Joss Whedon's petite hunter of the living-impaired slays her way onto the Nintendo GameCube in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds from Vivendi Universal.

And Everything Nice

They say that girls are made of sugar and spice. In Buffy's case, sugar must have been replaced with nitroglycerin.

As the world's foremost vampire slayers, Buffy and friends must fight their way through wave after wave of undead pursuers. The story of Chaos Bleeds is based on a lost episode from season five of the TV series.

Gang of Five

The character models bear a striking resemblance to their real-world counterparts. During the course of your adventure, you will assume the role of Buffy, her Wiccan friend Willow, dopey good guy Xander, good vampire Angel and reformed vampire Spike.

Each character has his or her special abilities. For example, Buffy offers all-around combat skills, while Willow must rely on magic spells (and a lot of running).

Completing one area with a character enables you to continue the story with another.

The legions of Buffy faithful will be extremely pleased that the game does an excellent job of capturing the show's unique appeal. Although Whedon didn't write the script, you can still expect plenty of witty banter. It's difficult to say whether the characters are voiced by the series' original actors. If not, the voice actors have certainly done their research.

A Neck-Nibbling Good Time

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds is an entertaining romp filled with lots of kicks, punches and puzzles. Both action-gamers and fans of the show should greatly enjoy it.
