The virtual Slayer actually looks, moves, and grunts like the real Ms. Summers. Coolest feature: the ability to kill vamps by demolishing rooftops to let the sun shine in. [18 July 2003, p.83]
The graphics and music are pretty nice, and the license is put to excellent use with digitized cutscenes and top-notch dialogue, but it could have been a lot more. [Sept 2003, p.81]
Her actions are stiff and the play control is often slow to respond, making tense situations frustrating. [Sept 2003, p.137]
In a game, you need a control scheme that makes sense and works. Buffy's doesn't. At all... Try as I might, there's nothing that I can compliment or even remotely endorse in this game. [Sept 2003, p.126]
With its anemic presentation, difficult jumps, and random and completely obscure puzzles, it's tough to enjoy everything else Buffy has to offer.
A generic and frustrating side scroller that could have been much better had it spent a few more weeks in development. Likewise, more work should have gone into tying the game into the television show.
I can't think of a single positive thing to say about Buffy. It's boring, unoriginal, ugly, takes only an hour or so to finish, and falls far short of the mark. Even if you're a hardcore Buffy fan, I wouldn't recommend this sorry excuse for a game to you.

Summary Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the GBA has little in common with the popular TV series it's based on, and it's a bad game to boot.
