Gaming Gauntlet: Dark Legacy

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]I've been thinking about buying this game for awhile now... I have Gauntlet Legends for the Nintendo 64, and I've played it a [i]lot[/i]. Is Gauntlet: Dark Legacy worth buying, if you've already played Gauntlet Legends to death? I know that there's a bunch of new levels, but are they very different from the ones in Gauntlet Legends?

If Dark Legacy isn't too similar to Gauntlet Legends, I'll probably buy it. I really enjoyed Gauntlet Legends, so I'll probably enjoy Dark Legacy, too. I'd like some info on it before I buy it, though. Thanks![/color]

[size=1] Well I have played both Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Legends: Dark Legacy.(Arcade Version) GL:DL is very different from GL, it has new characters, levels, enemies, traps, power, and magic. I would definately recommend buying it if you like Gauntlet Legends. [/size]

Thanks for the information. I liked the game for the N 64, and was planning on buying it for the GCN. Thats probably the next game I'm gonna get now.
:cool:

From what I have seen there is not much difference in the 2 games. I played Gauntlet Legends on the 64 (till i maxed out my stats) and played a demo of it on the Ps2. I culd not notice any difference in the two (other then that it was a on a playstation). There were better graphics on the ps2 one (duh), and the different levels. But other than that I don't see any thing that would draw me to it. The levels might be new, but it is still the same thing as the old 64 version just different paths. And so I think that if you have playedthe 64 version and mastered that then you shold just start you game over and could get the szme effect of buying this.

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]Ok, so one of my online friends convinced me to buy this (actually, she really didn't have to try to hard. . but she did), so I went out today and got it. While playing around, I noticed they really didn't do anything special with the graphics, and the game seems somewhat slow on the system.

I only played a 2 player game, and me and my friend didn't get too far into the game, but I have to say, that this is somewhat like the other games that you all have mentioned. I honestly didn't bother to read the instructions, but I got a hang of the controllers really easy.

If you are looking for a deep game, honestly, look else where. This is your classic hack-and-slash game (I think Guantlet spawned that phrase?). Nothing to do in this game but kill, kill, mutilate, and kill some more. If you are new to the Guantlet series, which I am sure no one is, buy it. If you are a great fan of the game, or are simply looking for a fun game, or even just another game for the GAMECUBE, go ahead and get this game. But if you are looking for CG scenes, or even a deep evolving story line, ummm. . get Resident Evil when that comes out, cause there is almost no thought process needed when it comes to this game. ^_^ [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=indigo]That's what I liked about Gauntlet Legends, LOL. I'd get together a group of friends and play four-player, and it'd turn into one big argument about who should get this treasure, or this item, or whatever... And then we'd eat lots of sugar and watch a movie, and then play some more. It was great, LOL. :twitch:

But yeah, I know it's not a very involving game. That's what I like about the Gauntlet series, actually. If I want an involving story, I'll play an RPG, like Final Fantasy IX (which I still need to beat).
It's kind of funny to think about, actually... I would sit and play Gauntlet Legends for hours at a time, and never get bored. I've sat and played Rampage (a couple different games in the series, including the old original for the NES/arcade) for hours, without getting bored... I think I can turn my brain off when I'm playing games like that, LOL... :cross: I'm having fun, while not actually thinking at all. I've come to love games that can do that. :cross:

I think I will buy it... Something to help tide me over until Star Fox Adventures is released, and a game that I'll probably still be playing long after I beat it. (My character on Gauntlet Legends is level 99, with all stats maxed out, with over 1,000,000 experience points, full on every item, and with a huge amount of gold).[/color]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]LOL, we are horrific playing this game too. My friend Steve (Red Warrior) Is the main tank, he has to be first to kill EVERYTHING, even though we sit back, and let him take the damage, while killing more then he does ^_^ I am awful at stealing all the treasure, keys, and magic, and the other two guys I am playing with - Erick and Dustin - are both just go-with-the-flow types. . . wusses =P [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1] I know. . we go zombie mode with multi-player games. . there are about 10 different guys, where all we do is sit around, and waste the night away playing Super Smash Brothers: Melee or Guantlet: DL or Sega Soccer Slam, or even Bond. . ahhh, the fun =) Before we know it, BAM 2am in the morning. . time to go ^_^[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]Ya, this is definitely a great hold over game. Right about the time you have everything beat, another game is out to hold you over ^_^ Gotta love it. (oh, and my main characters in Guantlet: Legends was a 99 Valkyrie - blue - max, EVERYTHING, and a 99 Warrior - red - with max EVERYTHING. . me and my bro just wasted the game. . it was WAY funny how easy it was when you camped a big boss for 40 levels straight ^_^ ROFL [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=indigo]This's kind of old, for the kind of topic that it is... I'd made up my mind about whether or not to buy it quite awhile ago... So, I don't really need any more oppinions about it. That, and I was looking for information about it, not just a "is it good or bad?" answer. (I decided not to buy it after all, because I'm going to need the money for Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Star Fox, by the way. I'd still like to buy it if I ever get enough money, though).

But anyway, for threads like this, if they're kind of old, we don't really need more replies. Because, like I said, the person that posted it has [i]probably[/i] already made up their mind whether to get the game in question or not.
