I am a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I own the Xbox and I have the first Buffy game which was amazing! When I was 13 i bought Chaos Bleeds because I loved Buffy so much and thought that this game was great due to the ads. I was sort of wrong I will tell you the Pros and Cons and my overall feelings of this game.
*Pros/Cons: Decent Story- for me a game HAS to have a story. that is why I dislike games like Left 4 dead. But this one was really interesting. But... it is also flawed due to the fact the first on all evil does not appear until season 7 of the series to fight Buffy.
Voice acting- was great by most actors. Giselle Loren who voices Buffy is almost dead on-except for the way she says Tara Anya is voiced by her as well,which i find really weird, and She did not nail Anya. Willow makes me what to scream every-time i hear her. But all the others did their respective characters.
Graphics- are good, not as good as the collective with Buffy 1 but good. Some models are right on while others are not even close to being the person. Baddies- all good choices,except for Adam- who DIDN'T Speak. Really? Some are harder to beat then others. Puzzles- The puzzles aren't too bad but... sometimes you have to around in circles for 1 item which takes up a lot of time.
Controls- Not sure if it is just Xbox users but i find it hard with the camera angles, and collision detection sucks- you aim for legs instead of the heart.
Other Stuff- Sunlight No effect, I can dust vamps with swords? No decapitations like the other game. And other continuity issues. Oh and Willow acts like season 2 willow all unsure of herself, She is a powerful kick ass Wiccan in season 5 onward See Level 1 if you want an example.
If you are a hardcore Buffy fan this is a must have-if not... well maybe you should try before you buy. I think it is super cheap now a days so you might luck out and get it real cheap. I give it six stars because it is Buffy and it didn't suck but wasn't excellent.It was slightly above average. But it was still a good time to have. Oh and wouldn't touch the multi-player mode with a ten foot pole. it sucked. just stick to the one player stuff.
Happy Slaying*
