Starting at Sunnydale High you’re playing as Xander and you have to try and find Casandra’s arm. Start by killing a few vamps and zombies before moving into the school after picking up some stakes and a shovel.

Find a flash light then through the corridor to the other room where I got attacked by a load of goblins who were soon disposed of with a few well times swings of the shovel, pick up a Dictaphone and head out the room and up the corridor. Few vamps to kick in and find that the ways ahead are blocked by tentacles, notice an intercom that asks for a password.

So I go up the stairs to the next floor, find a UV filter and head back to the classroom. It reveals a word on the white board, back down to the intercom to realise I can’t pronounce the word. So I enter a room near the intercom and find a PC which allows me to record the word onto the Dictaphone. Use it on the intercom and one set of tentacles disappears so I head through the door to find a force field blocking my way.

I entered the room to the left and was attacked by more goblins which I clobbered with a baseball bat I’d found. Then pick up a magic hat and use it. A rabbit is pulled from it and dropped on the pentagram I stood on. Find a sign that says that if you mix certain colours you get a weapon. Find a few other bits in a door way, as well as a pool cue and computer disk.

Up the stairs to a PC and get a computer code, back down to Snyders office and collect a Library cage key, which I use, then deposit a rabbit from the hat on the pentagram.

Find a few more pick up including blue ammo, and a fumigation bomb and head down to the basement, turn on the steam and put a rabbit on pentagram. Head back out to where I started to find a goblin hiding in a pipe so I throw the fumigation bomb in and batter the goblin when he comes out, then put rabbit on pentagram.

Back to the place where the bird bath is and fill the pump gun after killing a few more vamps. Use the pump-gun on the tentacles blocking the door at the top of the stairs. Kill a vamp and put a rabbit pentagram.

Now a boss battle against Evil Anya in the Gym. Which requires you to avoid her blasts, drop rabbits on three pentagrams, which weakens her enough to give her a good thwacking with a weapon. Then goblins appear and destroy the rabbits so you have to repeat the process whilst killing the goblins, until I died.

Nice and easy the second time round though. Cut scene then end of level with 3 extras unlocked. Switch off @ 22:20.

Starting as Faith outside an old Quarry, loads of vamps to dust when I find some stakes, dusting takes no time. Then I can’t work out what to do and fall into the green sludge.

Start again and have to dust the bloody vamps all over again and realise that there’s a bookcase that can be moved in the shed, this leads to a tunnel.

Two more vamps to dust and find a shovel, kill a few more and push barrels under the lift, find some dynamite and run around aimlessly after trying it on the ‘do not explode’ sign which for some reason works the second time?! This causes a huge flood which pushes the lift up to the next floor coz the controls are broken.

Find another room containing more TNT, then into a corridor that has stairs that lead down. The first doors blocked by water so I head downstairs and find a room with a beam in the centre use the TNT and the water drains from the floor below. Back up the stair and through the now unblocked door and onto a bridge dusting as I go. Enter a room with a big machine and cause the coal to drop and set it alight with a hellfire. Head up the tunnel and launch a mine cart, kill a few zombies and back up the tunnel and tip the mine cart to find an Emblem.

Which I use on the door, which lets me into a mansion which I run round killing things for a bit then find a lighter which I use on a fire and head upstairs to the room directly above the fire, smokes coming out of one of the brick so I press it which unlocks a door.

Through the door, more dusting and find a spanner which I use on the light fitting causing it to drop.

Back down the stairs and through the hole to face Kathkistos (not spelt right I’m sure). Collecting the two heath packs on the way.

Now this boss was hard and took me a lot of goes before I fully sussed out how to kill him. He’s got a load of zombies as minions and three orbs. Ignore the zombies and the boss and just run around to the nearest orb that looks different to the rest. This means you can hit it and change it a different colour from blue, to yellow, red and then finally vanish. This has to be done on all three orbs before you attack the boss otherwise he just recovers his health. It takes awhile to get the knack of it and I only managed just to kill him with the most minimal of health left. A cut-scene and 3 extras unlocked.

Now starting as Spike falling down a lift shaft. Collect a load of stakes and start killing as I go and notice Spike’s got a decapitation move. Find a room with a PC in it kill vamps and break open locker finding a health pack. Use the PC to open main doors and head through them killing more beasties on the way. Set off a cut-scene coz of stepping through a trip wire. Enter room passed the fallen bodies, punch a NO2 tanks, which shows up trip wires. I fail coz I set off one of the trips wire and free one of the super soldiers. Then fail again for the same reason. Third time lucky I managed it and into a room with another PC and more vamps, use PC and open door. Back out of the room and through the now open door, find another PC in a server room, then a laptop in a meeting which gives information on how to shut down the Cyborgs. Back out the way I came and through another door where I find some E.M.P. grenades, then out the room and to another where I find some Sentry guns (via a cut-scene). I stupidly walk straight into them and get gunned down. Back to that point, after restarting in the laptop room and I throw a grenade into the room which shuts the guns down. Find an ammo clip and head back down to the big room with the jeep in it. Load the clip and a bit of machine gunning of beasties as they enter before blowing up the tank. Through the opening created by the explosion and up in a lift. A room with loads of sealed rooms which can be switched. Use a grenade on cyborg and use switches, cyborg is only stunned for a short while. And soon kicks my arse. Retry, I decide to ignore the cyborg and just opening the doors, find a severed head and kill the beasties in the rooms, use the head on the retinal scanner and head out of the room leaving the cyborg. More beasties to kill a health pack to collect and more grenades, then up to the ‘Birthing room’?! Stun ‘borg and use PC, stun again and use the PC, which deactivates the ‘borgs, thankfully.

Now out the door to face a boss battle with Adam.

Now this was really blood difficult, and I decided to stop playing at 01:43 on 21/03/2006, but decide to have one more go which leads to about another 7. The trick to it seems to be that you need to run around killing the zombies, to get health back and ignore Adam until he goes to throw a barrel. When he’s holding it above his head, throw an E.M.P. grenade at him this causes the barrel to drop on his head and his energy goes down. Now avoid him and if he tries to fire bullets at you use either the dip in the centre of the room or use the railing for cover. It takes ages for him to go to the next barrel and you have to be close enough to hit him with a grenade. I finish it and get 1 extra unlocked by 02:30
