Hiya,

CJ's off at the moment, but hold back those tears as the GAME newsletter this week is as good as ever.

Before he vanished he had time to get to grips with Buffy on Xbox to provide the definitive review of arguably the best title to hit the machine since Halo...


I have just quoted that from an email I just received, before commenting read the review from GAME! Visit here for more details!

scores from xgamer

Graphics: 8/10
Totally smooth and competent

Accessibility: 9/10
Plug and play, baby

Gameplay: 5/10
Initially good, but soon repetitive

Depth: 4/10
Whack stuff. Collect Tthings. Open doors.

TOTAL: 6/10
A sound but yawnsome affair. Fans will be coffin into their tea.

LOL, Ah yes, the comment I mae when I first came onto these forums! Although it was on the official Codemasters Website aobut easy programming for the Xbox I did exhaggerate it slightly, LOL, anyway yes poor graphics for both the PS2 and Xbox versions so I will be leaving that one well alone! As for Buffy, that will be my next Xbox title after I have purchased Shenmue 2 for the Dreamcast.

Poor graphics? On the mighty Xbox? Surely not! It's so easy to create games for, there's no excuse for such things... unlike that beastly PS2 thing that no-one can get to grips with!



See, I was right - it IS down to lazy developers! :-)

Not true! Read their Prisoner Of War one, they have a lot of negative comments about that and say to stick to other titles due to slow gameplay and poor graphics!

By the sounds of that review we are in for a very good title! I can't wait to get this now, I haven't ever doubted this game unlike some people *coughtitlawhirlcoughwookiecough* only kidding! I would like to see scores though for graphics, sound etc, IGN should have them soon!

From what I've seen, Buffy the game doesn't look that convincing. And I'm not surprised GAME gave it a positive review seeing they want to sell as many copies as possible.
