The Magic Box, 3 secrets,
You start as Buffy who has to fight vampires, you can choose to pick up objects off the shelves such as hell fire in a bottle which will cause damage to any creature you throw them at or holy water which will really hurt or even dust vampires.
Then you play as willow whose objective is to find Kraus's compendium and to kill some vampires in the store front of the magic shop. The book has a spell in it, you'll learn the Sun Spell (X X Square). There are secrets which are special objects such as a med kit for example.
Then you play as Xander in the work out room. The objective in here is to kill the vampires and collect the weapons to take to the front of the shop to help buffy.
Then you play as Spike in the basement whose objective is to rescue Tara and Anya who are trapped.
Lastly you play as Buffy while Willow and Buffy work together to kill the remaining vampires.

Level 1 overview:
As it is the first level it is fairly easy. My favorite character to play is Willow as I love doing the fireballs. We meet the lovely (haha) zombies during Spikes level who are pitifully easy to kill. At the end of the level we find out that Kakistos is behind the attack.

Cemetery, 5 secrets,
This level you play as Buffy. As you enter the cemetary you meet your old friend Sid the dummy who is on your side. Your objective is to patrol the cemetary for signs of Kakistos while killing the vampires and zombies. There are sundial pieces that you need to collect but I wont tell you where they are HAHA. As Buffy travels the cemetary she faces many many vampires and zombies
This level has a monster at the end Kakistos. He casts a spell and threatens to bring the dead back to life including Buffys mother who is buried there. You objective now is to kill the zombies while smashing up the massive orb. You work alongside Spike who has woken up and decided to help.

Level 2 overview
I like the return of horny dummy Sid. It's also a fairly easy level in terms of demons. But a first timer at the game might get abit mixed up. The point of this level isn't to kill Kaksitos but to stop his resurrection spell.

Blood Factory, 3 secrets,
Willow and Tara perform a spell under the watchful eye of Xander but the spell goes wrong and all they have is stinky smoke. To make matters worse we uncover a new character Ethan Rayne. He arranges Tara to get kidnapped. Xander and Willow separate while Xander goes to free the hostages Willow goes off in search of Tara.
Firstly you play as Xander whose objective is to rescue the hostages. The first hostage is a conveyer belt you have to stop the machine before the girl dies. As you carry on through the level you have to rescue the hostages while killing the vampires and the newly introduced spider demons. Id recommend that you be careful though as one of the "hostages" you try to rescue turns out to be a vampire. The last person that you need to rescue is trapped in a cage in a room with a vampire, make sure you kill the vampire then set the hostage free otherwise the hostage will become lunch. Next you play as Willow and you end up in a massive room and vampires attack. Kill the vampires and search the room as there is a secret hiding somewhere. This level you learn to new spells X Square X which is a homing spell and X Square the shield spell. The end of this level you have to protect Tara from Ethans attacks.

Level 3 overview
This is a good fairly easy level but the end was disappointing I was expecting a better fight from Ethan.

The Magic Box Revisited, 2 secrets,
We play as Buffy in this level. The gang are back in the magic box and discuss what has happened. Giles disappears into the basement and then Kakistos reappears and threatens Gile's life. Your first objective is to find Giles and make sure he is OK. When Buffy finds Giles he is trapped by two statues that have been brought to life, her objective changes to find Bibeau's Compendium and return it to Giles as it has the remedy to kill the gargoyles. When Buffy returns the book to Giles her objective changes again to locate the gorgon venom and use it to make gorgon stakes. Lastly Buffy has to escort Giles to safety.

Level 4 overview
The level is harder than it's previous levels. I enjoyed playing this level the gorgons were fun to kill.

Downtown Sunnydale, 3 secrets,
In alternative reality downtown Sunnydale the gang have been transported. They are dotted around and have to be rescued by Buffy. You play as Buffy and have to explore Sunnydale your objective is to find and rescue your friends. Willow is stuck in the cinema. Spike is in the pub. Xander is stuck in the garage. Faith is trapped in a bank vault. Then your objective is to go back to the magic box.

Level 5 overview
I enjoyed this level as there is more to do on this level. There are loads of monsters to kill. Which is always fun.

Sunnydale Hospital, 1 secret,
This level our main objective is to find Cassandras eyes. You play as Buffy and Sid the dummy. When you first get to the hospital you have to fight the vampires while protecting Sid from attacks. Next you play as Sid whose objective is to clear a blockage so that Buffy can go through. Next you play as Buffy you have to explore the offices and have to kill the demons. Next you play as Sid whose objective is to blow up a passageway so that Buffy can continue. At the end of the level you have to protect Sid from the zombies while he finds Cassandras eyes.

Level 6 overview
Yay finally get to play as Sid who is remarkably good at fighting for a dummy. The usual enjoyment of killing vampires and other demons is always fun.

Sunnydale High School, 2 secrets,
This level you play as Xander. Oh dear he is back at high school. Which is infested by lovely looking demons (HAHA). The main objective is to retrieve Cassandra's arm. The first objective is to find the password to get past the hall monitor. Then you have to find a way to get rid of the force field which involves placing a rabbit in some pentacles. When you reach the gym you have place a bunny on all the pentacles to make anyanka lose her powers then attack her while she is grounded.

Level 7 overview
I love this level as I love the twist of using bunnies to help you to defeat Anyanka. That was funny.

The Quarry House, 3 secrets,
This level you play as faith looking for kakistos. Her only objective is to find Cassandras leg. Faith explores the land and the house by the quarry in her search for Kakistos.

Level 8 overview,
I found this so hard. Its got a lot to it as a level and then you get to end. Kakisots is really hard to kill but not impossible..

The Initiative Base, secrets 4,
Now it's Spikes turn. The overall objective is to retrieve Cassandra's leg. Spikes first objective is to avoid contact with the cyborgs until he finds a weakness. The cyborgs are tough and the worse you can do to them is hit them with a bomb that has a electrical impulse that screws up the cyborgs. The next objective is to deactivate the cyborgs using the mainframe computer. The big baddie to defeat on this level is Adam.

Level 9 overview,
Theres nothing special about this level just the enjoyment of Spikes sarcasm.

Sunnydale Mall, secrets 3,
This level you play as Willow. Her objective is to get Cassandra's arm. You start on the bottom floor of the mall and of course the vampires attack straight away. As she explores the mall she is attacked by many vampires. But her worse fears come true when she finds out who she has to fight an evil vampire Tara.

Level 10 overview,
I always enjoy playing as Willow as I enjoy using the spells. I found Tara fairly easy to kill.

Sunnydale Zoo, secrets 3,
This level you play as Buffy. The objective is to retrieve Cassandra's torso. They have evil demonic gorillas on top of vampires. The baddie at the end of this level is Buffy's worse nightmare evil Giles also known as Ripper.

Level 11 overview,
Apart from the good, powerful moves that Buffy has which is always fun when kicking but in the game. The demonic gorillas are ace.
The First's Lair, secrets 3,
This level you play as Buffy. The gang are together with all the parts of Cassandra's body. Cassandra appears and decides that it is Buffy who should kill the first. The objective is to find hopes dagger then kill the first with it.
Level 12 overview,
I tried but I found it hard. Overall a fun level to play.

This is an excellent must have for all Buffy fans. I hope I didn't give away too much for all you possible buyers out there. The graphics are excellent when you kill the demons. This is extremely playable and addictive Ive played it many, many times. This is highly recommended.
