Buffy returns!

Buffy is a great game! It has great weaponry, it has fantastic graphics, and the game uses real characters from the show! The only reason I cut a star is that it is very short, but when you play a game like this, you will want to play it over and over. My suggestion is if you are looking for fun, Buffy comes first!

Could've Been Better, But Not Bad

Although the graphics are an improvement over the Gameboy Color Buffy game, I wasn't overly impressed by the gameplay in this new Buffy game for Gameboy Advance. Between levels, there is dialogue between the characters which are now real stills from the show, though just the same ones used over and over again. It's still an improvement over the drawn characters in the GBC Buffy game, but I was disappointed at the lack of characters. As with the last GBC Buffy game, there was no Spike (James Marsters), who happens to be my favorite character. In the stills, the only characters were Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, and Anya. Riley is in the game but only has a helpful character during boss battles. The bosses do include the Gentlemen and Adam from the show, as well as the new Darkhul King (who proved to be incredibly easy for being the ultimate bad guy in my opinion).

One of the things that really threw me off about this game was the controls. They were quite awkward, and made for a somewhat frustrating gaming experience. For instance, to jump you have to use R1, which hard to use on a regular basis. Not to mention that there were alot of difficult jumps to perform in the game. This was very frustrating at times. The game was relatively short, with only 16 levels that are pretty short. The puzzles were ok, though seemed somewhat out of place at times. The music was repetitive and annoying, and not anywhere near as neat as the music on the show. I think if the makers would have spent just a little more time on this game, it could've been alot of more fun for fans.

Average game. Nothing speacial. Very fun for fans; not so much for not fans. Now all we need is an Angel game(i sure hope so)

I have been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for five years. Now, before the games and sound tracks, Sarah Michelle Gellas was playing a girl who fought vampires. Well she came a long way. This game is awesome with all the action and adventure. I would highly recommend this to everyone because around each corner comes a spine shivering scene.

You might as well light a ... bill on fire

You might as well light a ... bill on fire than spend it on this game, because you're more likely to derive entertainment from watching your money go up in smoke. The controls on this game are stiff and frustrating, level design is unimaginative and you are constantly forced to restart, and the music is so tinny and annoying that it borders on self-parody. It would be really cool to play Buffy and her friends as they stake vamps -- but this isn't the game to do it with.

This game blows

I love Buffy but I hate this game. It is a little hard to control at times and is generally uninteresting. Oh well.

Got to be Good

I have been a fan of since since March 10, 1997 (The first episode of the sereis) all through its Seven year Run (Which end May 20th, 2003) I have followed the show religously. I have purchased 95% of all the merchandise, including the video games. There have been three previous games (One for Game Boy Color, one for XBox, and a computer pinball game) all the games have been fun, and have had a certain degree of epicness. I doubt that this game will stray far from the formula. Purchase this game if you a Buffy for, or if you just like Action / Adventure games.... AND DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE BUFFY FINALE ON MAY 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worth a look for action or Buffy fans

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King is essentially another licensed side scrolling beat 'em up that occasionally has something to do with the series it's based on through still cut scenes from the series and weapons that fans of the series will be familiar with. Taking place within the fourth season of the show, Buffy encounters hordes of vampires and demons, as well as the voice stealing Gentlemen and the cybernetic giant Adam among other baddies. The ability to combine weapons adds some variety to the game, but there are plenty of cons here. Jumping moves are very annoying to get ahold of, the puzzles are tedious, and if you can get through all that, you'll find that the game is actually a breeze to get through. The graphics are colorful, but nothing that pushes the GBA to it's limits. It's too bad that THQ didn't put more thought into designing this game, I for one would have enjoyed it if you could play as other characters than just Buffy; adding Xander, Willow, Riley, or even Giles would have been fun given each has different abilities, but oh well. All in all, this game is worth a look for fans of the series that own a GBA, but all others should leave this on the shelf.

The Show May Be Over, But The Merchandise Live On

I have been a big fan of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series ever since it has been on TV. The show has everything you need in a show: Horror, comedy, romance, suspense, and action all rolled into one action-packed hour. And on November 6, 2001, Buffy the Vampire Slayer made television history by making the best musical episode ever for a television series. "Once More, Feeling" is the episode title that sweeped the nation. I was hooked, and now video games are being released on GameCube, XBox, and now Game Boy Advance. I'm glad that they have finally decided to release a Buffy game for Game Boy Advance, now I can have just as much fun playing my favorite characters in my hands, as well as watching them kick [butt] on the tube. If you are a slayer fan, there won't be a doubt that you should buy the Game Boy Advance game, "Buffy the Vamprie Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King," a great new game to your collection.
