Question about the original Buffy for Xbox

The original Buffy for Xbox seems to have developed a cult following on this board. I've never played it and it's becoming hard to find, but with all of the positive posts/threads I've seen about it here, I'm considering giving taking a plunge on a used copy of the game (the only kind I can find).

Can you guys describe the game a bit more and tell me what makes it so good?

BTW, I've never seen the show and have absolutely no interest in it. Does that matter?

It's good but only if you follow the show is it really worth it.

actually, i never watched the show but i like the game. enough that i just picked up part 2 (chaos bleeds).

you play a 3rd person role, jumping around, fighting baddies, slight puzzle solving, some crossbow sniping, exploring, type of stuff.

i got mine for $10... for that kind of money, i give it a 9 out of 10.

Side-kicking vampires through plate glass windows and watching them fall on flaming barrels, exploding into dust, totally makes the game for me.

It's just a slick beat-em-up with lots of cool moments (throwing vamps through windows into the daylight...stuff like that.)

Highly recommended.

Personally, I think it's just a great game all around whether you're a fan of the show or not.

Solid game. Got it for $10 a long time ago at EB. You don't have to know the show to enjoy it. Definitely pick it up if you see it.

If you have a Costco membership, I've still seen copies of the original and Chaos Bleeds at my local store.

This game is what got me to watch the show, and for that, I am forever in it's debt .

The fighting system jsut flows wonderfully. All sorts of different moves and "finishers", and the one liners aren't half bad either .

It's an awesome game, it's why I got an XBOX.. It has some really tough parts in it.

There are some codes to unlock some pretty cool features too.
