They include the Three Way shot, Fire Breath, Thunder Hammer, Invulnerability, Invisibility, and the Phoenix Familiar. The Spells themselves are fun on their own to collect. Also, in each regular area, players have a huge list of weapons, spells, keys, and food items, to collect. Four secret areas exist within the 20 levels, and each rewards you with a secret character, if you can beat it in the required time limit. The best thing about Gauntlet is the bountiful quantity of secrets and extras. You start out with one area, peppered with weak monsters, and easy-to-find Obelisks, and as you progress to the next areas, the AI gets more fierce, and the levels more complex. With 20 levels to play through, a single player literally has dozens of hours of game time. If you only own a PlayStation, and you love arcade-style hack-and-slash adventures such as Golden Axe or Dungeons and Dragons, then the game still has enough redeeming values to keep it fun and entertaining for quite while. The chaos is dampened, and so is the fun. With two players the game is still fun, and you still find those moments of disagreement and compromise of who takes the gold or who takes the ham, but the frenzied chaos of the three and four player games is lost. It retains some, but not all, of the communal fun that the others contained because it's only a two-player game. Unnecessary politics aside, Gauntlet Legends for PlayStation does a few things differently than its Nintendo 64 and arcade brethren. In an age where Doom is tagged as a "murder simulator" (and for the record, that label is blind, extremist propaganda), politicians can look at Gauntlet Legends to see how a fun and violent game builds friendships in a different - not better or worse - way than those in first-person shooters. Usually, personalities are fleshed at the cabinet, and where once total strangers were just looking blankly at each other, they're now helping each other out, working as a team, and slashing baddies together. It brings a fantastic communal aspect to the aspect of arcade gaming, as all players are meant to cooperate to reach the final goal (to collect everything possible and kill all the bosses). For those not familiar with Gauntlet Legends, the arcade version is a one- to four-player game. Gameplay After having seen a major delay, we're glad to see that Gauntlet Legends finally arrived on PlayStation.
