Has there been an up-to-date playable demo of this anywhere recently?

Been playing Buffy today. Its an excellent game, and a must buy for any fan of the show.

Heres a little extra for people who have the game. Go to the Extras screen and press Y(2 times), white, Black(2 times), Y(5 times), white, black. Then a list of 4 Arenas will appear. These are just fighting areas, to activate monsters press the Y button on the circles on the ground. I dont know if you can actually get this mode by completing the game. You get to fight the EVIL Buffy on Arena 2, and tons of weird monsters on the 1st one.

Buffy's a right romp.
Reminds in many ways of Max Payne except with fisticuffs.
I'm up to the Docks, and so far it's been fast-paced and totally enjoyable - (unlike Turok Evolution).

Graphics are solid - nothing spectacular - but the game has a good atmosphere that recreates the TV series.
The fighting is meaty and quite addictive - you look forward to the vamps attacking instead of dreading it.
The level design is linear, but for this type of game that's how it should be.

It might be a bit swallow for some - beat up vamps and solve simple puzzles - but it's a fun game, and It's made me jump a couple of times when enemies suddenly attacked.

Verdict: it's like the TV series - if you don't take it too seriously, it's "likeable & enjoyable".

Played Buffy today in store. Its ok.

Visuals are great. Love being the slayer. She should wear more revealing stuff though.

I brought Resident Evil instead. I AM NEVER PLAYING THAT AGAIN ALONE AT THIS TIME.

That was a bad mistake.

I got that today, but no Buffy, should get it tommorow from SR. Resident Evil is amazing, alot different than the PS1 version.

I've never heard anything bad about SMG - in fact, only good things. Saw the Buffy thing with Richard Blackwood a while ago, and she seemed really nice - friendly and bubbly.

Anyway, I *nearly* bought the game today - but didn't. I exchanged Sudden Strike 2 for Mafia under Game's 10-day returns thingy, and picked up Resident Evil for GC. Along with not yet having completed Stuntman, I figured I have enough to keep me busy for now... might ask for it for Xmas though.
