GamePro
Reviewed by Ouroboros, [3.5/5]. "Watching these heroes pirouette amidst the violence is surprisingly entertaining, and while Seven Sorrows doesn't deliver fully on the promise and longevity of its progenitor, it does provide a fleeting good time."

Gaming Age
Reviewed by Brian Peterson, [C-]. "Seven Sorrows succeeded in bringing back the nostalgia of the arcade franchise, but the game just feels all too familiar for a present day purchase."

IGN
Reviewed by Jonathan Miller, [7.0/10]. "While there is a certain satisfaction to be had at unleashing 50-hit combos in Seven Sorrows, many people will find the game just too shallow in this day and age."

Reviewed by Paul Semel, [3.5/5]. "Nothing beats running around cramped dungeons seeking treasure and revenge while hacking, arrow-ing, and spell-casting your way through hordes of Lord of the Rings rejects."

Stuff
Rated [8/10]. "It'll make you all warm and nostalgic at first, but don't' be surprised if by your second hour of gameplay an unfortunate sense of 'didn't I play this back in 1989?' sets in."

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Reviewed by Robert Ashley, [6.3/10]. "Seven Sorrows baits you with a role-playing-game-style character development system, but the game's short length (easily clocking in under six hours) makes leveling up unrewarding." (January 9, 2006)

Extreme Gamer
Reviewed by Jimmy, [6/10]. "Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is decent hack and slash adventure that can keep you occupied for a while, although giving its nature this is only for fans of the hack and slash games, or if you're in need of a good co-op game." (January 9, 2006)

Reviewed by Jeff Haynes, [56%]. "The plot is inconsequential, the characters are less than one dimensional and the game is radically overbalanced, amongst other issues." (January 6, 2006)

Gaming Horizon
Reviewed by Eric Dayday, [5.6/10]. "If it weren’t for the enjoyment you get from playing with the people you’ve gathered around you or hopping online to meet up with other Live users, this would be a game that I’d recommend you stay far away from considering its repetitive mindless gameplay and rather lackluster presentation."

1UP
Reviewed by Greg Ford, [6.5/10]. "Sorrows nails the controls, making the repetitive hack-n-slash action enjoyable in a Dynasty Warriors kinda way, and multiplayer is mostly successful." (December 24, 2005)

GameSpot
Reviewed by Greg Kasavin, [5.2/10]. "Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest." (December 12, 2005)
