The latest game from master mind Michel Ancel, creator of Rayman, is the excellent adventure game, “Beyond Good & Evil”:http://beyondgoodevil.com/uk/home.php.
I picked up BG&E last weekend looking for a unique adventure with lovely graphics and that’s exactly what I got. Smooth play mechanics, excellent looks, and a terrific storyline has easily propelled BG&E to the top of my current play list.
One of the more interesting features is that Jade takes a job as a photographer for the local science museum. Through out the game you’ll encounter various creatures that inhabit Hillys and Jade’s job is to photograph them for money. The side benefit to taking lots of photographs is you also receive special items after taking 8 photos. I always enjoy side quests within games and this one doesn’t detract from the main story nor does it force you to travel to certain spots just for one picture a la Zelda: Wind Waker.
The reviews for BG&E “have”:http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/561645.asp “been”:http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/adventure/beyondgoodevil/index.html “favorable”:http://cube.ign.com/articles/440/440088p1.html, but according to UbiSoft “the game has been selling poorly”:http://cube.ign.com/articles/449/449164p1.html so they lowered the price to $19.99 for all three consoles. Now has never been a better time to pick up this excellent game.
