Buffy: Chaos Bleeds for xbox

[thebitterguy]

Chaos Bleeds is disappointing. There's little difference between Xander and Buffy (Buffy has more moves, but since the game is 90% 'hit 'em and stake 'em', it's irrelevant). Willow is cool, but magic hard.

Camera Control is annoying. Overall, it's much less satisfying than the original. Sword sucks, man; the baddies close way too quick for it to be of use. Most weapons are useless (still can't figure out how to make the watergun work). So I hit things and stab them with a stake.

The extras don't make me laugh. The multiplayer is mediocre. The screen is too small to track your character.

Not as bad as Enter the Matrix, but not as good as the original.

I'm gonna go play Halo now.

I had no problems with the game itself, save for the storyline. Why did they involve the First, since it technically hasn't been seen since the Third Season?

Nope, the storyline didn't make much sense, but whoever did the voice for Buffy was pretty decent.

So far, the story reminds me of a generic Marvel Universe crossover (with Ethan Rayne as The Grandmaster!).

The first one was better (the camera control was better, at least).

The Faux Buffy is indeed very good. Faux Willow not so good. Sounds like AH on Helium and liquor.

Dude I thought you liked _Enter the Matrix_ - you made fun of me for not liking it *sniff*

I was just making fun of you for its own sake.

The game really pulled me in for the beginning, but after a certain point it was just a waste of time. And I asked myself "Do I REALLY give a shit if Ballard lives or dies?", and the answer was: no.
