Do not listen to all the fools who already review

It is important to wait until somebody who has played the game reviews it so that they can tell you about the important things such as gameplay, frame rate, and how many bugs the game contains. More importantly they can tell you if it is fun, rather than rambling on about screenshots and the premise of the game like most of the fools who have posted here do.

How is it this game has all these reviews and high ratings when it won't be released for three more months?

I guess Doc Brown must be renting out his DeLorean.

Pound for pound, the most boring game I've ever played. More action in Atari's Space Invaders. Obvious continuation of Teen Beat Magazines to market untalented actor(s) in every entertainment media as possible. Suggest you save your money and sit alone in a dark closet for more fun.

I'm not a fan of the show, but I found that the graphics and storyline were terrific and often funny. However, I absolutely hated the fact that I couldn't save during crucial parts of the game (such as after slaying one of the tougher creatures). Instead the annoying checkpoints are used at designated points (which are often VERY far apart). I became so frustrated having to go back and replay from a previous checkpoint 10 minutes of play back in the game that the game lost its fun and became a burden. I'm glad I rented this game because I will not buy it.

Not as good as the critics let on

As a player of video games, but a lover of Buffy, I was sadly disappointed when I frist played the game; and still am.

As far as graphics go: 2 of 5 stars. Any game where your enemies can lose their heads in stationary scenery of the game falls short on the "we took time to design this game's graphics" factor.

Plot: 4. Very good, in my opinion, but how Giles was able to get by some places without getting the living bejesus beaten out of him is beyond me.

Believability: See the above two points. Also, hearing Buffy and the rest of the team say the same things... over... and over... and over again got to be monotonous.

Buffy disappointment

There is a reason why the price has dropped on this game. It has nice graphics and sound, but moves from being extremely simple to ridiculously difficult. The voice-overs become annoyingly redundant and much of the action occurs in the dark (though reasonably this is where vampires live). The difficulty level increases only because there are no interim saves, and you are forced through mind-numbing repetition. Silly timing jumps negate what otherwise would be a cute juvenile adventure package, and seem much more likely for a Mario Brothers package.

I would not recommend this game. You might want to consider Halo, Enclave, or even BloodRayne.

punch punch, kick kick, yawn yawn, zzzz

It's cool to see Buffy kicking butt on the show. But the kicking and the punching are just a small part of the show, and the rest is story and character. The game, however, is just you running around as Buffy punching and kicking and staking a lot of various creatures and vampires that use the same old sayings - female vampires, for example, have the annoying tendency to say this over and over: "Chick fight!" Ooookay. The design is nice, the overall look of the game is really quite good, and it's nice to have all the actors from the show using their voices for their gaming counterparts (well, except for Sarah Michelle Gellar - she's the only one absent, and instead they use some actor that sorta tries to sound like her).

So, if you like kicking and punching and staking and running around and then more kicking, more punching....then you'll love it. But I found it tedious after awhile. Just like it WOULD be tedious if the show itself was all a bunch of kicking and punching. I wouldn't want that on the show, so why do they think it's good enough for a game? To me it shows a lack of imagination by the creators.

The most annoying feature of the game is the SAVE system. I hate games that don't allow you to save when you want. Instead you have "checkpoints." If you don't reach the checkpoint, if you somehow die, well...tough luck, you have to start from the beginning of the last checkpoint. And that's just plain frustrating and annoying.

But hey, it does look good. I mentioned that, right?

Payed more for the licese than to make the game

It's easy enough for a 9 year old, but I don't know stabbing a person is though. It's so easy it's boring. I bought it for my girlfriend so she can something to play on the XBOX. Put it this way she couldn't throw the ball in NFL 2K3. The graphics are basic even on HDTV. The audio is confusing in 5.1 Dolby Digital. You can determine if people are around you or even there with digital sound. A young fan of the show it's a buy, but not for a high school student. I don't my XBOX daily maybe 3 times a week in not that, so don't take me as a proficinal IN GAME PLAY.
