This is a great game. The graphics are spectacular. The game is not too easy or too difficult. When you get stuck it isn't too hard to figure it out. Sometimes the controls are annoying but its still a great game. Its too bad it didn't get more publicity.

Perfect - we love it.

I love this game. It has a great story and plenty of action, and quite challenging.



My son (5yrs) loves playing this with me, and I don't mind playing with him since this is good safe stuff - and he can improve his dexterity, explore and learn to solve puzzles. I like the fact that being smart and stealthy is rewarded... and that this is NOT a shoot-up-the-baddies-and-watch-them-bleed game.

There are great sub games like the races, and the smugglers caves that allow you to keep playing the game after the adventure is done. Graphics is good, mouse + cursor movement works well. The Last fight is a worthy climax + ending.

Beatiful Graphics & Good Sound Track

Starts at home to travel to island with hover craft the later upgrade to jump kit to hop over water and border and upgrade to rocket ship to fly around and to the moon, goes on races with hispanic sound track, fight strage creatures with a stick, through CDs, and bat stuff at them, lots of interactive and some detective work, play games games with Francis kinda like air hockey though push all 5 puck to other side first to win, kinda silly cute game, characters, strange creatures, snap pictures for credits is her job, fought major characters to gain control of island and rewards, Jade should have long hair if she's girl, maybe she decide to let her hair grow for next version of game...

Bad News First:

1. Controls. Very frustrating. Mouse/keyboard controls can be hard to use when angles are turned around. Also, extra mouse buttons (4,5,6) cannot be mapped.

2. Camera. It's bad enough that camera angles turn you around at the most inopportune moments, but sometimes they lock at angles where the mouse doesn't move restricting your view.

3. Fighting. You only have a handful of attacks that do not improve much through out the game.

4. Saving. There are save areas instead of saving wherever you like. This really isn't so bad since if your character dies you start off before certain areas.

Good News:

1. Visual design. Jaw-dropping, beautifully designed landscapes. Very few games are as clever and intricate in the construction of the buildings and land. Stunning. The Lighthouse is amazing.

2. Character designs. Unique, quirky and cool. Many species and variations there of.

3. Action. The fight sequences are exciting as well as the "running" scenes! Not to mention the "matrix-esque" photography for a certain move.

4. Tag-teams. Pey'j and Double H are used along the way to help in fights and traps that need to be unlocked.

5. Photography. Not the game's design photgraphy but Jade's camera! You take your own personal pictures or the photos of the animals on Hilly for $!

6. Acting. Terrific voice acting! My personal favorite was the barrel-chested soldier Double H.

7. Music. Riveting compostions that vary in certain situations. My favorite track though is a Brazilian-type music that you hear during the races.

8. Racing. Lots of fun and you win pearls that are needed in the game to purchase items.

All in all the use of the above pros are well directed into a unique experience. It's a terrific game!

PS: Anyone else catch the very end of the credits? Sea-quill!

Game runs too fast

Game runs too fast on my Inspiron 6000 with ATI radeon x300 video card. I really want to play this game because I really enjoyed the demo, but it's kinda frustrating not getting what you want. Anyone had the same problem? How do I solve?

Fun and interesting game!

I bought this game half a year ago and I couldint get it to install (Not my doing. My computer is good)! Well about half a week ago I got bord and instered the disc into my computer and... Wounders of wonders it worked! This game is bascily the best game I've ever played! It has a little bit of every thing and a intersting story line. I have decied to crank the rateing on my review up. Thuo I'm not giveing it 5 stars because of all the difacaulty I had...(I think it was just me). This is a must have game and the greasted overlooked gem! Go and buy it (You should beable to get it for REALY cheep)... You wont regret it!...

OLD REVIEW:

I downloaded the demo on my computer and I enjoyed it very much (even if it is a little slow). So I decided to buy the game... I can't even get into the installer! I clicked "Install" on the AutoPlay, chose English, then I clicked "OK". After it's almost done with setting up the Install Wizard it totally crashes. I called Ubi Support and was on the phone for an hour and a 1/2. Still I couldn't fix it. I tried it and it installs on 3 OTHER COMPUTERS!!! Only 1 of them is more powerful then mine. I gave it 3 stars because I enjoyed the demo and my friend seemed to like it on his computer.

I wish the Game Cube version wasn't so absurdly expensive so I could sell the PC game and buy it...

I hope this helps any one, who is considering buying this,

Relys

It's the best!

I'm not really crazy over games that require me to run around and fight and I especially don't like "bosses". However, this game is beautiful. The graphics are well done and all scenes are well integrated. I did enjoy the hovercraft races, at first. I then became frustrated with the controls. I eventually mastered it, but by the 3rd race I was bored. The looters' chases were downright annoying and almost made me quit all together. The few puzzles this game presents are easy to solve and mostly require you to find an object or run/drive really fast. Overall this game did not capture my imagination. It did indeed have a story that revealed itself, but was drowned out by the usual repetitive running,shooting,flying fast,killing monsters/bosses format that is so popular today. Personally, all that just bores me. I rated this highly because, ignoring my inherent bias, it does indeed deserve it. People who like this type of game format will really enjoy this.

The learning curve isn't too bad; I was playing smoothly in 15 minutes or so.
Beyond Good and Evil has a great story line, and you get to have a boat right off the bat, and later you get to fly around. I actually found myself too high when I was practicing how to do it. I found myself (I am scared of heights, it gets to my head) getting anxious. I was saying Oh My Gosh! And then it happened again. ..SO fun.
You go around taking pictures of different creatures and puzzle solve to progress through the game. The puzzles are not so hard that the fun factor leaves you. I liked the fact that if you died, you would start from the room where you died; you don't have to go through the whole section again. The game has many saved areas so the stress factor is small.
It has been said, "It is the greatest game that no one has played" I agree it is one of my favorites.
I love RPG's and sometimes to get a variety out of my game play I will play a Zelda or Mario game. Here you will have a unique experience in this RPG;
I will always remember playing this game. It was so different from anything I have ever played; it is not a long game but it is a fun game from start to finish.
