Beyond Good & Evil™

italiano Questo è assolutamente uno dei migliori giochi mai fatti. Ed ecco le motivazioni: 1. Ottima storia 2. Ottimo mondo (grande e vario) 3. Buon sistema di combattimento 4. Ottimi enigmi 5. Sistema di movimento sufficiente 6. Design stupendo. 7. Gira su wine/wineskin (linux e mac) in maniera perfetta, basta seguire le istruzioni su winehq (ricordate il dsound.dll molto importante per evitare ritardi audio nelle cutscenes). Esistono comunque wrapper già fatti per mac (porting team ne ha due tra i quali uno fatto per la versione GOG). 8. È anche doppiato in italiano. 9. ha delle ottime parti stealth. Insomma un gioco che ha proprio tutto dalla sua, dalla storia al design, dai combattimenti all'avventura grafica allo stealth (tutti fatti bene), gira bene su mac e linux ed è anche in italiano. Siete ancora qua? English This is absolutely one of the best games ever made. And here are the reasons: 1. Great story 2. Great World (large and varied) 3. Good combat system 4. Excellent puzzles 5. A system of movement, sufficient 6. Design gorgeous. 7. Run on wine / wineskin (linux and mac) perfectly, just follow the instructions on WineHQ (remember the dsound.dll very important to avoid delays in the audio cutscenes). There are, however wrapper already made to mac (porting team has two including one made for the version GOG). 8. It is also dubbed in Italian (since I am Italian is important for me). 9. has good parts stealth. In short, a game that has it all from its, from story to design, graphic adventure from the fighting to stealth (all done well), runs well on Mac and Linux and is also in Italian (there is also English and other languages). Are you still here?

I think this is the first positive review I do in GOG. This game has character, it's pretty inmersive and the story is fun. The different characters are lovely. The difficulty is normal, and the music, god, the music is epic. I can see how much love placed the developers on this game. I really recomend this game, I do not give it 5 stars because it may be a bit short, and you can feel lose at some point (I did a random thing, then and only then the story continued), and some history elements are predictable. Anyway - I'm pretty hard scoring games, if I do a 3 stars review they are like oher people 5 stars ones. I highly recomend playing this game in you enjoy advendtures.

I first read a review praising this game and it's gameplay when it came out but it had a too cartoonish look for me so it put me off. Eventually the full game came with a magazine I usually bought and I installed for my younger sister(8yo) to play she really enjoyed it despite struggling a bit with some levels which I did help and I was amazed at the story, level design and gameplay this game showcased. It's also fully voice with localization including Spanish which it's pretty well done and really helps for non English speakers. You are basically a female reporter in fantasy world and start to solve a mystery that ends in a full blown conspiracy, it has very good designed and iconic characters, world & maps are all well flush out that feel fresh with progression, include some mini games like racing, the gameplay is the typical adventure arcade/fighting/platforming type but really fits well with the game and draws many elements. Now that I think some of the elements of the story and the design (how every elements of the game work together) reminds me of KOTOR design and attention to detail.

I played this game for the first time a couple of weeks after finishing The Wind Waker (2003) and to this day I'm not sure which game I loved the most. It's that freaking good. The music is spot on; the characters are memorable; the atmosphere; the minigames; ...I even enjoyed the weirdly fiting control sheme for kerbord+mouse but my friends told me it also works great with console controls. Just buy this game, and after finishing it you will understand why Ubisoft Montpellier receive this amount of cult following.

I base this review on the Uplay version after installing the HD patch (So i can play in 1080p) The PC version is ok as long as you fiddle a bit with the controls. I had to set the mouse sensitivity slider all the way to the left before the camera became usable) they become perfectly fine. There is a superior looking HD re-release on consoles but its PS3 and X30 only i think. Anyway back to the game. It's a cult classic zeldalike. The story is mostly linear but you are free to explore and looking for side missions in the overworld which yield pearls that are used to upgrade the hovercraft... and open up more of the overworld . The Melee combat can be described as proto arkham. There are no counters per say but Jade can hit most enemies out of their attack animation so fights against 2+ enemies can turn into a glorified whack-a-mole. Still there's not too much emphasis on combat for it to become boring and the game switches things up pretty regularly with bosses that require working with your companion to bring down, races, chases, puzzles, photography, (rather basic) stealth vehicle combat etc. And while some elements might be less than amazing (Like the races and stealth section) they are generally short enough to never really overstay their welcome. The story is good for 2003. You can obviously tell who's the bad guy rather quickly but the story has a twist or two in store. The game has a cliffhanger ending as it was planned to be a trilogy and there will likely be no continuation on that story anytime soon (The BGE2 that is in development is a prequel).
