The Emperor

Intriguing but flawed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2010

Verified Purchase

A very interesting mix of genres. At first I really loved it but it does have quite a few flaws. It can be extremely frustrating at times and the camera view is a real letdown.

"Safe and sound in its shell, the precious pearl is the slave of the currents." - Important quote employed in this video game

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2015

Released in 2003 as the Irak War and its propaganda intoxicated worldwide medias, especially in America where government leaders encouraged soldiers and Americans to be patriotic and defend their country; or else society would label them as anti-Americans, "Beyond Good and Evil" came out during this troubling war frenzy and terrorist witch-hunt.

Although the game had started its production years before that political turmoil, its storyline took a stronger and more serious actuality as events in our reality unfolded.
A story involving Jade, a freelance photographer-reporter who takes care of orphan children whose parents were victims of the Domz. Aliens that have declared War through the galaxy and started to attack Hyllis, Jade's planet. Soon after the game starts, Jade receives a new reporting contract that develops into something more political. A deal that asks her to go through borders beyond what the press is propagandizing to the Hyllians; into the Alpha Sections quarters, a military division that is supposed to defend them. Uncovering a truth that hurts and which she must expose to the population, along with who are the real heroes and allies in the Domz War. Ending with a twist that reveals another secret.

Although the game is in English, it can be played in many languages. In particular French, which I decided to use as the game was done in France and because it also offered an excellent voice casting of people I recognized in French cartoons and Anime adaptations (ex: Cybersix, Macross Plus). In her work, Emma de Caunes, who plays Jade, is perfect as her voice offers the maturity and emotion the character deserves.

Done by the creator of Rayman, this video game offers mature and very moving storytelling where players feel like watching a clever tv series/movie that is not gratuitous. A story that asks questions about the War, but also tackles and condemns medias like CNN, Fox, BFMTV, LCN, CTV, CBS, ABC, Fox, and others who propagate rubbish during troubling time periods. Making money out of our fears and collaborating with those whom they shouldn't be doing business with. As such, this game is a smart product that makes gamers think and question. Which is nice as most video games unfortunately don't offer that opportunity and are mostly offered as punching bags to decompress on.

In its visuals, the characters' design is like a cartoon and wonderful to look at, especially in its mechanical designs as some wonderful machines are used by the main characters. As for the monsters, their frightening aspect is quite convincing for players who start the first time and want to replay it again. In its gameplay, the game is adventure-action-stealth, which means that some situations require stealth moving through guarded locations. Puzzle environments that one must use clever strategies to pass through enemies and security devices. Beyond Good and Evil also offers mini-games where players can photograph different species around Hyllis, collecting specific key items I will not name, items that can, and must, be collected in other non-linear stealth levels around the capital. Ones that if played accordingly go along with the plot's development.

As for Christophe Heral's soundtrack, I found it quite memorable in its mix of genres (orchestral, hip-hop, oriental,etc) and I wish they could have released it as an album.

In conclusion, this underperformed, but critically lauded, game is now reoffered to us in a Download opportunity (PC, XBOX, and Playstation) as its original release gave less sales than expected. Maybe because of its political content in a very tense time period, or because Beyond Good and Evil was released during the 2003 Christmas holidays, time period where players preferred to buy the latest franchise games, like a certain Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time that Ubisoft had released simultaneously with Beyond Good and Evil, overshadowing Jade's story and becoming the game of the year.
But stealing from Beyond Good and Evil part of the success this game deserved and still deserves. For instance, its sequel that is still in production, according to what I've heard and read.

The Five Sisters

Fabulous!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2008

Beyond Good and Evil is an adventure game with some simple fighting, some great stealth sections and puzzle solving, and a fair amount of (mainly optional) racing in a hovercraft. There's also a lot of photography and you get to fly a space ship! The storyline is simple but engrossing. The graphics aren't cutting edge, but they're perfectly acceptable, and the animation and characterization of the main characters are extremely well done (the secret agent, Double H, was my absolute favourite). The dialogue is relatively sparse, but what there is, is well written. The music and sound effects deserve special mention with very different themes in different areas and appropriate music at emotional moments (of which there are a few).

There are a few issues. The camera occasionally goes crazy, as do the controls, and there are a few points where I had to have multiple tries to progress. On the other hand, I wouldn't class myself as a skilled gamer, nor are my reflexes very fast! The save points are at computers within the actual game. This is a bit irritating if you want to save your game at a given point, but there is a generous checkpoint system. If you die you are respawned very close to your previous point with a sufficient amount of health that you won't be killed again instantly. In fact, the only reasons to save in game are to protect against crashes and if you want to end your playing session. Finally, I did try playing this on a machine with Vista installed, but had problems with the sound and video being out of sync. There may well be a solution to this, but in the end I played it with no problems on an XP machine.

I had a huge amount of fun playing this game. At its current price you can't really go wrong. I've also just heard that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in the pipeline - I can't wait!
