The game has a lot of variety and all the attempted game mechanics work well for the most part. A very well written story that is in some ways parallel to current events and different views of events that we see today.
    The art style is fantastic making you look past polygons. I recommend it highly.    … Expand

    i would definitely put this game in my top 5 because of the fact that it never gets old. i've played this game over so many times and each time feels even better than the last. the immersive scenery and sounds effects make the game more then worth it to play over again. if you're someone who likes action/adventure games then you would be a fool not to try this one.

    A cult classic. Still one of the most original and underrated games. It delivers a great story, fun quests and a lot of content. The soundtrack is amazing and the graphics are still pretty good. Sneaking can still be frustrating and combat isn't very challenging or rewarding. Get this game now if you haven't played it.

In many ways the definition of an award-winning flop, it's got a quirky style to it that you may or may not be on board with. Gameplay consists of platforming (which is solid), combat (which is bland), stealth (which is fun but frustrating), and driving/shooting (which is unpleasant). Nothing in the gameplay really stands out as exceptional, but the world and story are well-realized, even if the plot is sometimes melodramatic.

    Flawed, but charming and memorable. It's goofy and creative in its best moments, awkward and sloppy at its worst. There's a lot to like and enjoy, but plenty of moments that left me scratching my head. Difficulty was all over the place, with tricky parts not helped by the camera, but most of it was on the easier side. Despite what it has going against it, the quirkiness and setting were more than enough to drive my curiosity to the ending.

    I experienced some minor technical issues, mostly just flickering textures, and a crash or two, but I didn't consider them enough of a bother to stop me from playing. Your experience may vary, as this is known to be somewhat unstable on newer OS's.    … Expand

    It is the most beautiful game I ever played. Try it out! It is a pitty that this game was never in the "Gamecharats" because it is WAY better than at example Oblivion or Black Ops II or any other game.
    For me it is just the best game ever, because I never felt, while finishing the story, this "No-this-cant-be-over" feeling before.

    Hopefully they are going to use better marketing strategies for its sequel, which they've announced like 10 years ago.

Obviously when you shoe horn in a lot unfinished mechanics with a decent storyline, a unique visual design of characters within said plot, and nice setting to have it all take place in, you're hedging your bets that the positives outweigh the negatives. In this instance however, their is a constant subtle effect of negative outweighing the positive throughout. From the horrid camera controls, fixed camera angles, woefully terrible combat, woefully goofy artificial intelligence, the utterly boring races, the collect-athon photography mini-game, (that I should remind everyone has no bearing on the plot after the first "Domz" attack) the bizarre characters that grew obnoxious even after the first twelve times they uttered dialogue and the main character herself feeling more fleshed out than any other half-baked concepts in the game. Playing through the game so long after release allows players now to isolate the "bad" and see if its possible to push through till the end of the game hoping that all they've put up with will be rewarded. Which never happens. The game ends with a whimper and a completely unnecessary cliff hanger. Given the time of its release, I can see why many would sympathize with the title having received "less then" the right amount of attention or respect, but the painful truth is that it "didn't" revolutionize any mechanics. It borrowed more from older mechanics, half-assed those, and was then laden with a mystical sort of reputation as "the game that didn't sell well." I think after all this time it'd be a bit obvious why of course. Their were things in this game that didn't work. Stealth sections were embarrassingly dull and simple. Drawn out to the point of tedium, lacking any real complexity most times. The player faced no serious peril or repercussions from dying at any point in the game and merely had to sit around for about ten seconds after Jades slow-motion, cinematic, and ultimately pointlessly received "death-blow." The minor characters are barely made relevant as well since the plot is immediately thrown on top of you after the first "mission" of the game. It draws you in a bit and then it just goes nowhere. Nowhere but clear cut, no choice, linear pathways through the rest of the game and story. The dialogue is rough as well, featuring fairly inconsistent performances in a game all about characterizing the main characters and even Jade fails to sound committed or merely concerned about anything going on. She doesn't ask questions, she's just like "Rebels good, Empire bad." Its a tired, old, mangy, dead horse of a concept and their is no build-up aside from the introduction, the brief fight at the beginning so that players could familiarize themselves with the simplistic combat system, and a very light explanation for all of it one to two hours into the story. Their is no excuse for the barrage of silly side quests that merely slowed down the main quest and it destroyed any feeling of urgency when a supposed side-character is in trouble, only for Jade to be out hunting "pearls" to fix up a Hovercraft for optional racing side-quests. Everything in this game aside from the world, setting and visual style seems to have received more effort than anything else. Why is Jade a cardboard cut-out? Why do other characters seem utterly pointless upon first meeting and subsequent meetings afterwards? Why are we thrust into these linear and boring areas of the game when the initial starting points seem so large and varied? Alpha Section must be paying quite a bit on their electric bill to keep all these lasers going, I mean I haven't seen this many lasers shoved into level design since Rayman 2. Which isn't even a slam on Rayman 2. That game had brilliant level design and is in many ways very similar to Beyond Good & Evil. The problem here was these tiny boxes of levels that Jade was shoved into, only for the player to realize after they were over: "Wow, without all those switches, stealth sections, forced fighting sections, photo-sessions, and brief cinematics, that wouldn't have taken very much time at all." Which is the point, everything done to frustrate the player, through "so simple you feel like an idiot" puzzle solutions, to the cramped level design, you start to get the feeling that this was all just a vehicle to tell the story. Which is a terrible feeling. As cinematic "experiences" games fall flat in almost every regard. Its not what their about. Beyond Good & Evil tried to balance the two and failed. Its eleven years later and it has completely failed to grab me or immerse me into its world through its broken mechanics, poor design, and lackluster characters. I can't believe people still call this game "underrated."… Expand

