Rated X Suggestions

I've played this game before. I hated it and sold it quickly.

OMG it was so awesome Haha

My Rating:
Presentation- 7.5
This game has a rather basic, yet solid presentation, with the main menu, and the ability to go into levels which have already been beaten. The use of cutscenes frequently helps out the product.
Graphics-8
The graphics weren't their best, but they served their purpose. An example of these graphics was roaming through the school and seeing how lifely it looks, just like the real thing. Face models were prety damn accurate if I say so myself. They did look a little too animated and like sim characters at time, which was the downfall.

Sound-9
Sound was probably one of the best aspects of this game. Hearing a comment (although gets repetitive) from each character when they slay a vamp or get an object was always a welcomed addition which made the game feel more real. The slaying noises of vampires were also pretty cool. Other than the repetitiveness, it was great.

Gameplay-9
The controls are easy to master, and the combat system is up to par, making it a rather entertaining play.

Lasting Appeal- 9
This game is extremely good at keeping you occupied for a long while. The levels are long, tedious and I could barely pass some of them without using walkthroughs. In one level, there are so many things you need to collect, and you are constantly going back and forth in order to get to the next area. The addition of the multiplayer mode was also awesome, however was lacking in substance. The ability to cast spells now and play as different characters definantly advanced it than its predecessor.

Overall Rating- 8.5
The loading times are fast, and even if you aren't a BTVS fan you will still find enjoyment out of the deep storyline and combat system/amazing levels.

I've played that Buffy game, it was cool.

I really loved it. I got scared in certain levels too lol.

I liked 'Hunter: The Reckoning' way more. 'Obscure' was good too.

Never heard of it :/

I liked Willow the most too. I really enjoyed that Mall level because of her magical powers.

A game dating right back to the 90's era of videogames on the PS1 (where games were really great too). If you watched the show, you'd notice that the storyline in this game is one "out of the show" and was just made up, which is always a good decision, adding freshness to the product. Story revolves around her sidekick Gabrielle being kidnapped, in order to be sacrificed to the old one Kalibrax to bring a new world order.



Presentation- 7.5
The custscenes were really well implemented and furthered the storyline extensively. For a ps1 game, the cutscenes were really good, I thought. The 'before level' description was set out like each level was a Xena episode and gave a background description while it loaded. By the time you managed to read the description, the level had loaded, which was a nice touch.

Graphics-6.5
For a ps1 game at the time, it could've been visually better. The faces were off and some of the locations just looked iffy. But it served its purpose.

Sound-10
The sound follows the series terrificly, with action music, suspense music, all flowing at the right time, such as when an enemy attacks. The music really improved the entertainment of the game. The only downfall was the voice overs, but the lady who portrayed Xena sounded veyr like to Lucy Lawless, so all is good.

Gameplay-7.5
Good for its time, just lacked some proper controls- were a bit stiff at times. Liked the added weapons such as lightning sword, super chakram etc. The Chakram throwing could've been implemented better, as most of the time was annoying, other than using it to spy lol.

Lasting Appeal- 8

The game lasts a while as the levels are rather challenging at points. Being a fan of Xena, I enjoyed replaying the game over and over.

Overall Rating- 8
