Reviewed by Vaughn Smith, [3.9/5]. "If your parents have run the Gauntlet back in the day, nothing would be better than firing this up and having at it with them by your side."
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."
eToychest

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."
Team Xbox
Reviewed by Dale Nardozzi, [8/10]. "Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows honors the origin coin-op in many instances- a nice touch."
Talk Xbox
Reviewed by Sallizar, [6.4/10]. "It’s just the same old Gauntlet with a shiny new exterior."
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."
The A.V. Club
Reviewed by Keith Phipps, [C]. "It's a great way to kill an afternoon with friends, but nothing more."
Bonus Stage
Reviewed by Greg Wilcox, [8.2/10]. "The minimalist twist to Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows may turn of those gamers looking for depth, but the game really does pull you in with some great visuals and slick combo moves."
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."
FilePlanet
Provides gameplay movies and trailers.

Reviewed by Heather Newman. "A terrific rental title, a vastly overpriced game to buy, an entertaining romp for an afternoon and a sure disappointment for longtime fans of the series."
Game Over Online Magazine
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."

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."
NetJak
Reviewed by Steve Lubitz, [3/10]. "It does too good of a job in simplifying the game to the point where it’s barely worth playing."

Reviewed by Michael Mullis, [81/100]. "And it's the first real console-based Gauntlet game ever, which adds a new element to the 4 player co-op play that was a cornerstone of the series."

Reviewed by Justin Leeper, [3.5/5]. "It may not be revolutionary or technically stunning, but it is a lot of fun; and that's what games are all about."
GameZone
Reviewed by Natalie Romano, [7/10]. "With solid action, decent levels and loads of monsters, the game is still fun enough for new fans as well as those who fondly remember the original."
