Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows

Reviewed by:

Back in the day, the original Gauntlet brought Dungeons & Dragons-like adventure out of your basement and into the arcades. But while Seven Sorrows looks noticeably better than its pixilated forefather, it's essentially the same game—and that's a good thing. Nothing beats running around cramped dungeons seeking treasure and revenge while hacking, arrow-ing, and spell-casting your way through hordes of Lord of the Rings rejects. Which means you're still going to get hooked playing with friends—even if you don't have any. (That's what online play is for.)
