Video Game Reviews of Gauntlet Seven Sorrows

Customer Review: Great night's romp
Summary: 4 Stars

I've been a fan of the Gauntlet series since 1986, so when I saw there was a new one I snatched it up. Seven Sorrows is really only Gauntlet in name, it only vaguely plays like previous games in the series, however in spite of that I found it very enjoyable.

Many people have complained that the game was too short, but for me personally this is exactly what I wanted. I occasionally have a few hours to spare on a weekend when I have a few friends over, and it's great to be able to play a game through and finish it before the night is done. We occasionally break out old NES games like Contra or Lifeforce for just that reason, it's refreshing to find that not all modern games require a huge time investment.

After playing through the game on the easier difficulties we tried on the harder ones, and had just as much fun each time. We have yet to beat the game on the Impossible difficulty level because we run out of time!

My only complaint is that I found that certain skills just work better than others. The way to be effective is to stick to the skills that work and avoid the ones that don't, and it would be nice if all of your skills were more useful.

Overall I really liked it. If you want a long in-depth RPG you'll want to look elsewhere, but if you're a casual old-school gamer like myself who only plays a few hours a week and still wants to beat a game, this is perfect.
