I know reviews of it are iffy in some places, good in others, but I enjoyed the first game, and despite stopping watching the tv series around season 5 after it turned into Beverley Hills 90210 crossed with the occult, I still wanted to get this game.
I'll post my opinion of it when/if it turns up in the morning.
Tis a shame they brought back the DEAD Sid the Dummy - the ventrilibloominwhassaname doll that had his soul free'd in one of the earlier series'. Why they had to bring him back is anyone's guess.
Presentation is much improved from the first game, and the real actors voices make a big difference. The game camera is not a problem, unlike OSM's review stated, and the comabt system has had a few changes which make it more intuitive and easier - one press of the black button whips out a stake :) So far I'm surprised how much difference there is between the characters I've seen in the opening level - Buffy, is well Buffy. Xander isn't as strong (obviously) and goes down more easily, Spike's really powerful, Willow is useless in fights but even her low level magic works well - fireball move sets the vamps on fire in one shot.
All in all well worth the 29.99 I paid for it, won't get game of the year, but it's fun.
