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!

> I've never expected Buffy to be anything else but mediocre.
good to see someone agrees with me on this on...remember this is only a personal opinion...i'm actually ALL FOR IT BEING GREAT!
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.
in the forums there apparently xgamer have a review of it...and they gave it a BAD review

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!
