Cute lines, fun combat variety, and great recreations of Sunnydale are hampered by often frustrating to the point of baffling puzzles, harsh checkpointing, and confusing level designs. Worth playing for the Buffy devotee, and definitely some good here - an extensive array of extras, and a dedicated multiplayer mode are inessential so inherently welcome surprises - but it feels a little like cookie dough - lovely, but a little more baking required. But I got to fight vampires as Spike and Faith, so can't all be bad.
