The letterbox presentation of Beyond Good & Evil gives the gamer a good indication from the get-go of what to expect; wonderful direction, excellent storytelling, and a compelling plot. The gameplay is good enough to hold its own within the cinematic confines and actually does its fair share to charge the story forward. Read more

The characters are typically weird but charming (you'll even find some of the enemies and the amusing way you dispatch them endearing).

Even odder than the main character having no arms or legs is that the games were pretty darn good. Now they’re throwing a new game at us, Beyond Good and Evil, with several different genres mixed together while actually having the nerve to also include an interesting, if not a slightly flawed, story.

You've got to give Ubisoft a lot of credit: They know how to make the most of an original concept. Any lesser developer would have created Beyond Good & Evil as an all-out action game or a cheesy Metal Gear Solid rip-off for kids. Ubisoft instead crafted BG&E as a thrilling combination of both action and stealth, with just a pinch of cheese for flavor. Read more
