I counted more than seven sorrows in this disappointing title.

User Rating: 4 | Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows PS2
By Habast | Review Date:
Being a fan of the older Dark Legacy, I decided to give Seven Sorrows a try. I really wish I hadn't.

First things first, there are only a few characters to choose from, as opposed to Dark Legacy's beefy cast. And they don't change gameplay much from character to character.

Next, the game just felt... dry. I can't really explain it, it just wasn't fun at all. Me and my brother and my friend (all being fans of Dark Legacy) gave it a try, and didn't make it past the third level. Not because it was difficult (it was actually mindlessly easy), but because it was so relentlessly disappointing.

Needless to say, I traded it in for a refund. :)

So, let's recap.

The Good
*Co-op multiplayer

The Bad
*Not fun at all

The Just Plain Ugly
*Pitiful selection of characters
*The bitter disappointment it was

Graphics: 6
Gameplay: 3.5
Sound: 6
Story: 3
Multiplayer: 4
Replayability: -5 (1)
Overall: If you liked Legends or Dark Legacy, just don't bother. If you didn't, just don't bother. (3.9)

    It seems that there are those out there who "hate" this release of Gauntlet. Maybe from their perspective it is not what they were expecting. I (and my family) do not try to form pre-conceived notions of any game until... Read Full Review
