Am I on my own when I say this game's an utter biatch, it's so difficult in places.
It's good, I'm enjoying it but a few more checkpoints and a more balanced dificulty curve would have been nice. I'm on the docks level on the bit where you have to fight that gay fish/mutant thingy, i've tried about 20 times to beat the thing but it always kills me, I'm low on energy by the time I reach and it kicks my ass everytime.
I'll stick with it though because I'm enjoying it, but how exactly they think fans of the TV programme (who are mainly teenage girls) are gonna get past this, i'll never know. Most of them will loose intrest after a few levels because it's a really unforgiving game.

I didn't think it was that hard, though some bits are stupidly designed.
I hate unforgiving games, but I do enjoy watching the series. Hm.. will probably give it a miss, anyway. If it ever goes cheap, though, I may well pick it up.
Is £20 not cheap enough for you?
There are a lot of games I'd like over Buffy; so yes, in perspective, £20 is not cheap enough.
I enjoyed Buffy. Don't know if I would play through it again but whilst it lasted I thought it was a great game.
It is enjoyable yet very very hard.
I am going back through it at the moment with some cheats on. They rule!
:-D

The hardest bit is at the end when you have to go through the annoying 'maze' style area and every time you die you have to back to the start. Now that is VERY frustrating.

Yeap, and the randomness of the moves of the opponents. Sometimes you can stake them near straight away with some power, other times its just a bit too hard.

Can't say as I struggled too much in actual battles but it was more navigating through some of the more complicated environments without falling off and dying.
