BEYOND GOOD & EVIL REVIEW

The game follows a young girl named Jade who is on a mission for a secret group to uncover the conspiracy that has been created by the alpha sections. Apparently, many people are going missing and something REALLY sinister is going on (trust me, you wont really find out what until the end, but its worth the wait.) Not only this, but they kidnap her Uncle at an early stage, and so, not only is she trying to bring down this group, but shes trying to rescue her uncle.

The graphics are fairly simple, but nice and the mosters that you encounter are well drawn out. But i dont think the game deliberately dwells on graphics, but emphasizes gameplay. There are driving sections (in your own hovercraft) where you need to take down enemies. Stealth sections, where you have to be extremely careful and fighting sections which are as standard. NOT ONLY THIS, but there are a number of subgames, including a rather cool space table hockey game! You are also employed to take photos of creatures for money. There was plenty of room for all of this to go wrong, as it does for many games that mix so many genres into one, but this game successfully pulls it off! You dont get the impression that the developers put more effort into one thing than another but you generally get the feel of an incredible world with a sinister twist.

So the storyline is good (it has the most touching woman-dog scene ever featured lol!) its graphics are well done, and the music is generally good, tense in some places, very fast, action packed for bosses etc. Its gameplay is unparalleled, and almost every magazine gave it at least 8/10 (game, official playstation 2, Cube etc.) Putting it bluntly, for the price, this is a game you will not regret buying!
