For centuries, the planet Hillys has been bombarded by a relentless alien race. Sceptical of her government's inability to repel the invaders, a rebellious action reporter named Jade sets out to capture the truth. Armed with her camera, dai-jo staff and fierce determination, she discovers shocking evidence leading to a horrific government conspiracy and is forced to battle an evil she cannot possibly fathom.
Join the Rebellion as action reporter Jade, join an underground resistance group and expose your government's secrets using stealth, force and wits. Stop at nothing until your people know the truth. Expose the Conspiracy. Enter a futuristic world full of deception, where nothing is as it seems and exposing the truth is the only hope of restoring freedom.
The opening moments of Beyond Good and Evil will forever be burned in my memory.
As Jade stood up against the invading Domz, Dai-Jo staff in hand; guttural chants heavily juxtaposed with angelic cries in the background music. A moment of awe-inspiring beauty as time slows to a crawl, emphasising Jade’s bravery and protective nature with each slow-mo strike. I was instantly gripped and would go on to 100% the game many hours later.
Beyond Good and Evil is bursting with character and originality. From Jade herself, to her uncle Pey’j, to the world of Hillys. A world that is suffering under the rule of the Alpha Sections as its inhabitants continue to mysteriously disappear. The integrity of the Alpha Sections is put under scrutiny by the IRIS Network, who recruit Jade for a bit of ‘investigative journalism’ and as she delves deeper behind the scenes, she discovers that the Alpha Sections may not be prioritising the protection of the civilians of Hillys.
Jade’s investigation requires her to utilise her proficient combat skills, as well as a fair amount of stealth to nab evidence against the Alpha Sections. Aside from the story, there’s a great deal of enjoyment to be had in exploring the wonderful environment to capture images of Hillys’ wildlife. Regular hovercraft races make for an exciting distraction, as well as the many side-missions that are made available as you progress. Some of these are incredible set pieces that manage to recreate the quality of the introduction.
Thankfully, the recent HD remake will bring more attention this cult classic. Way ahead of its time and crying out for a sequel that we hope to see more of soon. Get it here, get it on XBLA...just make sure you play it!
The Game is just great, awesome, gorgeous, ingenious...a thousand words couldn't express it...you just gotta see and feel it...
Somehow it went below my radar when it was released. Thx GOG for this treausre!
The world needs more games like this where you can feel that it received love by the people who created it.
This is a great game, which is best described as an action-adventure/stealth game. It is an action-adventure in the Zelda vein. The unique aspects of this game include the multiple ways one can get past certain areas and the AI partners whom work well and are put to good use in this game. The game has great puzzles and story as well. In this game you will fight aliens, solve puzzles, sneak past aliens, take pictures of enemy intel, take pictures of endangered species, and explore a rich (though admittedly not vast) world. The only flaw in this game is that for the type of game this is, it is somewhat short.
I bought this game on GOG based on it's reviews, and I most certainly do not regret it. Have a look on the internet, as I did, and most likely you will find that this game is very well spoken off, but sold poorly. It's odd but it happens, and you will do well in believing the good word about it. I for one am a guy who's been playing games ever since I was 5, being 23 now, and I like to know about games of different genres, and what goes around on the market in general. I say this, because there are games I've heard about, but not played, and this is the opposite: It's unknown but great.
Utter personal qualification aside, here's something to know about it if you're deciding. The gameplay is similar to the Zelda games, a comparison often made because the games are dated nearly in the timeframe. For the most part you control Jade as she is on foot, but there are distinctive elements depending on where you are. On some places, you can fight straight up, with a simple but fun combat system; on others, you have to stealth around, using line of sight mechanics to pass by. In some cases, you don't have to stealth all the way, you can defeat the sentries while they're not looking. There are also race tracks, where you use a hovercraft as a vehicle, and a part later on where you use a spaceship. The game allows itself to continue fresh throughout by changing the gameplay sightly like that. There are no difficulty levels, and overall it is easy, though there are parts where one may be stuck a bit. However, not too much, and there is not much grief in trying over again. The learning curve is smooth, as the gameplay is rather simple. There are also some mini-games!
There are elements of scavening hunting, that you can go after if you want full completion of the game, but are not entirely necessary for the development of the plot. That gives some room for exploration, although for the most part the game is linear. That, in the end, is not at all bad because the plot is well constructed, and it was seen as a necessity to develop it, being pretty much one of the best allures of this title. The characters matter, the songs make you feel involved with the feelings at hand, and it there is a nice twist in the story. Proof of that: One of the cutscenes made me cry. Damnable damnsels in distress! The graphics here if compared to nowadays would make it even easier to convey the emotion, but even with what you see in the pictures, their faces move enough to make you understand. It's the little things, like Jade laughing after beating another player at a mini-game, or your companions becoming ecstatic about winning a race.
One detail that could be seen as a drawback is that the game is relatively short, especially for when it was launched. There are at about 15 hours of play, which can vary, of course, if you want to find all the itens, likes to explore, etc.
All can't ever be roses, so to be fair, there are some issues I had. Mainly with the controls and the camera, that oftentimes turned to its whim, especially in narrow crawling spaces, and made me be seen by the sentries, or go back to the room I just came. Also, it was sometimes hard to steer the hovercraft. Maybe it's me though and lack of practice, but the camera sometimes didn't help. If you buy it on GOG, be sure to read the readme that comes, because even tough your computer is probably more advanced than the needed to run the game, the screen may tear and become all unstable with some o the functions on. Should that happen, unmark the fancy graphic settings and try again.
End result: A game that costs little here in GOG, that has a great plot, a neat universe to check out, different gameplay modes that work, and a sense you played a masterpiece.
"Carlsooooon and Peteeeeeeers!!!!" - Buy it, play it, understand it!
I bought this game, spent hours playing it, was really enjoying it. Near the end of the game the audio cuts out during what appears to be a crucial cinematic, then comes back after the cinematic ends. After I beat the final boss the game crashes during the cinematic, so I don't know how the game ends. I have reloaded multiple times across 2 different saves and have had the same results.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
