Better than buffy!

i have played both the ps2 and xbox version, as there was very little differnce between them. This game reminds me a lot of buffy the vampire slayer only better. The motion isnt as stiff as it was in buffy. The xbox version had a little more fluid motion as the fighting was felt almost like dead or alive. Like I said the difference is very little. Dark angel has many alphets like buffy, except more prettier. The fighting is very good. The part i really hated about buffy was that u can only do 3 hit combos when u press the same buttton again, but in dark angel u can link a lot more moves when u button mash. Enemies range from thugs to what it looks like burglars (I havent seen the show at all so i dont know what significance those ppl have to Dark Angel) the atmospheres are kool. The only thing they should work on is dark angels face, it sorta looks like jessica alba, but not really. The thing that i love the most of course is the motion. its great. i think it is 60 frames per second two times as much as buffy. and max does some acrobats and gymnastic "stuff" like flips and aerial "stuff".

i really liked playing this game, but i only played it for lik 30 minutes so i really dont know the true essence of this game

NOT EVEN WORDS CAN EXPRESS....

WOW! This video game is off the HOOK! I never played such an awsome XBOX game. I only got to play like 45 minutes but I'm shocked on how good the game play and fighting is well put together. It's sad that FOX canceled DARK ANGEL, but the game is like 10 times better then the Buffy game. It's more life like and with all the cool gymnastic and... butt kicking action. From 1 to 10 I give this one a 9.5 it could have been a 10 but it's true about how Jessica Alba's 3D character looks more like someone else. ( Think Alias ) I just hope FOX desides to do more with DARK ANGEL plus a part 2 of this video game would ROCK!

its the best show

I just recently got an X-box and was searching for good solid games. I purchased this based on the reviews I read at Amazon.com and was pleasantly surprised. This is a great game. It is fun and challenging without being impossible. The controls are easy to learn and the goals for each level are clearly stated before you begin. The graphics are good, although I did find a few problems with the camera angles, especially when near solid objects like walls, etc. Otherwise, I have no complaints. If you are looking for a solid game with challenges (not frustrations) that has a lot of replay value, GET THIS GAME!!

This game rocks!!! As a fan of the show,I am so glad that I can continue on the wonderful experience of the show in this awesome game.They did a great job at capturing the essence of the show's post-pulse Seattle world. Dark Angel fans will not be disappointed.

For those not familiar with the show, you are Max, a genetically enhanced super-soldier who escaped from the government lab that created her when she was a child, and has been on the run ever since. You are guided through the game by "Eyes Only", a renegade cyber-journalist out to stop corruption.The game has two main features--stealth and fighting.

Stealth--really cool once you get the hang of it. In most levels, you have to try to stay undetected by security. You sneak down walls, and peak around the corner. If someone is there, you make a noise to draw them to you, and just when they reach the edge of the corner you're hiding behind, you jump out and break their neck with a satifying CRUNCH, remaining undetected.

Fighting--the fighting moves are spectacular!! You can do some awesome backflip kicks and jump kicks off walls and stuff. You build up your "rage" meter as you fight, and when it's full you can engage the Rage Mode to kick some serious booty.

Definately a 5 star game!!!

Save system is very poor

The game is fairly well done and the moves are cool. But the saving system is poor. Several levels are extremely easy to complete to get to a save (one level between saves is killing 3 guards and that is it). And then the next level will be 20+ mins of playing, killing 25+ guards.

Not enough time or thought went into where to put the saves in order to keep the frustration levels in line. No one likes having to redo large portions of a game because the saves are not well thought out.

Dark Angel developers should take some time and learn from Splinter Cell developers on how to do saves.

I'm a big Dark angel and jessica alba fan And was looking forward to this game. This is what should have been a great game. The makers had a great character with super human strength, A cool story etc.. I would have thought Dark Angel would have turned out to be a great game in the Way Buffy The Vampire slayer did.Where to begin,.First the Graphics are average at best, There are some nice shots in the opening but the in-game graphics are ordinary and plain. All the settings look the same, The camera is to far away. 2nd it's pretty much a button mashing game. They throw to many enemies at you(some with guns) and you just start mashing away, 3rd theres just no depth. It's all just go here fight get Key card fight some more get another key card and fight etc...And it seems Max dies way to easy. She gets hit a few times and her health is just about gone. And maybe the worst part is their is no inter-action with the environment, She can hit a garbage dumpster but that's about it. SHe can jump on to the top off a roof in some parts but seems not to be able to jump on top of a car lol.Now the game does have some cool things about it. Max's moves are very cool with Matrix style fighting and flipping off walls, Her zoom Vision..very cool. her burst of speed cool,,,but way to short. If they were to take some of these things that are good about it and make a better game to go with it they would have a game even better then Buffy.

you got to be kidding me

As long as people continue to buy this garbage, the developers will continue to produce this trash. Anyone that has had the displeasure of playing this game will no what I'm talking about. Kill 10 men in under 60 seconds or die! Wow! What fun! Or later on in the game... If the enemy sees you, you die! Wow! This just keeps getting better! After about 5 levels, the game is nearly impossible to play even on the easy level. You can't even save your progress until the end of each level. If the developers cared even a little bit about this game, they would've at least allowed your character to move while you're shooting your X5 gun. Spare yourself the pain, and don't buy this game. This is by far the biggest embarrassment to hit the XBOX.
