It's been a long time since I played it but the only thing that I still remember about it was that there was way too much stealth going on in Beyond Good and Evil and the hoverboat stuff wasn't all that great either.  End credits were nice though.

Who knows.  I may end up buying it again anyway.

PC version of BG&E is wack.  No gamepad support, 4:3 letterbox widescreen, and other various video problems (even after you try to 'fix' it) make this new HD version on the 360/PS3 the superioriest version.  Already own it on Xbox and PC, will buy it again on 360.

Got bored, so I bought this. Never played BGE before now.

Just killed the first boss and I'm liking it so far. It's a little janky: the camera is awful, the combat kinda sucks, the animation is kinda bad and the voice acting isn't too great, but it's still fun. The story and characters seem a little more cartoony than I was expecting too.

Post by: Stoney Mason on March 06, 2011, 08:48:27 AM
Beyond Good and Evil is a fine game. Especially for its era. The stealth is a bit over-done but that was the fad back then. Trying to add stealth in everywhere in every single game. Nearly every game from the past is "over-rated" due to nostalgia love and the fact that any game that didn't get to continue as a series is lamented as a lost gem whether it was or wasn't. (See the Shenmue dicksucking that has gone on since that series was stopped). In 6 or 7 years people will be saying the same thing about Mirror's Edge since that series is most likely going to die too. There are literally hundreds maybe thousands of great games that got stopped in my life time at one game and didn't get a shit-ton of sequels or start a franchise. BG&E is no better or worse than any of those. It happens. Just play the game and leave all that nerd talk over at GAF.

You guys did see my link to the free soundtrack download from the game's mySpace page, right?

I downloaded the demo, but haven't committed to the full purchase yet. I'm anxious to see what they've done, but feel like this will have at least one discount sale before I'm actually able to sit down and play it. That makes me a bad Michel Ancel fan...  :-\

Just finished this, got my 200/200. It's a good game, but it's not particularly great. Last boss fight was horrible, combat in general is horrible, stealth sections weren't bad since it meant I could bypass combat, I liked the racing & all of the side missions, the OST is good, story & characters were meh, good exploration, and this game has THE WORST CAMERA I have seen in over a decade.

Still, I'd be interested in a sequel. If they fixed all of the problems with this game and added more content, it could be really great. Too bad Michel Ancel does nothing but make trailers for games that never come out these days.
