Name: Beyond Good and Evil |
|
On the tiny planet of Hillys, an alien menace known as the DomZ have begun randomly attacking. Many other planets in the galaxy have been invaded by the DomZ, but an army of super-soldiers known as the Alpha Sections have come to save the day. They have also found their way to Hillys and begun pushing the DomZ attacks back. But lately they have been becoming ever more frequent, and people have been disappearing without a trace. Meanwhile, Jade, a freelance reporter/photographer, has been asked to join IRIS, a rogue network which suspects that the Alpha Sections are allies of the DomZ. Now the fate of Hillys and its people rests on your shoulders. |

Beyond Good and Evil is easily the greatest release of 2003. It has a healthy share of stealth, action, and adventure. Honestly, it has almost everything possible going for it. The character designs and surroundings supply a perfect atmosphere, and the graphics are superb. The combat is a lot like the 3D Legend of Zelda games, but somehow just feels better. The story is rather clichéd, but the gameplay it has more than makes up for it, and it's not bad. Hidden goodies are abundant, but sidequests are lacking. It doesn't matter to me, though, because I'm not a sidequest kind of guy. Actually, the game is very linear, but still has high replay value because it's just a whole lot of fun. The camera almost never gets in bad spots, and when it does, you can most likely move it. The backup characters do their job and do it well, and they're not stupid. They don't go stand around, telling the enemies to kill them. They have special abilities which you can tell them to use at any time which also come in handy, and are sometimes necessary. The only thing BG&E has going against it is its length. It's really short. I beat it in thirteen hours the first time around, though I'm sure there are others out there that will brag about beating it in five. Anyway, Beyond Good and Evil gets a perfect ten. |
