 Too Fun to Complain April 7, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This game is really addicting. The voice acting is great, animations good, interesting story, and spot on Buffy action. If you are a fan of the show, get this game. If you're not, become one and get this game.
I'm sure there are a lot of flaws in it, but they are really hard to see because the pure enjoyment value of the game is too hard to see past.
I haven't had any glitches in it, I don't know about other people though. It runs smoothly, with an occasional drag. The only time you will have to stare at loading screens is before the main menue and when you're loading a level. The level areas are huge, with secrets a plenty. You'll find yourself spending over an hour on a single level just because it is so big and you feel compelled to explore everywhere.
Some missions require backtracking, but that's ok because the forces of evil are quick to repopulate and you will never find yourself without a fight. That's not to say that its hard, but its not easy either. Since the levels are so massive, I reccomend the strategy guide by Prima Games to go with your game.
You get to play as many of the favorite Buffy characters from the whole series, and those you don't get to be will probably make an apperance. Playable characters include Buffy, Willow, Xander, Faith, and Spike. Each character gets their own mission, and they will be playable in a few other missions. There isn't much of a difference in characters except for Willow. She's the witch, so she has all the spells. Once you finish her mission, you will be an unstopable distructive force. Spike and Xander have many similarities, mostly moves. Buffy and Faith also have the same moveset, with over 100 moves that they can unleash on the forces of evil.
If you're not convinced yet, you should jump on the oppertunity to play with or against a friend. There is a special game mode in which you can battle a friend or three using unlocable characters. This feature has some good qualities, but is the weaker point of the game. That's not to say that anyone won't completly enjoy beating their friends into a pulp with the pitifully pathetic zombie.
Bottom Line: Get this game. Its as simple as that.

Of course I thought the overall game was pretty cool. nice graphics and fairly easy to catch on how to do the moves. The personal quotes for each character were true to their real characters on the show. The interviews and things that you had to unlock were pretty interesting. My bummer in the game was that they didn't use Buffy's or Willows real voice and the voices they used, especially for willow, didn't sound anything like the real actresses. For a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanatic, that was quite a let down...I've noticed Sarah Gellar doesn't participate in very many "buffy" related products or "Extras" on her D.V.D's even so I wouldn't count that against the makers of the game..I give it a thumbs up!!!

Oh come on!! How can someone complain about this game? It's really addicting and put us inside the Buffy verse. There is a lot of people that go crazy with the camera, the inventory, the combos and the puzzles.. I think they just don't know how to play. The action is not that hard and it's so cool. I loved playing with Faith and Willow! I didn't have any problem with the game but the puzzles are really hard, which is a good thing because they made me think a lot to get to the end.
The only bad thing is the multiplayer, which is awful. And the ending was too small.. overall I recommend it to anyone who likes action games and it is a must to any Buffy fan.
At this price...go for it! January 31, 2005

This is a pretty good game (With unlockable extras aplenty) and with the help of some online walk throughs for the last few levels (and the hubby beating some of the bosses for me) I managed to beat it in less than a month. But...however...I do agree with most of the other viewers on the whole camera angle/ lack of being able to save on the continue points situation. Anyway...I also think that we should've been able to play as Sid longer (you pretty much only get to play him for like half a level) and also Faith only gets one level while all the other characters you can play in more than one level. No big deal...cause they are both unlockable characters for the multiplayer games. While some people werent too crazy about the graphics...I liked them, especially the cemetary level. It goes without saying that if you are a Buffy fan that you wont be disappointed. (Gotta love the one-liners). And even if you arent a Buffy fan and you like fighting games, pick this one up. Cant go wrong at this price. :o)
