This has been the best gaming experience I've had since Ocarina of time! The graphics are smooth, the characters witty, and the story compelling. Possibly the best game of 2003.

Awesome

I got this game for my birthday, and I love it. It's great gameplay and a riviting story line. Definately a great addition to your GameCube collection.

Believe me it is beyond good..

This is a great game.. I bought it at the $20 value and well worth the money.. I highly recommend it.. Can't say enough about this game.. I do hope they make a sequel to this game since it would be a shame not too..

Awesome

This game is great. Amazing graphics, sound, story, etc. It's amazing that it's not raved about because it's definitely the best adventure game since Ocarina of Time.

Absolutely fantastic

I have a PS2. I've been a big fan of the legend of zelda series with nintendo but I went with this console because of the better game selection. I got this game at 19.99 and was absolutely blown away. The graphics, the music, the plotline, and that gameplay were fantastic. I'm crossing my fingers that Ubisoft will get the sequel out. This game is well worth the more than econonimical price tag. You can get the whole story of this game from the other reviews, I just want to express my enthusiasm and enjoyment I've gotten from this game. One of the best I've had a chance to play on this platform.

Good

Beyond Good & Evil is no Rayman, even though it's made by the same guy. But the truth is: it's just as good as Rayman. The game has a sweet fluidity to it, an engrossing story and characters, and is easy to play as well as to watch. The addition of vehicle-based missions and picture-taking work wonderfully, as well as the balance between stealth and action. However, my problems with the game are this: 1) too short. 2) too linear. 3) too prohibiting (as in, the controls). Other than this, Beyond Good & Evil is a treat. A fun, involving, unique game which, sadly, isn't getting the credit it deserves.

If you don't own this game... WHY THE HECK NOT?

When I first heard of this game I was slightly intrigued, but not enough to shell out that hard earned cash of mine. Then they lowered the price to $20 and I was like okay why not? So i forked over the 20 clams and I do not regret that one bit. The game is just gorgeous. The characters are appealing the landscapes are original the game play is great. Definately one of the best that GameCube has put out so far.

Why isn't anyone buying this great game? There's no reason not to like this game. The graphics are superb. The story is great. The frekin'gamplay is great too. But nooo everyone is buying some cruddy lincensed game that deserves to be in a trash bin. This game however is withering in the bargin bin for only 20 dollars and will probably be takin off the markit because it isn't selling anything. For only 20 dollars buy already. Heck, you should've bought already for 50.

Short and sweet

What do you get when you cross Zelda, Splinter Cell, a kung-fu movie, and The Matrix? Aparently an awesome game. Beyond Good and Evil takes the best of every genre, even racing and gambling, and crams them into one neat little package.

Pros:
1) Fluid combat system: pull off combos and quickly fight off enemies that surrond you, rather than slowly engaging them one by one by "targeting them" (as in Zelda).

2) Enough facets to the game that any gamer can find an aspect they like. For instance, players can take the offensive against gaurds, or stealthily sneak by them.

3) Work in unison with an accomplice: NPC's (non-player charecter) not only help you through dungeons, allowing for original puzzles that add the aspect of team work to the mix, but also fight alongside you.

4) As far as games go, the plot to this one is up there with my favorites. Atleast three great twists in this one.

Con:
1) It took me three days to beat this game (probably because I was so addicted to it). For $20, thats fine by me.

4 stars: Great adventure/photography/stealth/futuristic/vehicle ... you get the point. Solid plot, solid fight engine, solid game. Short and sweet.

Fun Adventure

This game is a must-have, especially now with such a low price. The whole experience feels like a movie because the whole game is presented in a letterbox widescreen view. The plot of the game is believable and the whole presentation of the game is well executed. And the graphics aren't anything to laugh at. Especially when out in the hovercraft on the water, the water looks great.Everything is done with the in-game engine, so all the transitions between movies is smooth. Overall this game is highly recommended, so please buy it so Ubisoft makes a sequel.
