The minimalist twist to Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows may turn of those gamers looking for depth, but the game really does pull you in with some great visuals and slick combo moves.

Seven Sorrows is best played with 4 players which helps retain some semblance of the intended Gauntlet experience.

Watching these heroes pirouette amidst the violence is surprisingly entertaining, and while Seven Sorrows doesn't deliver fully on the promise and longevity of its progenitor, it does provide a fleeting good time.

Enjoyably frantic, brief and basic. Gauntlet is showing its age but still offers a decent few hours of mindless maiming. [Mar 2006, p.94]

While mind-numbingly boring in single-player, the game does inch closer to being fun when other players pick up a controller.

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows’ biggest issue, however, is its short length. Each of the game’s 16 levels can be completed within 10 minutes--10 extremely repetitive minutes--and there is no incentive to revisit past stages due to the lack of hidden features or bonuses.

At least in terms of being faithful to the source material, it retains a similar level of simplicity, except that in 2006 that just isn't enough.

Super monotonous game, it's even amazing to see Midway's game without graphic violence.. This game at least had to have blood and the bodies didn't disappear there it improved a little, I still give it 5 because it has Co-op

Short, simple, easy and NOT a Gauntlet game by any means. With lackluster combat and level design this game falls so short of any hopes of being entertaining. Online play is a joke because well there is no one playing online. I found one person who was playing and we killed maybe 10 enemies before either he got disconnected or he just logged off and this was a week after the game came out. Just save yourself the money and wasted time and skip this one.
