Its an rpg to be played with friends obviously but i find it hard to find 3 others that are willing to play this weakRPG
Controls= Very simple and acceptable however any true gamer would want a bit more out of this game with its only 5 combat controls. NOTE= On the ps2 the only controls used are square, triangle, circle, x, and L1 in combat which is pretty lame. NOTE= it sounds like enough but what they do is seriously not much.
characters= Sadly the characters are actually all very much alike! the only differances they have are these= 1. weapon held 2. appearance 3. turbo move when charged. Other than these 3 main differances they dont have much of their own selves put inside them other than personality and what they say in the actual game which is very little.
world/ levels= some of the levels are amazing and others just totaly acceptable with very nice scenery and bosses that match the realms this is a factor you cant complain about when it comes to reviewing this game.
everything else to be said= well i want to end it by saying a few more stuff that is off topic to deep opinion in the game itself but still review related. 1. some special items are seriously too well hidden in the game and always require you to go back and forth which can get VERY annoying such as the weapons you can drain some of the life from bosses away with which arent very useful or worth getting. 2. while playing this game i tried to get all the characters but if i could not get a certain one i did not care much since they are pretty much all the same like i said earlier so this can get you concentrated on only one character really and no reason to beat the game more than one time in my opinion.
conclusion= gauntlet dark legacy is seriously kind of a failure cause it lacks giving the game more a taste of itself and could definetly use a lot more detail in it like the characters and how they are all alike which gives no reason to care about changing once you pick one. i enjoyed beating the game but thought a lot more could be put into it. i can definetly say this game was just a slap down to the blue prints and just be creative with project.
a word to others= its gonna be fun but dont count on it to give you all you want cause chances are high of it not doing so.
