Buffy - Chaos Bleeds Gets Staked Out

Posted by simoniker on Saturday June 7, 2003 @04:49AM from the still-waiting-for-giles-spin-off dept.

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to a new Gamespot hands-on preview of Buffy The Vampire Slayer:Chaos Bleeds, and another hands-on preview at IGN. This Eurocom-developed follow-up to last year's The Collective-developed (and distinctly under-rated) Buffy The Vampire Slayer title for Xbox will, this time round, be available for Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox. IGN seems to think a lot of the title ("..even if you don't give a hoot about the Buffy universe, rarely does such a capable, well-rounded game come round that also retains a firmly established TV series at its core.") and Gamespot, though more reserved, also thinks it looks promising. And, of course, Buffy fans worldwide are salivating now they know Sid the dummy is a playable character.

Sid comes from the Season 1 episode "The Puppet Show" and is a ventriloquist's dummy in search of a demon who is harvesting organs.
Hmm, no Alyson Hannigan this time.also by EvilBastard · 2003-06-07 05:34 · Score: 4, Informative

Giselle Loren as Buffy Summers, but IMDB still lists Alyson Hannigan as doing her character's voice. I wonder how hard they'll try to hide it this time - I recall in the first game they listed Giselle Loren as "Other Voices", to try to misdirect people.

I found her attempt to do a "Buffyisms" the 2nd most annoying part of the game, beaten only by the textbook failure in game design that was the "Dream Level" which is where I abandoned the game at.
