There are a lot of classics on this site. I respect that. Some of my personal 'best games evar' are hosted here, much to my delight. Bearing this in mind, Beyond Good and Evil is, without a doubt, the greatest game on this service. All of the fun of brawler with none of the repetition. All of the character of a JRPG with none of the whining exposition. All of the intensity of a stealth game, but crafted within a rich, satisfying context, so that it is challenging, yet rarely ever punishing. Beyond Good and Evil is a stellar experience from the moment you start playing to the bit at the end of the credits that you didn't see coming. Even the credits are superb.
There are few flaws. I can list them for you. The camera, if during combat and in a confined space, can be a bit awkward, as if it is tied to a monkey having a seizure. There are occasional one-shot drones scattered through a couple of levels - they can't see you, but encourage you to stay hidden. There are a few too many plot points left untied by the end of the game, which are intended to be resolved in sequels. These are all the flaws in the game. That is pretty much all you need to worry about.
BG&E is a quality game with a level of fullness and satisfaction that surpasses most of the games you'll ever play. Honestly, it's okay! You can buy this game! Just calmly, fearlessly, scroll up, click download now, then enter your details. You'll be in possession of one of the finest games ever crafted.
Alright, you did it.
I was on the fence as to weather or not to buy this one, but your glowing praise gave me the confidence I needed. It's almost finished downloading now. I hope you're right.
This game will frustrate you to no end with the questionable control scheme (you can change it under Beyond Good and Evil Settings) and camera tracking and angles.
But besides that, this game is a lot of fun. The characters are original, if not the most fleshed out, the world is colorful and imaginative, the story line isn't anything new but it's still worth following. What I like the best is that it isn't simply a 3-D brawler. You have to think your way through several sections using stealth and timing, and in some you have to decide if it's worth killing the enemy or trying to just get past them. Even the notion of zipping around everywhere on a hovercraft is fun.
This was a game I heard nothing of until I saw it listed here. It's money well spent, and I haven't even finished the game yet. But there are times the camera/difficult level combination become so must a PITA that I have to take a break on occasion.
