Beyond Good & Evil™

This game was awesome! Great story and gameplay, the music was genius, i listen it today too and then i can recognize the the feeling of game. I can't understand why were the sold statistics so bad. It's true, this game is different, not a typical adventure or action style, it's a very good mix! The world Hyllys is very detailed built, i love it!

From the dark undertone, to the gorgeous art, to the smooth flow of combat, to the tense stealth sections, this game has so much to offer. One of the most notable things is the incredible characterisation, most notably in Jade, the protagonist. She is one of the most memorable female protagonist in gaming, if not the most memorable. She´s surrounded by equally interesting characters like Uncle Pey´j and Double H, who (beside the riming names) are not only funny but also respectable and well crafted, both in their own way. If there has to be a single complaint about it it would have to be the inconsistency of the voiceacting, it isn´t bad, but it has it´s lacking moments. It isn´t anything really immersionbreaking nor anything that actually affects the feel as a whole, though it is something you will notice. As for the soundtrack, it is some of the greatest I have ever heard, it feels calm when it should, exciting when it should, and tence when it should, and it really delivers! I cannot express enough how well placed and well made the music is. It´s topnotch! I cant recommend this game enough, it is so incredibly well done and so memorable that I still find myself humming the songs or quoting the characters. Big thumbs up!

After hearing this game being praised highly for years, I decided to finally pick it up. It certainly didn’t disappoint. A lot of people who didn’t like this game seemed to have issues with the fact that the game seems to be tailored towards a younger audience. This is true to some extent, although it didn’t really bother me.The story and characters in the game reminded me of a pixar movie: it’s somewhat kiddy, but the game is nevertheless enjoyable for all ages. You play as Jade, a reporter trying to expose the truth about a corrupt government. The story isn’t particulary impressive, but compelling nonetheless. You’ll really start to care for the characters and you’ll want to know how the story ends. The graphics still hold up very well. The game has an original, 'cartoony' style, and it still looks very good today.I did, however, encounter some graphical glitches. Nothing gamebreaking, but annoying anyway. Some helpful support on the forums helped me reduce the glitchiness by a lot, but it never completely disappeared. Where the graphics and the story are decent, the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. It includes some basic video game theme, such as orchestral pieces to enhance the epic moments, and a solo piano piece that plays during the tear-jerking parts. The composer of the game’s soundtrack pulls these off very well, but also adds some unbelievably catchy songs that seems to be sung in either spanish or complete gibberish. I could barely make out any words, but the songs are real earworms, and I found myself yelling along pretty quickly. This great soundtrack also comes with the game, which is very nice. Lastly, there’s the gameplay, and BGE really shines in that department. You’ll perform different tasks in this game, and the vast majority of them are very fun to play. What’s most impressive however, is the sheer variety of the tasks you’ll perform. One moment you’ll be sneaking around a secret base trying to free a fellow reporter, another time you’ll fly above the sea in your hovercraft trying to take a picture of a whale, and at one point in the game you’ll find yourself playing some kind of SF version of air hockey against a talking shark (I shit you not). This way, you are unlikely to ever get bored. You’re in a rollercoaster, never doing something so long it gets boring, and always moving on to the next task. This makes BGE a very fun game to play. In short, Beyond Good and Evil is a game you should most likely get. If you want a deep, mature story, you might have to look elsewhere, but if you want to have some light-hearted fun in a beautiful fantasy world, this is a must-buy!

As said above you may experience drop of frames and desync of sound if you don't find the correct configuration for your computer, you may have to looks pages and forums for that. The gameplay is decent though there is no evolution in combat only in live upgrades, one charged attack your ship and the other machine you use. For ones you use the game currency founded everywhere for the second you have to collect "orbs". The game is short and the story is fast paced. Feels like half game was axed. The music is decent though you may hear one expecific one a little too much. There is charm in the main characters and a effort in the localization on different languages that can make you enjoy the good parts of the game. Overall it could have been better: a bad optimization and a rushed game feeling don't mix well.

I was playing happily until one day i came to play and i suddenly lost the pig IN GAME with no explanation or crashes or anything. Now i cant solve puzzles nor continue the game without restarting everything. Play it somewhere else!!!
