Fun game, but not designed for a PC

Just played the game for the first time, on the PC. I greatly enjoyed the story, the characters and soundtrack, the sneaking around, and taking photographs as a means of earning money and also as vital part of the story progression. I found the gameplay well balanced between stealth, boss fights, racing, puzzles and mini-games. What I did not enjoy so much were the directional controls and camera. The controls appeared to be bound not to the relative direction of the player character (e.g. forward, backward, left, right) but rather to the edges of the screen (up, down, left, right) as if it was a 2D side-scrolling game. This wasn't noticeable if you were in a 1st person or 3rd person over-the-shoulder view, but it would throw you off completely when the camera suddenly changed to a side view (which it did frequently and unpredictably). Some boss fights proved rather annoying as well (I never felt fully in control during fighting sequences), but fortunately the game is designed to reload at the start of the current fight if you die, regardless of the last save point, making it a great deal less frustrating than it would otherwise be. You can die many times until you get through a seemingly 'impossible' fight--usually you have to figure out the correct attack pattern, so each boss fight is more like solving a puzzle than hitting until you deplete their HP (in fact, enemies don't have a health bar at all). Last but not least, the vehicular action, since you spend a good part of the game riding a hovercraft: Vehicle controls felt even more awkward than the fighting controls, to the point I eventually gave up on completing a number of side quests entirely (particularly the 4 race tracks and 4 looter caverns); luckily they were more like mini-games and not necessary to advance the story, so unless you are an obsessive completionist you can skip them and enjoy the rest of the game, which is what I did.

Good title

Works flawlessly on Linux via lutris-7.2-2-x86_64 runner. Really needs the widescreen fix found here: http://ps2wide.net/pc.html#bge Serious negative though in that you can not invert Y access on the mouse. It is backwards. Controllers don't seem to work with it either. Minus a couple stars for both issues.

Good Potential, but frustrating

It has the POTENTIAL to be a very good game. However, it just isn't. I'm guessing all the 5* reviews on here have to be from people who reviewed it after only the first level, when there's a lot of exploration and not a lot of combat. At that point, the game's shortcomings don't become apparent. On the plus side, the general concept, story, character design, graphics are all there. It has the feel of a good console adventure game, with jRPG type characters. On negative? The game doesn't handle the camera positioning and control orientation very well, especially in tight spaces. Later in the game, you'll be crawling through factories and doing a lot of combat against tougher foes. Some that won't take any damage unless taken by surprise. The problem is that the game has a nasty habit of rearranging the camera orientation multiple times or totally spazzing out in tight quarters. This is a pain because you'd be running away or carefully maneuvering a minefield one minute and suddenly find the camera angle and your travel direction reversed -- right back at the invulnerable enemies or into a bunch of mines or a laser field. At other times, when there's a wall anywhere near your character, the camera appears to reposition itself inside the wall and get stuck there -- granting you a view of grey or tan nothing and jumbled polygons and no way to see what's going on. Sometimes this corrects itself, or you can use the "compass" or "camera" view to compensate. Often, the only way is to restart from the last save and hope it goes better the next time. None of this is an issue in the early levels because it's all exploration and relatively open spaces, with no sneaking, traps or invulnerable enemies. Later in the game, however, this is a serious bug. It's a good game, right up until you get half way, then it's all frustration.

Overrated

Beyond good & evil demo was the first game i played on my ps2, back then i was really surprise by it's graphics, atmosphere, enviroment and photography, the game looked like a playable playstation 1 cutscene but sadly i never got to play the full version. Found out that most people call it an underrated gem, so i was happy to buy it. PLOT So the game starts and you play as "jade" a woman who fights aliens with a stick to protect the orphans, after you beat the aliens "Alpha Section" arrive, a mercenary group who is responsible to protect people from aliens and claim that they counter the alien attack. As you progress you will work as a secret agent and your job is to uncover the truth behind Alpha Section and the alien attacks by taking a photo of every evidence. GAMEPLAY Combat On starting the game you will notice how basic the combat system is and how bad the targeting system is. Photography gets boring quickly, you just have to take a basic photo of every different species you see, for example you can take a photo of pigman's ass and you get rewarded with money. Also the evidence are very specific, you can't find any bonus hidden evidence only the necessary you need to progress. Stealth stealth do not work so well because the camera sabotage you most of the time, camera sometimes is fixed in a very bad angle and also change jerkly, imagine tring to backstab someone and have the camera changed in the last seconds. In the end stealth part felt very basic for me. Minigames The game has some fun racing minigames but nothing special really. Exploration You can explore the world map with a hoverboat but it's way too small to feel like an explorer, you will mostly visit the city and shop. CHARACTERS Most characters have none existent character development like Hahn,Mei,Nino,Peepers,Jade they just try to look cool without saying anything intersting, So with Basic combat, basic photography, basic stealth, i think the game is average and just overatted.

Поздравляем, у вас СМИ головного мозга

Beyond: Good and Evil - игра золотой эпохи Ubisoft, чистое доказательство того, как детская и незамудрённая на вид игра может обладать таким глубоким сюжетом и затрагивать серьёзные темы, над которыми задумываешься немедля. В игре столько приятных и уютных моментов, сколько и напряжённых. А какой в ней распрекрасный саундтрек, не наслушаешься. И, конечно же, главные герои - ну никак не могут не радовать меня. Я получил тонну удовольствия от игры, и с нетерпением жду вторую часть, хочется верить, что Uisoft ещё не растеряли свой потенциал. Всем добра, и поменьше смотрите телевизоры:)
