Ported from the original coin-op by the guys at Backbone Entertainment, Gauntlet II brings Thyra the Valkyrie, Questor the Elf, Thor the Warrior, and Merlin the Wizard back to action for 100-plus levels of retro goblin bashing. All four players can choose the same character type while stages have been improved with invisible walls and the option to become "it" (being "it" draws enemy characters towards your position).
Yesterday, the Americans could go loose with Super Stardust HD. Today, everybody in Europe can do the same. Super Stardust ain't the only new content in de European store, hit the jump to see the full list.
This is pathetic give me some real games and real demos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take your super stardust HD and shove it up your ass sony.
Wow, all those demos; I can hardly contain my excitement </sarcasm>
pull your bloody fingers out Sony!
Deep: What makes this a good update? Two trailers you will be able to find anywhere on the net (if not now, in the next couple of days) and two games older than most PS3 owners themselves. This is rubbish.
It's better then what we have been getting. Aka many weeks with no games & just trailers. Its not great but it is getting better.
"two games older than most PS3 owners themselves"
Super Stardust was made in the years 2006-7. Gundum Musou demo is from a game released 2007. There is also a Reistance update with new maps and worldwide servers. Plus new ps1 games. Plus I download from US, UK, and Japan...so I get everything.
My comment stands. This week is much better.
At least your getting something, just shut up!
Go and Buy an Xbox if you unhappy.
<Begin Sarcasm>
Dear Sony
I like your PSN service here in Australia for all the videos cr@p or other wise that you put on the PSN that I could probably find on the Internet. Not only that I am extremely excited about no game Demos and all the mediocre Classic games on the network that you can Download.
PS keep up the good work.
<End Sarcasm>
I have already downloaded Sigma of the US network and Folklore off the Japanese Network, what is taking so long Sony.
There's a FolkSoul demo on the Japanese PSN?! Thanks for the heads up, going to download.
IGN post what they think of Gauntlet II. They say how 21 years after it first debuted in arcades, the follow-up to one of the most successful dungeon crawlers of all time may have flashes of fun, but it doesn't pack nearly as much punch as it used to.
For five bucks, Gauntlet II isn't the worst deal on the PlayStation Store, but its repetition and lack of extras don't make it the best one either. There are much newer and more interesting options already available for roughly the same amount of money (flOw, Lemmings, and Mortal Kombat II to name a few) and the poorly-executed online options absolutely seal its fate. Unless you're a diehard Gauntlet maniac, your attention is better served elsewhere.
Rating: 5.5 out of 10
20 year old game with a lack of options and online play.The people who write these are retarded. They'd probably same the same anout Dig Dug online.
Red Wizard is about to die!
