Buffy In Stores Now!
Vampires, demons and zombies beware! Electronic Arts and Fox Interactive today announced that Buffy the Vampire Slayer(TM) for the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft has staked out its place on store shelves. The game features action-packed combat, rich graphics, ghastly creatures and a myriad of elements that evoke the internationally successful TV hit series. Taking on the role of Buffy Summers, the leading heroine, fans of the TV series will enjoy progressing through the game, recognizing many familiar sights and sounds. Players will meet Buffy’s friends and foes at her typical hang outs, the Bronze Nightclub, the cemetery, Sunnydale High School and the library. The game features many of the same characters and voices on the TV series such as Angel, Xander, Willow, Spike and The Master. Players can learn more than 50 fighting moves and polish their "slayer" abilities to gain experience and power. Some of Buffy’s special abilities include: Martial Arts, Quick Healing, Slayer Sense, Super Jump, Speed, Strength, and Gymnastics. Players will need to master all these skills as they will be a key defense against foes that can learn Buffy’s fighting techniques and counter them with a few surprising attack moves of their own during intense slayfests. The game also casts an eerie spell on players using supernatural effects such as morphing creatures, dynamic fogging and arcane spell casting that enhance the dark, mythical setting.Source: http://www.xboxaddict.com/
