Customer Reviews
With the PRICE and the QUALITY... this game is a must BUY!!
I had never heard of this game until I was thumbing through here one day and read some of the reviews the game was receiving. I was intriqued. I was looking for a good sci-fi sort of game. The Star Wars games are always such a letdown... so, I thought I'd buy this one... COME ON... for the PRICE you can't go wrong... and I DIDN'T!
There is only one downside.
The game is fantastic. The graphics are great. The game is fun and unique. It has a wide open environment in which you can race, explore, recover PEARLS, take pictures of various species of ANIMALS in order to make money, interact with everyone, rescue your friends and try to uncover the truth beyond unexplained events like a real investigative journalist.
The game is challenging and hard at times, and always interesting. Not to mention, funny... side characters are lighthearted and entertaining. There is a level of puzzle solving that is at times hard, sometimes completely impossible and sometimes relatively easy.
Overall, the game takes you to this cool unique world that sometimes reminds me of Don Bluth's DRAGON'S LAIR (in its animation).
The game is very fun and a nice change of pace. The only setback I can make note of is that the game is pretty short. Otherwise... This game is worth playing. For the low low price it is being sold, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, at least rent it.
The game that does everything right
I finished this game over a year ago, and I am still recommending it to everyone I meet. Unfortunately I'm starting to understand why I'm having trouble convincing people - this game just has too much going on. Most people aren't willing to step out of their favorite genre box to try anything this amazing. I get comments like, "I just want to kill stuff and be totally violent" or "I hate stealthing, cause I have no patience", etc.
I can't stress enough to you how this game just does everything right. Nothing is too difficult to figure out. You don't get stuck forever hating a boss. You never curse at the controls. To this day, I still love the way you enter letters using a dial instead of the usual "keyboard on screen". The story is very compelling, and it actually drives the game. I especially love taking inventory of the bioresources of each new place with a camera. The characters and environment are interesting in every way - physical appearance, background, psychology, abilities, etc. Music and sound effects are what you need and fit the mood. The gameplay isn't artificially padded with difficult/frustrating things to do to drag out the length of the game. Kills are not superviolent, but totally satisfying. The game is always fun, never work. Stealth is way more optional and shorter wait to return to normal than in "Metal Gear" and other stealth games, therefore actually fun (and even funny - those guys are hilarious). The graphics are beautiful, no errors or overly-contrived things to take away from your immersion in this environment.
Whatever your excuse is, (I can hear it now, "I just like cute Mario type games", "I don't like platformers, I like to shoot stuff", "I don't have time for adventure games") just give this a try. All the things that annoy you in other games simply don't exist in this one. As so many others have said here, you won't regret it. I hope the game makers have more chances to make gems like this, games with soul, instead of more mass-marketed junk.
My Favorite PS2 Game
I'll admit, I'm not the biggest gamer. I don't spend hours playing every game just to reach the end. I'll play and if it starts to become too frustrating or repetitive, I'll give up.
Reading all the positive reviews for BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, and seeing the price, I decided to pick it up.
It quickly became the greatest PS2 game I have played.
First of all, the look of the game is just gorgeous. The graphics are as good as in an animated feature. The whole world it creates is believable and incredibly detailed. It's fun to just wander around.
The missions are fun and varied. From collecting pearls to upgrade your vehicle, to driving your vehicle, to fighting missions, to picture taking, to racing, it is all there. It never gets boring. Plus, it is never TOO difficult. Only on a couple of occasions did I have to consult a walkthrough. Not to say it is an easy game. The final battle is quite difficult. But just that you don't want to throw down the controller in frustration.
The game is quite short though. And it isn't as open ended as the GTA games, but in some ways, that makes it more focused and more entertaining.
For this price, there is no reason not to buy it. It is a must buy.
