Thanks to Bahn, I will be getting and reviewing it.
Well, I played it last week at GenCon :)
Graphically the game represented well, character models are very nice done, Buffy, and the rest of the gang do look simular to the ones in tv show, and monsters(even though I only seen vampire thugs and couple mummies) look pretty good and detailed. Environments look very nice, from abandoned mansion like house, underground caves, school, they are pretty big, and the game displayes some nice lighting fx.
It controlled well, with left analog controlling the movement, and buttons representing punch, kick, jump and attack(when using a stake) buttons. Character responded well, and the camera was working fine, with left shoulder button, controlling it, and setting it behind your character view.
Fighting was done well, with Buffy doing few different combos on the enemies, with use of punch and kick combinations, and also you can get weapons, like stakes, pool cues and other object to wreck smackdown on your foes. Also I tried crossbow, which was pretty cool and can be used in both regular, and in Zoom like sniper mode :) with 2 various zooms.
Voice acting was nice, and done by the cast of tv show, so expect good stuff, especially if you are the fan of the series.
There were few puzzles, like find the key for this door, or open the magic barrier, with use of the magic keys, but nothing very thought provoking and difficult.
Well, Eventhough I'm not the biggest Buffy fan, I enjoyed what I played so far, and looking forward trying more of the game, when it hits the shelves :)
Cool! Thanks for that info Despair. I'm not a big fan of the show either but the game looks pretty well done. I will be checking it out this Tuesday.
Looks like I'll have to get this for my girlfriend !!
Hahaha, it'll be great. Two of my friends HATE Buffy, but me and my girlfriend love it. I can't wait to play this game cranked up whenever those guys are around. The voice acting done by the real actors will be the icing on the cake.
OH YEAH.

Who cares? It's Buffy.
The new MaryKateOlsen game could have the greatest gamplay, developed by treasure (which would prbably hurt it), have the deepest story and it would still suck. Have some decency please.
Yes, a well-written show about a modern-day vampire hunter = Mary-Kate & Ashley. You, sir, are a flaming retard.
I myself haven't watched since probably the third season; me and a friend were really into it and never missed an episode during the first season (no one believed us when we told them it was good), but kinda drifted away after that.
Anyway, the game does look great, and I'm looking forward to it.
Except for Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays Buffy, of course. Apparently she was too busy (filming that masterpiece of a movie called Scooby Doo?) to attend voice recording session like the rest of Buffy cast...Quote:

Looks like I'm one of the only fans of the show in this thread, and I can pretty much guarantee I'm the only person here who bought an XBox to play this game. :)
The Gamespot review was extremely positive and made the game sound great.
Me buy very soon !!
