Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
In Beyond Good & Evil the vast, peaceful planet of Hyllis has fallen under siege by a relentless alien race. After a desperate struggle to defend her island, a Hyllian named Jade collapses in exhaustion - only to be tormented by disturbing visions. Despite public assurances that the planet has been secured, Jade begins to suspect that there's more to these invasions than the government has disclosed. When a rebel organization reinforces her doubts, Jade begins a harrowing journey to get to the core of the conspiracy.
Armed with her camera, aikido staff, and resolute investigative skills, Jade sets out to expose the truth and to liberate the minds of her deceived people. Pushed to the very edge of her physical and spiritual will, she soon discovers that even these limits are not what they seem... Her quest for the truth knows no bounds.

I'd been waiting for another adventure game to come out ever since I'd completed The Wind Waker, and I have to admit, I wasn't particularly that bothered by Beyond Good and Evil when I first saw it. I'd just dismissed it as average before I'd even been bothered to take a closer look, but my naivety soon wore off as word of mouth (from the Ps2 release) soon made me take notice. I soon couldn't wait for it's XBOX release and promptly got it the day it came out, and have been playing non stop ever since.
The game is full of imagination and details which ensure you never get bored. Unlike The Legend Of Zelda, most of the characters have splendid voice-acting behind them, albeit only during the cinematic cut scenes, and occasionally during the course of the game, but it all gives the game a great feel, rather than just going through the motions.
The graphics are wonderful, the storyline is better than expected, the fighting is ok (it boils down to bashing A but the way in which the character bounces about is pretty cool). Everything about the game is class, from your talking pig uncle Pey'J, to the Jamaican Rhino Mechanics to lining up the perfect snapshot of an animal (your characters proffession is a journalist).The fact that game is so well put together, and the many genres seamlessly woven into a beautiful game is a shame, just because it's just a bit short. I managed to finish it in about 11 hours, just on the basics. But never mind, its cheap, fantastic looking, entertaining, and if I'm being totally honest, I preferred this to The Wind Waker. Unmissable.

I picked this up for a penny short of a £20 note & was absolutley delighted to discover a well made, highly amusing and entertaining gem of a game that has made many an hour go past without any conscious thought for food or drink. An eclectic effort with elements that draw from a multitude of genres (Platform, shooting, puzzle, racing, etc) bound with a sense of humour and garnished with eye pleasing graphics. The characters are well rounded (particularly the pig) and provoke a weird sense of caring for the "home team".
Some say it's too short, some may say the camera work can be a bit erratic (although I felt it was better than most) but I would have been happy with it even at full price.
Discover the world through the lens of the strange - a pearl of a game.

I really enjoyed this, and I didn't think that I was going to.
The graphics could have been better, but are up to the standard. The animation is superb, and this more than compensates for any lack of quality.
The sound is well implemented and used effectively although there is no voiceovers for most of the conversations with NPCs.
Stealth elements play a strong part of the game, and fortunately the control and also the camera make this more enjoyable than things can be in other games.
The quests are largely well thought out, and the side games are more than an adequate diversion to the main story, where they do not compliment it perfectly. The comic moments/characters are used well and help the story and the cutscenes seem like welcome breaks rather than intrusions to the game.
Like I say; I really enjoyed it.
