The game is still fun, and still retains the exploratory element that made the first game so addictive.

An enjoyable home adaptation of the Arcade Gauntlet that just doesn't match the original...The single-player runs thin.

Extremely fun, the best game in the series either multiplayer or single player, enjoyable story and amazing music.

It's nothing revolutionary or eye-popping, but I can't deny how satisfyingly fun it is. [Apr 2002, p.148]

Just don't expect to get too much fulfillment from the single-player game unless you've recently been lobotomized.

Extremely dated appearance and poor performance.

Yeah, the game is really long, but is there any variety or challenge? Not really. And, if you're not sick of playing by the end of just a couple of these annoyingly long levels, I admire your patience.

If Gauntlet were a used car, It'd be a '72 Pinto with 400,000 miles on it. [May 2002, p.58]

This game is great. The "pros" are wrong in their rating. One of the few games I still play through from this console era.
