Gauntlet 2
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 1 out of 10
Gameplay: 6 out of 10
Hardness factor: 8 out of 10
Overall: 6 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics aren't anything spectacular. Most things are basic
and look blocky or like blobs. There are a few cool looking enemies, but
most of the time the graphics just aren't up to par with today's standards.
Sound: There were almost no music or sound effects in this game.
Gameplay: This is an addicting little game where you play as one of four
characters (valkeryie, warrior, wizard, and elf) in an overhead view and
must find keys in order to open up the door at the end of the level. Sound
easy? Throw in that you have a certain amount of life to beat the game
with (and that life goes down every second or so), enemies that can't die,
warps, and a billion other things. It's fun, but this isn't a really good port
of the game and doesn't do it any justice. Also, each character has different
'stats' like the warrior is stronger, while the wizard can attack more often.
Hardness factor: This game is very tough. So tough, in fact, you might
want to buy a Gameshark before playing this game.
Overall: 6 out of 10. While this is a really fun game, it just isn't the same
on the Gameboy. If you enjoyed playing the arcade version and really want
this game, be forewarned that this game is very hard.
