Gauntlet Dark Legacy

"A fun game"

Storyline-6/8
- This is the same nice storyline as all the other Gauntlet games. That is fun. This game does not really need a better story. Your friend Summer who is one of the greatest wizards ever is being beat by a evil wizard. You must get his power back by defeating the evil wizard. To do this fun thing you have to collect all of the runestones. That is the main parts of it. Very fun. I also think that this is some good work. I would also say it is nice. This storyline adds to the overall fun level of this fun game. It could be more fun though.

Graphics-20/40
Yes the movies are really great and excellent. The people look very nice and that is good. The monsters look very nice. All the levels have a large difference of monsters and those large difference of monsters is helpful to making this game a good game. The amount of monsters is eye-dropping and there is no slowdown no matter how many monsters there are on screen. That number can get up to 50 and still no slowdown. Very fun. There is one problem though and that one problem is not fun. It is when your not in a movie it looks like this is a N64 game. That is not fun. That is not fun at all. 5/10.

Character Design-2/30
Seriously this one is tie with Gauntlet 2 in terms of character design. The characters are all OK but there are a few problems that bring this down from a super score of 10 to about a not fun score of 2. The first of these problems is that Summer is about twice as tall of the of all the characters. Also another problem is the bosses are all about 20 times bigger than the characters. That is not nice. I do not understand why you need a Growth potion just to be all tall of your friend. That is not nice. There are a lot of characters so that is a good thing. There is another not fun thing i have to say and that is they still look like N64 people. Not fun. That is not a little bit fun.This is almost the least fun part of the game.

Soundtrack-9/10
Yes the soundtrack is really good and quite nice. Compared to most RPGS this one was refreshing for a change. But it could not be compared in terms of quality to the other Gauntlets. It was much more good and that is very fun. No more do you have to mute the game and listen to a music tape. This is amazing. The sound matches the other nice parts of the game well. That is nice. Overall this is a fun part of the game and very amazing.This fun part of the game makes the rest of the game more fun and it adds to the overall enjoyment you receive when you play this fun game.

Gameplay-50/50
Well this one is better than Gauntlet 2 in terms of gameplay. Seriously I love it. It is very nice. You get to kill thousands of monsters and because there is killing that makes a mature game. Since mature games are fun then this is fun. What is more fun than killing the foe and smashing the foe. What is fun than kicking the foe and shooting the foe. There is one problem though and that is there are some not good glitches like having you person's arm go though a wall. That is not nice. However this not so fun part of the game will be covered in another section. This fun games gameplay is fun. This contributes to the games overall fun level.

Debugging 1/25
Tons of glitches. Like disappearing items, not able to sell items , super quick turbo. Not bit fun at all. I do not like it. Not fun. How did this pass game testing. Not at all fun. Also if you use cheat codes that give you infinite of a item it can disappear. This is a very not fun part of the game. This part of the game needed much more work to live up to the overall fun level of the rest of the game. I have no choice but to give this part of the game a non good score as it does not live up to the fun level of the rest of the game.

Overall ( not an average) 80/100 = 8/10
