Advantages: If you love the old game, you'll love this game!

Disadvantages: If you don't - you won't!

Does the name ring a bell? Played this in the Arcade’s have you? Well now is you chance to take a little bit of the arcade game with you!
When you talk about perfect arcade conversions, you may as well be talking about Sega, because I think no-one does it better! This is another fine example both of the ability of Sega to produce a perfect console conversion, and also demonstrate just how good the Dreamcast really is. Not only have they taken everything that the Arcade version had to offer, but also added a whole lot more just for us lucky Dreamcast owners – similar in they way then added to Crazy taxi! I think Sega now puts the gamers first, and the quality of games available for the Dreamcast at the moment sure do reflect this by demonstrating what a wonderful game they have produced yet again.
This plays exactly the same as the classic Gauntlet, only now it is in true 3D, and I feel it works very well, making this a massively entertaining and very fun game to play.
Some people did not like the original version of this game, although they were, I feel, in the minority, and as this is so close in terms of game play (basically, just kill everything that moves sums up this game pretty well) then they may not like this either. However, I would urge anyone thinking about disregarding this game for that reason to give it a chance, and possibly rent before you buy, to see if you like it.
If you played the original Gauntlet and loved that (lets face it – who didn’t?) then you will appreciate this super game as much as I did!
