 A must if you're a fan May 14, 2007

Anyone who is a fan of the show and doesn't play this game is missing out. In and of itself is a fun game and it's appeal increases from there based on how much you're into the series. It's made to be another episode of Buffy where the crew is transported to an alternate universe from which they have to find their way home. You'll encouter a number of characters from throughout the series and actually get to play as a number of them, including Buffy, Spike, Xander, that mannequin from the ventriloquist episode in the first season, and some others. I play a fair amount of video games and in terms of difficulty, I was able to complete it but didn't find it all that easy to do.

This game stays true to the series and the voice overs are great! The story line is pretty good and brings back some great baddies! I would recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of BTVS. Others may or may not enjoy it. Some levels are very simple and others are rather difficult to complete. I don't play the game as much as I used to but even when I played for hours on end I still never got through the entire game. Maybe I'm just slow, but overall it was weel worth the money paid.

I love this game!!! It is a must have for any Buffy fan, and even non-Buffy fans. I have a friend who liked the game, and he doesnt even watch the show. Anyway, this is a really good game with semi-dfficult parts, and is a really good game over-all. I love it!!!!!
 Pretty much what you'd expect from a licensed product -- SPOILER ALERT July 4, 2006

Buffy fans love the TV series because it was a labor of love. Unfortunately, licensed products like video games too often aren't.
/Chaos Bleeds/, for example, has a great story line and universally interesting settings, and the dialogue and cut scenes are very reminscent of the show. The game play itself, however, ranges from okay at best to abysmal at worst. There are too many cases of "guess what the designer was thinking" in solving levels, making for lots of wandering around, trying to use the action key in overly dark corners, hoping to find something you missed and that it might somehow relate to something else you saw three or four chambers before--all while trying to survive endless vampire attacks.
The Adam section is particularly disappointing. For example, in one room, the only way to progress is to use an EMF grenade on the cyborgs, but several rooms before, an EMF grenade has absolutely no effect on an identical cyborg. (There are several such frustrating contradictions of game logic in other places.) And the battle with Adam himself is the worst: Who could have guessed that his only vulnerability would be dropping barrels on his own head? Shades of Donkey Kong!
Finally, the game's ultimate battle left me swearing I'd never buy another Vivendi-produced game again. There just isn't enough control of the character, nor enough cues to the enemy's spellcasting, to make the battle feel like much more than sheer luck. (By contrast, Willow's final battle is probably too easy, which makes it seem TOO mechanical.)
As for multi-player mode, hah!
Still, much of the game provides a sense of welcome visit to the Buffy-verse. If you can get a copy cheap, and you love Buffy, you'll probably find it worthwhile. But as far as games go, there are certainly better ones out there.
