Play buffy games online

Video games based on television programs are usually disasters think V. I expected the game to look good--we've been getting great-looking screenshots from EA for a while now--but what took me by surprise is how fun this preview build is to play. So far, we've only gotten to go hands-on with a couple of levels, but those offered enough bang to sufficiently excite me about the potential of the finished package.

Take Resident Evil Code: Veronica , substitute shotguns and knives with Charlie's Angels -style chop-socky balletics, add a dash of sly humor, and you get a game that's surprisingly hard to put down.

Buffy's movements are fluid and graceful; like Max Payne , her attacks are as fun to watch as they are to perform. Buffy actually performs that move in the show, too. Pretty cool, eh? The Collective the guys responsible for developing this clearly understand what makes the television series tick, and that knowledge is reflected in all of the game's little nuances.

For instance: The dialogue is all spot-on; just as in the source material, Buffy's enemies are caustic and witty, prone to blurting out amusing pop-culture riffs before baring their fangs.

Not that Buffy is ever taken off guard; she's always prepared to deliver catty comeback lines of her own. A special note to Sarah Michelle Gellar fans: This disc's cyber babe is a surprisingly good replica of your favorite television blondie.

In fact, all of the character models look great: Willow is a dead ringer for Allyson Hannigan, and the polygonal Angel capably retains David Borneaz's smoldering expressions.

All said, this is turning out to be a pound-the-joypad-'til-your-fingers-bleed thrash-fest, and I mean that in the best possible way. As far as TV-to-game translations go on the Game Boy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is pretty decent, due to the excellent cutscenes and humorous dialogue not spoken, of course in between the levels. They really capture the spirit of the show, even though the game's story is contrived in spots. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is mediocre at best.

Levels are small, and the variety of vampire enemies one even has a mullet are best described as the brain-dead undead. While you can pull out a solid number of offensive tricks, most don't need to be used. For example, when you encounter an enemy, you can't leave that particular scene until they're killed like in Golden Axe.

Problem is, this creates a wall of sorts on each side of the scene. Simply back the enemy against this invisible wall, knock them down with a sweep kick and drive a stake through their heart.

Voila, one dead vampire. Sadly, this even works on the bosses, so you can finish the game in an hour. Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot and alt, but I'll pass on this game and stick with the show.

Chances for this Buffy game looked slim after the death of the Dreamcast; titles bound for extinct platforms usually fade into development hell. Thankfully, this sultry slayer doesnt go down without a fight. And against all odds, the Buffster has made her way to Xbox with a substantial graphical overhaul. Based on the long-running TV series, this action-adventure title thrusts you into the role of Buffy Summers, a perky, popular chick chosen to combat the undead forces that threaten the earth.

The game roughly encapsulates some of the plot elements from the early episodes, so youll control Buffy as she masters the art of slaying. Her mentor, Giles, instructs her on the finer points of kicking, punching and staking the hearts of the vampiric beasts attacking Sunnydale. As your skills improve, youll learn to wield different flesh-rending weapons and dazzling magical attacks. Youll also interact with many of the characters from the show, including Angel, Spike, Willow and Cordelia.

The series unique sense of humor survives the transition intact Buffy and her foes engage in witty exchanges during fights, and youll have a chance to chat with most of your friends after each level. Im really impressed at how well this game captures the unique, irreverent appeal of the show.

Its all here clever humor, interpersonal drama and satisfying, ass-stomping action. Channeling the spirit of Joss Whedons creation demands a lot of Buffy herself. Sarah Michelle couldnt make it, but this sound-alike hits the role perfectly, tossing off scads of legitimately funny quips. It also helps that the real actors voice many of the other characters.
