    While a lot of people seem to like this game I'm in a minority that don't like it so much. It's not a bad game per se but the story is just a rehash of fantasy and sci-fi cliches and it doesn't have any fun with them. The locations are bland as its all caves and factories, caves and factories, over and over again. Worst, the game is incredibly short.

The locations are bland as its all caves and factories, caves and factories, over and over again. Worst, the game is incredibly short. Shorter if you don't get stuck working with the more frustrating moments. They say this game was meant to be a part of a trilogy but if you ask me they say that because the game is really unfinished. The few novelities it has like the camera games and such don't defeat the fact that it is too short and what we get is something we've seen done better in other games.… Expand

    A gaming masterpiece, blending together light combat, stealth, platform action, puzzle solving and racing to form a compelling gameplay mix, tied together with a terrific story and wrapped up in gorgeous visuals and audio.

    Beyond the genre mainstays, BG&E further delivers through its intuitive interface.

    Rather than force you from one style of gameplay to another depending on which level you're on, BG&E blends the transitions together almost seamlessly. The additional styles never really encroach on the main crux of the adventure; they're always peripheral and therefore serve to enrich the experience, rather than dilute it. [Dec 2003, p.114]
