    When I first started playing it at the videogame store it was all I could do to not get sucked totally into this game. Normally I rent a game a couple of times before I buy it, I didn't in this case and I should have. At first glance this game is really, REALLY good. but ... it's the same things over and over. Now I let my friends borrow it after playing it for a bit and borrow When I first started playing it at the videogame store it was all I could do to not get sucked totally into this game.

    As a Buffy game this rocks. As a fighting game, a fun beat 'em up with occasional frustration. As a swimming game - Buffy don't swim. Some poor and occasionally frustrating level design.

    Its not a bad game. Once you get past the how to level. It becomes an ok game. I would say give it a try

    Video games based on TV franchises don't always live up to the shows that inspired them. Fortunately, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an exception.

    Graphically sharp and combined with gameplay that has been similarly honed, Buffy is one of those rare titles that does the Xbox justice. [Fall 2002, p.111]

    I'd say there are about 15-20 hours of play here, but I'd probably double that just for me as I kept replaying so many of the boards due to the fights I got in (and that next to last mission that I so vehemently despise).
