Summary: Not Quite A Gamer
Comment: I'm not a gamer. Other than dabbling with the occasional "Crash Bandicoot" and "Dead or Alive", I haven't really played that many games. But, being a Buffy fanatic, I had to scoop up this game when I saw it at Game Stop for a mere five dollars.
The controls are exceptional and the story line is pretty interesting. The voices are good (I love the fact that most of the Buffy actors voice their characters here) and each level definitely brings on the fun. Killing vampires is easily the best part--the dusting effect is nicely done--and the parts where you can interact with Buffy's friends will make any fan of the show squee with glee. Overall, the game is very playable and the good graphics make it easy on the eyes. The only real complaint that I have is that there is one particularly hard part where you simply wander through a maze and try to navigate with a very misleading light. That part was overly hard, I thought. But other than that, I really have no qualms at all about this game.
So, I say this to Buffy fans who aren't really big on games: Get this game. If you like the show, this will surely keep you entertained, if not enthralled. Perhaps I'm biased. Hell, I'm sure there are games out there 100 times better than this. But, this is for the Buffy fans, and they'll enjoy it. I know I did.
9/10

Summary: btvs - video game for xbox console
Comment: just as much fun as i remembered, nothing like slaying a couple of virtual demons to put the inner demons to rest :). product got to me in good time and plays well, i don't have an xbox console, so it's cool also that i just got a patch from the xbox 360 website and this is one of the games that can be played on the 360 console. product came in good timing

Summary: SLAYER TIME
Comment: This game is awesome. I am a Buffy Fanatic. It is alot of fun to play and the graphics are cool. Even the voices are of the real people from the show. It isn't easy and it isn't hard. It is right in the middle. I have reached the end of the game and I still play it on a regular basis.
Have alot of fun when and if you get this game.

Summary: Awesome buy
Comment: I am not a gamer in any sense....I own an XBOX and play a couple times a week at most, but GOD I love this game! Like others have said, it is a great fighting game, easy to learn, easy to control....good graphics, great moves, and none of that long drawn-out, "searching for the sword of blah-blah" wandering around that you get with other games. This was the reason that Buddha invented video games....try it, you will love it!
(unless of course you like those "saga" games where you can spend hours roaming around a virtual world looking for crap and talking to people...then the game would be a bad choice.)

Summary: Addicting and Fun!
Comment: First things first... this game is outstandingly better than MANY games i have played in my life. I bought an XBox just to play this game. Its sad that they no longer make this game, it is a masterpiece in my opinion. The game starts out like many other games, you are one person against many. That one person is Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The games begins with you speaking with Giles (her watcher) outside a Spanish Courtyard and its a 'training-like' scenraio preparing you for the actual game you are about to play. There are a few puzzles you have to figure out, but they are simple, there are a few vampires you have to stake and dust, and you learn certain moves and combination with punching and kicking. Then the real fun begins....
You start off visting Sunnydale High, from there you go to The Bronze and then to a few back alleys, Sunnydale Cemetary (You visit this place many times) Angels Mansion, the Sunnydale Shipping and Docking Harbor, the Local Foundry, back to the High School again. You even get transported by The Master to a 'dreamers realm' where you face some of the toughest challenges i think the game has. But the good thing about this game is that it is not one of those IMPOSSIBLE HARD TO BEAT games. It has its difficult moments and be a challenge, but it can be beat.
I think that the graphics in this game are very life-like and the characters voices are the actual actors from the show (except buffys). When Buffy is fighting a Vampire and she stakes them, the stake comes out the other side of the vampire and as it turns to dust and the vampire screams, bones come crashing to the ground and then it fades away, exactly like in the show. Also there are many weapons that Buffy can pick up along the way and use against her enemies. You find crossbow bolts, rakes, shovels, baseball bats, holy water vials, sledgehamers, and bottles of hellfire. Also she has bottles of elixers that she can carry with her along the way that help replinses her energy. You can also combine some of you weapons together to make them stronger... for instance, if you have crossbow bolts and a holy water vial, you can combine them and have 3 blessed bolts to fire at enemies and watch them go up in smoke. WICKED COOL!! Sometimes, if you are low on weapons, you will come across areas where there is sunlight and you can grab vamps and toss them in the sun and they will go up in dust quick.
You can also save students/teachers/cilivians wandering the school halls or out in the city and they will give you elixers or other things to help you along the way, however some of them you cant save, no matter how hard you try. But save the ones you can for a prize.
Also be aware that certain weapons work better on enemies than other weapons do... for example, if you are fighting zombies dont try staking them, it doesnt phase them! Try using crossbow bolts that have been dipped in hellfire. That really lights them up!
The story line in this game is AMAZING and would have made a GREAT movie. The story is set somewhere in the begining to middle of the 3rd season of Buffy, before Cordelia and Angel left the show.
All in all this game is ACTION packed and full of funny one-liners from the characters and will leave you laughing sometimes so hard it will be hard to fight the vamps on the screen. If you arent even a Buffy fan, this is a great game if you like beat'em up, save the world type games! Great Family Fun!
