One of my favorite games of all time. I remember my tradition as a kid was going to Movie Gallery on Halloween and renting this to play on Halloween night. The moody music, campy one liners, and solid combat that still really holds up today always keep me going back to this classic. I own on the OG Xbox and that's where it's stuck because it was an exclusive. We need GOG to preserve this, but I'm sure licenses are an issue. PLEASE GOG!!

Never watched the show when it originally aired. I had seen the movie, thought it was dumb and never bothered with the TV show. Rented this game upon a recommendation from a friend and really enjoyed the game. After being told the game was based off the TV show and not the terrible movie, I then watched the show. Liked both. Voice overs in the game were from the actors from the show, with the exception of Sarah. I forget who they got to replace her, but she did very well.
First game I got for the OG xbox and as a fan of the show, I cannot TELL you how good this game is, The Collective, the studio behind this and Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb knew what they were doing. The graphics were great and still hold up today, the combat was fluid, you have a slayers handbook full of special moves and a massive arsenal, you get to partake in scooby meetings in the library, fight icons like the Master, the dreamers, Angelus, Spike, the enemy variety is plentiful, getting to stake a vamp is so satisfying. the soundtrack scratches every itch and overall it's replayable. AND it's better than buffy: Chaos bleeds, don't get me wrong, I love chaos bleeds but the OG is the definitive slayer experience.
I love Buffy the show. And I never played the game ever. The 2002 game is awesome. I only watched the gameplay but I wanna play it. Like Buffy is such an icon and a legend show when we had VHS tapes. LETS GO BUFFY!
Love Buffy The Vampire Slayer show. i never actually got the chance to play any of the buffy games. and barely anyone is voting. i really want this game. i have hope that it will come to GOG. I am really hoping :(.
This was one of the best TV show tie-in games ever. Great story, easy controls and most of the original cast doing voice overs. Whilst many tie-in games feel rushed or fall short, this game oozed quality and was clearly developed by a team who cared about the end product.
Those games also need your vote!

Twilight Syndrome Tansaku-hen
Twilight Syndrome Tansaku-henEvery high-school has its own dark secrets. Well, maybe not every; but in Japan, this seems to be a rather popular theme. Mysterious disappearances, ghostly photographs, untimely deaths, eerie sounds coming out of the music room - all these things attract the curiosity of three high-school girls: Yukari, Mika, and Chisato. At night, armed with nothing but a flashlight, the trio of heroines enters the dark school building, prepared to explore every corner, and investigate every urban legend they have heard of... Tansaku-hen opens the Twilight Syndrome horror adventure series, defining its stylistic traits and gameplay. The game is divided into chapters, each dedicated to a particular "ghostly" story. Unlike most Japanese-style adventures, there is physical character navigation in the game; the player moves digitized images of the three girls on 2D backgrounds, in a manner somewhat similar to side-scrolling games - though many areas feature a third dimension, like in Western third-person perspective adventures. The gameplay consists of two activities only: walking and occasionally choosing a dialogue option and/or action, as prompted by the game's narrative. There is no other kind of interaction, no inventory, and no combat. Different choices may lead to different endings; the next chapter can be accessed only if the player has not attained the "bad" ending. Twilight Syndrome: Tansaku-hen abandons the nearly omnipresent anime/manga graphical style of Japanese games in favor of digitized images and photos of real people.

Twilight Syndrome Kyuumei-hen
Twilight Syndrome Kyuumei-henThe gameplay in this sequel is identical to that of the previous entry: the player navigates the digitized images of the girls over 2D backgrounds in a side-scrolling/third-person perspective manner, searching for clues, triggering scenes, and choosing responses and/or actions when prompted by the narrative. It consists of six independent scenarios, and the numbering of the scenarios is a continuation from the previous title.

Twilight Syndrome Saikai
Twilight Syndrome SaikaiThe story of Twilight Syndrome: Saikai focuses on four Japanese teenagers: Yuri, her sister Masa, and their friends Atsushi and Aya. It all begins when the youngsters hear rumors about spirits contained in the school building. At night, Yuri and her friends go into the school and play a spirit-summoning game. Suddenly, real ghosts appear and scare the teenagers away. The next day, Yuri is almost ready to believe it was all a dream... but naturally it wasn't. The dark secrets of the lost souls are going to be revealed only to those which possess a special sense - the Twilight Syndrome.. The third entry in the Twilight Syndrome series is also a horror adventure, sharing most gameplay elements with its predecessors. The gameplay here is very minimalistic: the player can navigate the 3D models of the heroes (several characters can be controlled at once, as a group) through the limited areas (also rendered in 3D), searching for clues and escaping from danger. There is no other interaction, no usable items, and no combat. Dialogue and action choices will pop out during many situations. Some of these choices do not influence the narrative, while others might change the following dialogue, and also lead the young heroes to premature death. An additional gameplay mode (beside the story mode) is free-roaming exploration for Yuri, who can explore the school and its surroundings at night and gather more stories from the ghosts she encounters.
