My bro bought me this as a very late birthday present. I also got the multitap so we could play the 4 player game as well.

Gauntlet is very cool in my opinion. A lot has changed from the 80's classic. The arcade game was well made for a hack and slash. The PS2 version is nearly identical except it has been enhanced slightly. The extra buttons on the controller were used for 'Turbo attack', 'Strafe', 'Charge' (same as holding turbo), plus you can use the analog joystick for precise control. You can also choose several different character types, 6 initially, and more as they are unlocked. I don't recall being able to unlock characters in the arcade, it's really a neat feature.

We played a little with the multitap (My bro, my girlfriend, and me) and found it to be a little difficult. In all game modes you share the same screen, there is no split-screen. My brother and I did really well just the two of us, but when you add more than two the action gets crowded. You also get frustrated with each other because everyone is trying to go in different directions. It probably gets better with practice.

Overall I'd say Guantlet DL is a good game if you have some friends to play with. I don't think it's as much fun as a one-player game.
