 Could've Been Better, But Not Bad May 25, 2005
Although the graphics are an improvement over the Gameboy Color Buffy game, I wasn't overly impressed by the gameplay in this new Buffy game for Gameboy Advance. Between levels, there is dialogue between the characters which are now real stills from the show, though just the same ones used over and over again. It's still an improvement over the drawn characters in the GBC Buffy game, but I was disappointed at the lack of characters. As with the last GBC Buffy game, there was no Spike (James Marsters), who happens to be my favorite character. In the stills, the only characters were Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, and Anya. Riley is in the game but only has a helpful character during boss battles. The bosses do include the Gentlemen and Adam from the show, as well as the new Darkhul King (who proved to be incredibly easy for being the ultimate bad guy in my opinion). br /br /One of the things that really threw me off about this game was the controls. They were quite awkward, and made for a somewhat frustrating gaming experience. For instance, to jump you have to use R1, which hard to use on a regular basis. Not to mention that there were alot of difficult jumps to perform in the game. This was very frustrating at times. The game was relatively short, with only 16 levels that are pretty short. The puzzles were ok, though seemed somewhat out of place at times. The music was repetitive and annoying, and not anywhere near as neat as the music on the show. I think if the makers would have spent just a little more time on this game, it could've been alot of more fun for fans. br /
Average November 27, 2004
Average game. Nothing speacial. Very fun for fans; not so much for not fans. Now all we need is an Angel game(i sure hope so)
 Buffy returns! April 13, 2004
Buffy is a great game! It has great weaponry, it has fantastic graphics, and the game uses real characters from the show! The only reason I cut a star is that it is very short, but when you play a game like this, you will want to play it over and over. My suggestion is if you are looking for fun, Buffy comes first!
 Worth a look for action or Buffy fans November 24, 2003

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King is essentially another licensed side scrolling beat 'em up that occasionally has something to do with the series it's based on through still cut scenes from the series and weapons that fans of the series will be familiar with. Taking place within the fourth season of the show, Buffy encounters hordes of vampires and demons, as well as the voice stealing Gentlemen and the cybernetic giant Adam among other baddies. The ability to combine weapons adds some variety to the game, but there are plenty of cons here. Jumping moves are very annoying to get ahold of, the puzzles are tedious, and if you can get through all that, you'll find that the game is actually a breeze to get through. The graphics are colorful, but nothing that pushes the GBA to it's limits. It's too bad that THQ didn't put more thought into designing this game, I for one would have enjoyed it if you could play as other characters than just Buffy; adding Xander, Willow, Riley, or even Giles would have been fun given each has different abilities, but oh well. All in all, this game is worth a look for fans of the series that own a GBA, but all others should leave this on the shelf.
