If You ever seen The TV Show Buffy The Vampire Slayer then you know how exciting it is. The Game is just as exciting. You travel around with Buffy and the scooby gang crossing many demons, vampires, and even a few cordettes during your journey. This game will definitly keep you hooked. You become Buffy herself and it's almost like you are in the tv show. The best is when you kill the vampire and he turns the dust. That, of course, is a classic buffy move. With the Stake, Crossbow, and much more. Defeat the minions of evil, move from level to level and proove to everyone that you have what it takes to be a Vampire Slayer. Hey, you never know, you could be the next Buffy!
Good game for Buffy fans.

This game is pretty cool. Its not big on grafics though, and sometimes when im fighting the vamps (and there are alot of them), its hard to tell if ive been hit by just looking at it. This game would be better on Play Station or Dreamcast. Its still a cool game though.
Only read if you want to know about Ethan & a cool cheat!

This game was okay. The reason I didn't like it was because there was only seven levels (It says on the box eight levels, but that must be a typo.) I beat them all in a matter of hours. If there was more levels, this would be an awesome game. I loved how in the beginning, the levels were pretty easy, and then, they got harder. I was mad that you don't fight Ethan, though. The last one you defeat is a dragon. He was hard. He takes your health away very quickly. Other than the bad graphics and the short amount of levels, this was an awesome game! [Hint: This is a risky cheat. (You can do this without getting hit.) I beat the vampires by going as far as possible to the end of the screen (facing that direction.) Then wait for them to go as far as possible to the end of the screen (the end that you're at.) Then, do a LOW KICK to make the vampire fall, and as quickly as possible stake them.] Thank you for reading this. I hope you understand why I picked this rating and I hope you say that this did help you! Thanks a million!
A must-have for fans of the show

The game is very faithful to the excellent t.v. series, and if you're a fan, you'll appreciate the little details in the cut scenes between the action. The graphics could be better, but it's all about action. The backgrounds are pretty cool, and I thought it was a nice touch that sometimes Buffy walks behind an object, such as a tree. Overall, a satisfying action game.
I'm so disappointed!

This game lacked substance. It played just like a mini version of the t.v. show, which sounds like a good idea, but the creators were completely unable to pull it off. Between levels, there are long dialogues between the characters which set up a plot line. After the dialogues, Buffy goes to patrol and, of course, is attacked by vampires. Unlike the t.v. show, Buffy only fights vampires. I was hoping for some vicious demons to shake things up, but no such luck. The game lacks choices. There are no weapons and you follow an arrow which points out the next vampire. The graphics and action are awful. Sometimes when fighting a vamp, you don't know if you are successfully hitting it or not. I would recommend this only if you are a hardcore Buffy fan.
It's pretty good.

I liked the game a lot, I didn't like the way my thumbs looked after performing a lot of Buffy's fighting moves. OUCH! There could have been a better variety of vampires and demons (there were no demons). I liked the plot line a lot. Some of the later vampires are too powerful and recover too fast. It would have been better if they had let Buffy power up throughout the game as well. All hardcore Buffy fans will love it though!
Not what you expect

I was so disappointed in this game. I am a huge Buffy fan, so naturally I bought it. When you first get it, it's like, cool, you fight vampires. But that is ALL you do. The only other thing there is are cartoons that you read before each level. The "levels" consist of differently dressed vampires. I found that it was difficult to move Buffy at times, and buttons to move are not well designed--to stake, you have to hav ethe vampire on the ground, press the down key and the A key at the same time to do the act that is the entire point of the game! Granted, there are only so many combinations that can occur, but they could have been placed better. Anyway, unless you really REALLY want to sit around and get frustrated at a little vampire that seems to be draining your energy for no reason, I recommend this game, otherwise, don't wast your money.
what a joke

tip to beat the game: walk from left to right and do some sweep kicks at the angry vampires. Then kill them with you stake with down and A. Repeat twenty times to get to level two. Repeat thirty times to get to levet three. Repeat fourt... oh wait I've got better things to do in my car like counting the threes through the window...
