As soon as the game starts you are thrust into a story and it does not let you leave. Playing this game is like playing a movie. The game is a seamless blend of brief, impressively polished cutscenes that flow with the gameplay and drive the storytelling along, so that you are always immersed in the story. Of course, the gameplay itself is fun and the controls are very intuitive for a third person action game, which makes for a grinningly good experience as your magic stick thing whizzes around, satisfyingly thwacking into enemies. If you like a well made game and especially if you can appreciate good storytelling, Beyond Good and Evil should not be missed.
