Good

Good action adventure game

I heard about this game on Xbox live marketplace and of course anything that has knights or a rennaisance flair to it I just gotta try,so I took the plunge. Essentially the jist of the game is that you are playing a role of one of the four heros set out on a journey to fight your way through a ton of bad guys to of all different types to reach each of the emperor's seven sorrows( advisors to the King or emperor that went bad and betrayed him- the main bosses you have to fight).The game has about 14-15 levels to clear. All in All I enjoyed the game,but thought way it too short. I finished it in one day. Xbox360 and Xbox users can play this one.

Gauntlet: An exercise of finger mashing.

As a fan of the original 80's games I was looking forward to the reimagining of this classic. It was not to be :(.

The game is very short, my 1st run through was about 5-6 hours. Furthermore, extremely simplistic in its game mechanics: button mashing the A and X buttons can get you through the game.

On the positive side, I did enjoy some of the boss battles.

Good

Fun with kids in co-op

I played this with my kids, and we had a blast!

Playing four at a time eliminates fights over who's next, so that is nice as well.

Unfortunately, it is a VERY short game, thus I won't rate it above 'Good'.
