Gauntlet Seven Sorrows.... I might get this after all!

I really wasn't going to bother with this game, but the exerpt below from the new IGN Preview made me change my mind, the multiplayer might actually be a lot of fun!!  It brings back to mind the old arcade Gauntlet coop play of my youth!

"Finally, the online component of Gauntlet, perhaps the most desired part of the series, has reached fruition. The story mode is fully online, enabling as many as four gamers to connect and play alongside each other regardless of player level. So, a level 1 player can play with a level 40 player. Most likely this isn't going to happen, considering that level 40 players will probably fight in much harder levels, which will instantly be too hard for the lower level players. But it's possible. It's also possible to max out all your player characteristics (each maxes out at 20 units) and then play through the entire game again, brutally powerful, devastating, and nearly invincible. Simple, yet exactly what Gauntlet should be.

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows looks to reclaim the torch it originally lit for coop game back in the arcades with a four-player offline and online experience. The basic game hasn't changed too much, but the fundamentals look bolstered in ways that should have happened years ago. The extra moves, the streamlined interface and sense of action, and the beautification of the game -- along with its excellent online option -- make it a solid-looking, very attractive game for current-gen gamers looking to have mindless, enemy-butchering fun with their friends this holiday. It's not the savior of all games, but you know what? I'm getting it."
