Beyond Good & Evil™

Very Much a Console Port

It was a good game; Im glad I played it at least once (and Im always happy to see stuff like this on GOG). But I would definitely recommend getting it on a console (this is coming from a PC loyalist). Camera control is terrible with a mouse. I had to stop playing after a few hours because I was literally sick to my stomach as the camera was repeatedly ripped from my control to stare at the floor, the ceiling or to be fixed in the most unhelpful position possible. Since most of the game is sneaking, most of the time the camera will be staring at the main characters bum or a wall (yes, Im a little spoiled from Human Revolution...). I cant tell you how many times I accidentally pushed the wrong button; trying to run or dodge, only to end up snapping a picture of the thing trying to eat me. Yeah, you can reassign controls, but some consolidation of buttons (like dodging and running) wouldve been helpful. Lastly, the graphics are terribly optimized. Even on the lowest settings, in the City I got a maximum of 30fps and an average of maybe 15-20. This is coming from a build with a GeForce 660 GTX; by no means the best card, but can run many new AAA titles on max settings. Seeing it defeated by an old game like this really deflated my balloon. Conclusion: Good game, get it on the GC.
