Players battle through dangerous realms using exotic magical powers and weapons to vanquish hideous creatures, search for treasure, evade traps and embark on legendary quests. Review While it's hard to see why some four-player games are worth the trouble, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy will have gamers begging for their multi-tap and three extra Dual Shock controllers. It's a port of the coin-op of the same name that hit arcades in spring 2000. Much of the setting, action, and controls have survived the translation; the difference here is that there's just more of a good thing. You play as one of eight characters--four from Gauntlet Legends, plus a sorceress, knight, dwarf, and jester. Dark Legacy also features a larger selection of threads for each fighter. Once your character is suitably attired, the game becomes a stab-and-jab fest. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy features the four realms from Gauntlet Legends, plus four new ones and a fantastic new battlefield section. As in Gauntlet Legends, the single player game is good, but it's the multiplayer mayhem that attracts people to the Gauntlet games. -- Todd Mowatt
