  • Summary: Based on one of the hottest television shows, this 3rd-person fighting adventure game delivers the same intense action, characters, and humor that created a massive following. Developed as a lost episode from the show, the original story begins when Buffy and friends discover a dreaded enemy from the past is at the center of a great struggle with The First- the ultimate incarnation of evil. They must face an undead army of terrifying vampires, zombies, and demons to keep these hellions from casting the world into permanent darkness. With involvement from the show's creator, sanctioned Buffy writers, and voiceovers by numerous cast members, Buffy the Vampire Chaos Bleeds features intense action in an authentic Buffy universe with 6 playable characters from the show, an advanced fighting engine allowing over slayer 100 moves & combinations, loads of new and familiar characters and environments, multiplayer action for up to 6 people, and tons of DVD-style extras.

    A solid mix of action and puzzle solving, Chaos Bleeds features a fairly robust fighting engine. Sure, it's not "Soul Calibur II," but there are plenty of counters, combos, and blocks to keep players busy. [Oct 2003, p.32]

    This no-nonsense beat-'em-up based adventure will be fairly meaningless to non-believers but it's a tasty treat for Buffy fans. [PSM2]

    When you reach a dead end, it's usually just a case of retrieving a generic puzzle item from a conveniently inconvenient hiding place before continuing. Cue several minutes of primitive platforming and beating up the undead with a functional combat system before the next 'mash the Triangle button until you find something interactive' session begins. [Nov 2003, p.126]

    Firstly, I am a huge fan of Buffy. I still follow the continuation of the comics but I am NOT a delusional fan. As a game its very disappointing. The voice actors were all good except Willows (which was horrible!) and the plot wasn't too bad but the entire gameplay was extremely redundant. You won't find yourself doing anything different by the end of the game and there's no character growth (leveling and getting stronger) so you feel like you're not accomplishing much. Its "fruitless" as Joyce Summers would say. Its not a bad game though. Its a very safe and simple fighting/adventure game. Good for all ages. Just don't expect anything amazing.… Expand

    Totally subpar for what I was expecting. Yes the story is superior to last time, as is the ability to play multiple characters. That said, the movement is S L O W, you cannot swing your point of view around as easily (by clicking the trigger) as last time, and the audio is even more repetitive. Looks good, but doesn't deliver. … Expand
