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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaming goodness, 13 Aug 2004

By	Mr. M. F. Smart (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked the game up cheaply recently, not expecting much from it. I wrote it off a platformer (they're not my cup of tea). I was very, very wrong.
I don't exaggerate when i say, having just finished it, i found it the most rewarding gaming experience in a long time.
BGE is an adventure game, ala Zelda on the 64. Only, it incorporates gameplay elements from almost every popular genre of the past few years, and even brought back memories of games i played 10 years ago. Although mainly based around action and stealth, the game features a little RPGing, vehicle racing, free-roam exploring and puzzle solving, wrapped up in a quirky, but beautiul looking, story driven game, featuring some outrageous characters and genuinelly funny dialogue
There are a few niggles. I literally cruised through it in around 11 hours, due to it being a bit on the short side and the difficuly never being more than a little challenging. But these can also be plus points. It won't cause you to pull your hair out, or lose hours of your life to a game.
I let ICO slip through my fingers. Now i can't find a copy anywhere it. I thing BGE is going to be similar. I'm glad i've got my copy, and wouldn't sell it for the world. I'm looking forward to playing it again someday. highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very French, 10 Dec 2003

By	Mr. S. Price - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Remember Little Big Adventure and its sequel? Remember Alone In The Dark? It started the whole Resident Evil thing. Remember Flashback and Fade To Black? They have one thing in common apart from being great games and starting copy-cat franchises. They're all French, as is this game from Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman.

And it LOOKS French. It's very arty farty, as are the above games mentioned. It's in widescreen, the characters are bizarre mutations of present-day animals who have evolved into bipedal, intelligent lifeforms (they aren't CUTE). And its the best game I've ever played.

Which is a shame, because it's getting next to no hype. It's going to be dismissed as a roaming platformer in the style of Jax and Daxter (there are NO platforming bits in this game - at all). And it's much more than that. The characters are excellent, Pey'j has to be the best sidekick in gaming history. He gets kidnapped a quarter of the way through and you really do hope that nothing's happened to him, because you grow to love that guy!

The best gimmick of the game has to be the stealth elements. Instead of the camera going high so you can see your enemies, ala Metal Gear Solid, the camera goes right down low, virtually on the ground, making the stealth bits fun instead of a chore you have to get through to advance, as they are in other games.

Yes, this game's great, and it's not getting the attention it deserves. It's like Star Wars but with better acting. It sucks you in. And in HMV it only costs twenty quid on release! Top notch!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 1 Jan 2004

By	Ms. K. E. Gillings (Waterlooville, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is so nice to find a really good game! I've lost hours of my life to it already. The landscape is stunning, and you view the characters from so many perspectives. It's also nice just to be able to get on with the game - if you die, then you are returned back to the beginning of the fight, not back to your last save.
The characters also do lots of jumping and climbing on their own, so it's good that you don't have to spend half an hour just trying to jump from one place to another.
It seems really easy to play at the beginning, and the enemy is easy to kill, but that all changes later on.
Theres a side kick pig that goes most places with you, and you can interact with every other character too.
It really kept me interested and entertained - but it might not be for the die hard RPG players, but its great fun, and you get to drive a hovercraft too!
Go on - buy it!!!
