Gauntlet 4 Review
Overall - 8.5

Gauntlet 4 is a good game to play.  I have played the first three and I did not seem to like it because it was so hard.  On this game, it is a lot easier and fun since you can play up to 4 players.  I enjoyed it, but not as much as the one on the Nintendo 64 and up.  It is different compared to the Nintendo 64 game.  It has its good interests and bad interests.  I saw this game at my friend's house and he did not seem to have the console working anymore, so I thought of trying it out on here and it was not that bad.

Graphics - 8

The graphics are a lot improved from the previous games.  It was a lot cooler and it was so interesting.  The effects were not that good, but it was something.  When using the potion, it would just flash the screen for a millisecond and that is it.  At least it is something than nothing.

Sound - 7

The sound is good.  Has the music playing and the sound effects were okay.  What surprises me was that the hearing of your character saying something when getting hit.  It would sound like a high toned child being hit or a Japanese girl.  I used the Elf, so it may be different on the other characters.

Addictiveness - 6

I would play this some of the time, but not all the time.  It is an okay game, I would just prefer playing the ones that I grown up with (Gauntlet Legends).

Story - N/A

There was no story in this game, but there should be an explanation about the game or the plot of it.  There are four heroes and you go to a lot of places and try to get to the end and beat someone.

Depth - 6

The game does not have much to offer, but has some good qualities that seemed to be interesting.  For instance, you can choose one of the four heroes and you can play with a friend or friends to work together and beat the game.  Another thing is that you can choose your difficulty and how many continues you want.  It is really helpful in the game.  Not much to say, like I said, but it still is quite fun to play.

Difficulty - 5

The game is not that hard, but the levels are so confusing.  When I got far into the game, some were so messed up and that the enemies can move diagonal through walls.  Another thing that I hated the most is that when you want to open the door and there are enemies on the other side, you would get hit every time you opened an area where enemies are really close to you.  Other than that, the game plays fairly good.

Wrap Things Up...

Gauntlet 4 is not that bad of a game.  I kind of enjoyed it and seeing how different it was from the other games that were made after this one.  I recommend trying this game out if you have not already.  It is pretty good and more fun to play with friends. :)

This port of the arcade original has some extra modes available. Choose again from Thor the Warrior, Thyra the Valkyrie, Merlin the Wizard and Questor the Elf (each with their own advantages/disadvantages) and 1 to 4 players(supports Sega's four-player adapter).

Alongside the standard arcade mode, there are the Quest, Battle and Record modes.
Quest Mode: Defeat the four towers and solve the mystery of the ancient castle; weapons can be bought with collected gold from merchants in the main hub area, where you can also choose which tower to take on next. Experience points are good for increasing your stats.

Battle Mode: Fight your fellows to the death. Maps can include teleporters/monsters/items etc. Avoid exits(or you'll be out of the round).

Record Mode: Arcade mode with some variations such as a password continue, also you can't die - although points will be lost for every 500 health lost.
