When Gauntlet hit the arcades in 1985 it was an addictive experience that showed how well multiplayer could work, using a sort of action role-playing type format. Since then, many other versions of the game have hit the arcade but they were never to far from the original that which they spawned. Basically, in the game you can be a elf, or a knight, or some other character and you travel through maze areas, fighting off hordes upon hordes of monsters that come your way. It is pretty effective, and all you need to know how to do is move, and press A to fire magic at them. Even neater is you can play the game with people online, and not just people in your living room. Each of the characters to choose from have certain attributes that make them better or worse at a task, so you have a bit more variety.
Presentation wise, it is the old classics so don’t expect this to wow you or take advantage of your Xbox 360 one bit. The sound is still the same to, so here it disappoints, but I think they were looking to keep it the same way it was originally. The company who handled the Xbox Live Arcade version is in fact the same company that handles Midway’s Arcade Treasures so you know what to expect. The game is priced right at 400 points (or $5) but then again, you can find Midway Arcade Classic titles in bargain bins for $10, and they include more.

It is a nice game, but it would have to be your call on buying it, especially since $5 seems a bit steep for just one old game, plus it does get pretty boring after awhile.
