2 of 5

I played Buffy the Vampire Slayer in order to spend a little more time in the Buffyverse. I am not entirely certain it was worth it, but the game did have points both good and bad.

If I recall correctly, this was one of the first titles for the PS2, a sort of fighting/adventure game by Squaresoft. I had heard mixed things about itgenerally that it was fun, but too short.
