Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Overall: Many people will write this game off before they even play it, and with good reason. Very few games, bar Goldeneye 007, based on movie or t.v. licenses are, Let me start off by saying: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an excellent example of how to use a license to make a truly great game. While it isn't without it's share of flaws, all and all, it is definetly worth owning if you're an action-adventure game fan.Even if you're not a Buffy fan. Gameplay: The gameplay of Buffy is pretty much pick-up and go. The weapons are easy to use and the combo fight moves are fluid and easy to execute. The main problem of Buffy comes when she has to fight more than one enemy at a time. The game lacks any form of a lock-on feature, so when attacked by a new enemy from behind, Buffy is extremely slow to react. This will result in a lot of trial and error missions. Thankfully, this is the game's biggest and only real flaw. And if worse comes to worse, Buffy has one of the best hidden multi-player modes in recent memory.
Graphics: Buffy looks amazing. Granted, it can't hold a candle to DOA 3 or Halo, but it does hold its own. The enviroments are detailed and gorgeous and the character models, with the exception of Willow, are all pretty on-point. Thr characters look like there tv counterparts, so Buffy fans will be right at home.
Audio: The music does help to add to the suspense factor of the game. It is very nice. The voice acting is incredible. Almost all the show's actors are hear to do their voices and the witty humor of Buffy is hear in full force. The only downside is that Sarah Michelle Gellar is absent from the game. The girl replacing her, though, does an amazingly good job. Sometimes you'll forget that it's not the real Buffy. Buffy's in-game phrases do tend to get a little repetitive though. But this minor flaw can definitely be ignored.
Suggestions: Keep up the good work. Nice multi-player modes. Add some more variety to the gameplay.
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
Overall: I Loved This Game. It was fun and addictive. I ran out to buy it the day it came out and trust me, I wasn't dissapointed. Totally worth owning. Go buy one right now. Best game of all time. 10 stars!!!!!Gameplay: The game is fun and addictive. You'll find yourslf wanting to turn it off, you just can't quite bring yourself to do it. Simple gameplay. Very easy to understand.
Graphics: Not the best looking game you'll ever play, and sometimes all the bright lights can cause a slowdown, but overall still realy cool. Besides, the cartoony look is what the designers where going for.
Audio: The songs tend to get a little annoying after a while. The game would've been better if it supported the XBOX's soundtrack capabilities.
Suggestions: How about the ability to control the weather or the time of day. And would it be to much to ask if we could get a create a driver mode?