    The game is from 2003 so I don't expect open-world, but when I got my spaceship I could only fly a few seconds in each direction before I was "out of bounds" and forced to turn around. Incredibly limited and linear. There's no exploration of the city, just a handful of streets you can walk down.

    In close quarters, this game is considered an undeniable masterpiece. And now he wanted to look, what kind of game is this and is it so good, as others say. The fun began from the very beginning, when at the first start I saw a powerful drawdown of FPS, raided many forums and guides, helped with FPS and there was a new problem with flickering of textures and eventually if one is treated, then another climbs. And there were no craftsmen who consider this product a masterpiece to make a patch to fix the problems, I'm not talking about the developers themselves. But this is a long digression, we will move on to the essence of this masterpiece, do not consider it a repetition, I will be called this word to the end. In addition to technical problems with FPS and textures, there is a wildly wretched camera (I played the keyboard-mouse), tried on the gamepad and it was even worse. Considering that there are a lot of stealth moments in the game, then you will burn more than once, because the camera will simply put you under the enemy, you will not even have time to understand how you have to load or sweat and kill everyone. Now, briefly about the game itself, the characters are not completely revealed, I thought. that I will like the pig, because I like in games like NPC (companions), but alas not here, the characters are dull, the music is not impressive, the gameplay began to bore, constantly crawl with the poor camera in stealth, collect pearls and all that. From the side it looks interesting but in fact, the developers did not try. Passing the game, I still do not understand where and how the game is a masterpiece, I honestly do not understand. This is my personal opinion, but there is nothing special to add to this, the game is erased from memory quite quickly, since it has nothing to fill memories.

    В тесных кругах эта игра считается неоспоримым шедевром. И вот самому захотелось глянуть, что же за игра такая и так ли она хороша, как говорят другие. Веселье началось с самого начала, когда при первом запуске я увидел мощнейшую просадку фпс, облазил много форумов и гайдов, помогло с фпс и тут возникла новая проблема с мерцанием текстур и в итоге если одно лечится, то другое вылазит. По слухам игра работает стабильно только на XP, поздние версии она дико багует. И не нашлось умельцев, которые считают данный продукт шедевром, чтобы сделать какой-нибудь патч, чтобы исправить проблемы, я уже не говорю про самих разработчиков. Но это долгое отступление, перейдем к сути этого шедевра, не сочтите за повтор, я буду до конца называть этим словом. Помимо технических проблем с фпс и текстурами, есть еще дико убогая камера (играл я на клаво - мышь), пробовал на геймпаде и было еще хуже. Учитывая что в игре много стелс моментов, то вы не раз подгорите, так как камера просто подставит вас под противнику, вы даже не успеете ничего понять, как придется загружаться или потеть и всех перебить. Теперь коротко о самой игре, персонажи не раскрыты абсолютно, я думал. что мне придется по душе свин, так как мне нравятся в играх подобные NPC (напарники) но увы не здесь, персонажи унылы, музыка не впечатляет, геймплей начал надоедать, постоянно ползать с убогой камерой в стелсе, собирать жемчуг и все такое. Со стороны выглядит интересно но на деле, разработчики вовсе не старались. Проходя игру я так и не понял где и как именно игра является шедевром, честно не понимаю. Это лично мое мнение, но здесь особо добавить нечего игра сотрется из памяти довольно быстро, поскольку ей нечем заполнить воспоминания.    … Expand

    흔히 컬트 클래식으로 알려져있는데, 여러 궁금증을 남기는 엔딩과 무려 15년이 넘은 징한 후속작 떡밥 때문에 그 소수의 팬들이 약간 응집되고 과장된 듯한 느낌이 있다.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, there’s still the irritating third-person camera and chugging graphics to remind you of BGE’s console origins, and it never comes remotely close to justifying the pretentiousness of the title – at a mere 12 hours or so it’s undoubtedly far too short.

    I liked the characters, the game sounded and looked good, and the action sequences were challenging without being too challenging.
