOT to buy or rent this game:

1. The screen fonts are too small to read on even the clearest television set. My 20" RCA has a phenomenal picture and I can't read much of the text. Period. From a distance or...

Pros: Graphics, new levels and characters
Cons: Solo mode stinks and more levels couldn't hurt

I remember playing the old school version of Gauntlet both on the arcade and my 8-bit nes, I remembered the complex puzzles and swarms of enemies that I went through, and i found the game to be one of a kind since it was the first to feature 4 players on...

Pros: Good Buy, excellent all around
Cons: Enemies a bit weak

Gauntlet Legends, by far, is one of the MUST buy games for the Dreamcast. There is no game better for a party with four people or a little fun by yourself. Gauntlet Legends is a go-at-your-own pace action-adventure games. It involves strategy, mind...

Pros: Still the same 'ol hacking in slashing in 3d
Cons: Nowhere as good as the arcade version

The average review for this game has been split. People either think it's one of the best games to come out for the Dreamcast, or at least highly recommended, or think its utter garbage. After going out and trying Gauntlet Legends, I'm split in how to...

Pros: gameplay, visuals, multiplayer
Cons: small fonts and lack of strong soundtrack

Gauntlet Legends is the reason I was sucked into buying a Dreamcast. To sum up the game in a sentence, I'd have to tell you that it just doesn't get much better than this. From all the angles, Midway has done a great job in getting a quality title to...

Pros: Addictive gameplay, multiplayer support, new additions
Cons: Butchered the game I came to love on the N64 version

There are very few role-play games on consoles that give a multiplayer experience. Midways attempt to port the hit Gauntlet Legends from the arcade to various platforms have been somewhat of a mediocre effort. With the PlayStation version...

Pros: Great gameplay, fun and exciting, good replayability
Cons: Sound mediocre...NEED MORE WORLDS!!!!

Gauntlet was the name, and the Commodore 64C bought the game, for me anyway. Time warp back to the mid to late Eighties; Boris Becker wins Wimbledon at the age of 17, the Nintendo game system is all the rage, and Gauntlet (and the numerous Deeper and...

Pros: An average port to an exceptional game
Cons: Graphics and Frame Rate not as good as the original

Honestly, when I bought this game, I was expecting to be astounded by a perfect conversion of one of my most favorite arcade games. You would think that given the power of the Dreamcast, Gauntlet Legends could end up being an amazing game for the...
