  1. I played for half an hour on my GBA SP and started getting pains in my wrists. It would have been a much sounder decision to have only one attack button and use A to jump.

    Has its shining moments of fun, but these precious moments are overshadowed by a far greater evil--terrible level design and slow-as-molasses controls.
  3. Play Magazine

    The graphics and music are pretty nice, and the license is put to excellent use with digitized cutscenes and top-notch dialogue, but it could have been a lot more. [Sept 2003, p.81]
  4. What little gameplay there is on this cartridge is mindless and not very fun.
  5. Nintendo Power
    54
    Her actions are stiff and the play control is often slow to respond, making tense situations frustrating. [Sept 2003, p.137]
  6. Without the hair, this would be no more than a mediocre platform game.

    Watch the show instead. This is almost, but not quite, entirely not worthy of association. It feels like a Streets-Of-Rage-but-platformy rip Watch the show instead. This is almost, but not quite, entirely not worthy of association. It feels like a Streets-Of-Rage-but-platformy rip off from about 7 or so years ago. Buffy fans: take the identity of the game's Big Bad as a warning. It's not Angelus, the Mayor, Glory, or even Warren. It's Adam. Skip it. Full Review »
