    I'd say there are about 15-20 hours of play here, but I'd probably double that just for me as I kept replaying so many of the boards due to the fights I got in (and that next to last mission that I so vehemently despise).

    Even if you know nothing about Buffy, the TV series, know this about Buffy, the Xbox video game: it's unquestionably the best beat'em-up for the system.

    For gamers who dig various deadly weaponry, Buffy: the Vampire Slayer is packed with a diversity of vampire-icing thingies, most of which have to be handled with care or they can be quite deadly to you as well.

    "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" has always focused on likeable characters, sarcastic humor, and lots of action, and the game succeeds in capturing all of these elements quite nicely.

    Best beat-m-up in ages - the only drawback is the jumping can be eratic but the fun in beating the crap out of the bad guys is great!

    As a Buffy game this rocks. As a fighting game, a fun beat 'em up with occasional frustration. As a swimming game - Buffy don't swim. Some poor and occasionally frustrating level design.… Expand
