What our customer's say!
"I loved this game!", The story line was great with purpose, meaning and heart; the graphics were beautiful; wage earning was interesting and different; and the music, ambiance and voice acting were all very well done. The interface was easy and cool. I thoroughly enjoyed sneeking around the world or Hillys and her moon. Ah, those Alpha Sections were too funny with their dialog and actions when under attack. And the cut scenes were sweet with action and drama. Please, please, please, Michel Ancel make a squel! And Ubisoft, please be smart enough to support it!!!
"Quick Review!", 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!
"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...
"DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A NIVADIA VIDEO CARD", DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A NIVADIA VIDEO CARD seriously, it wont work with the latest drivers. the game is a poor port too, buy it for a console instead if you can
"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.
You might need this...

"Best P.C. game ever.", this game is one of, strike that, the best game i have on the P.C. The gameplay is great, the stealth action is awsome, and the music in this game is some of the best ever, especially the music in the Acuda Bar. my only problem is that the game is too short for better players, 3 or 4 days. and this game was not very hyped up, not many people played it, makeing it an Underdog.

"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,

"This is a fun adventurous RPG ", 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.
"Needs A Sequel!", Just in case any Ubisoft people are reading this, THIS GAME NEEDS A SEQUEL! It has beautiful graphics and wonderful gameplay. Admittedly, I ran into a couple bugs, but I didn't mind starting over too much because it was such a great game. It had a cliff-hanger ending, too, so I get the feeling that there was supposed to be a sequel. People, buy this game. Maybe they'll realize that what the world needs is a Beyond Good And Evil 2!
"Best game of the new milennium", This game is in contention for the best video game I've ever played, up there with titles such as Fallout and Resident Evil.
In Beyond Good and Evil, you play the part of Jade, a young woman on a planet called Hillys. Hillys is a futuristic society plagued by invasions from a race of alien abductors called the DomZ. (pronounced doms) Hillys itself is populated not only by humans, but by other races that have evolved not only from apes, but from goats, rhinos, sharks, and many other animals.
Jade is a photographer by profession, and lives in a lighthouse with the kindly pig-man who raised her, where they raise a number of orphan children and Jade struggles to earn enough money from her photography to pay the power bill for the energy shield that protects them from the DomZ. Good backstory, I'd say.
Without giving away too much, the story progresses from there, and Jade finds herself attempting to uncover a government conspiracy through photographic evidence. The device by which you take pictures works beautifully, and you can very soon obtain a zoom lens which not only makes photography easier, but functions as binoculars to survey an area and as a weapon targeting device. You can earn extra money along the way by selling photos, and the income is instantaneous, as the digital photos are transmitted from your camera and funds are electronically deposited into your account.
One of the things I liked most about the game is its variety. There are battles, in which Jade weilds her staff and sometimes has aid from a companion, and there are driving portions of the game, in which you need to pilot a hovercraft (and later a spaceship) to flee, pursue, fight, or earn first place in a race, jumping and shooting all the while. There are numerous puzzles, although they are seldom as conspicuous as those in Resident Evil or Syberia - generally the puzzles in Beyond Good & Evil take the form of a door which must be opened or a creature which must be bypassed. Sneaking is both plentiful and well-designed. If you've ever played Tenchu or Thief, you know how much fun it can be to sneak around, narrowly avoiding being spotted, and then run and hide once you are spotted. And there are even a couple side-games, such as the good ole shell game, and an odd air hockey variant.
The game designers did an excellent job making the game nonviolent. More often than not, you're battling DomZ, which are very nonhuman, and when you do battle humanoids, you're still using your staff, so not blood is ever spilt. Even when you sneak up behind someone, you bash their air-pack to disable them rather than assassinating them.
The PC control scheme took a bit of getting used to, but zooming with the mouse wheel and peeking around with the mouse became second nature before too long. In the PC version, if you're accustomed to navigating with the WASD keys, you should be comfortable, but if not, you may initially find it annoting to use the space bar to run and the Q key to use items, since they're so close to the WASD (move) keys. Another minor annoyance was the inability to skip cinematics. Still, there were a few scenes in the game to which I kept returning to replay, including a phenomenal chase scene laced with cinematic cuts.
The PC version had some minor issues on two of the three PCs on which I installed it. (Yes, I've played the game twice, and installed it on three PCs) One of the issues has to do with graphics compatibilities, but tweaking the settings remedies this. The other has to do with the synching of video and sound in the cutscenes, but the Ubisoft forums has a fix for this if you visit them.
