"Get Beyond Good & Evil"

Really, this is a brilliant, brilliant game.

Yes, it only lasts around 10 to 15 hours, but the gameplay makes up for that tenfold. It's one of the best games I've played in ages and up there with the likes of Zelda as an astounding adventure title.

Plus, it's only £20.

Really, if it doesn't get a sequel, I'm blaming you lot.

Way ahead of you...

Although in Cambridge the game cannot be found anywhere and my small independant retailer got 6 in and has 1 left.

So hopefully it is doing well.

Prince of Persia on the other hand has a REALLY bad camera... I noticed it was annoying before but fighting a hoard of birds through whilst looking at a leaf is far harder than it should be.

It's not REALLY bad. I think it's pretty good most of the time, and only occasionally does it get stuck behind things. It gets slightly worse towards the end, but I used that cinematic camera for all that outside tower climbing, because zooming in on yourself just looks so cool.
I thought Prince of Persia was awesome, and even though it wasn't very long, that's how I like my games nowadays.
When I get a spare £20 I'll buy BG&E because it looks like my sort of game, although I don't think it'll be as good as PoP.

Yeah I prefer short games these days.

Zelda is an exception mind.

POP is great... I just slammed through 20% of the game and i loved it.

But the camera got in the way at least 25 times... it drove me to distraction.

You have to put some effort in and control it yourself.
I thought that Zelda was a good length. Took me about the same time to complete as PoP I think. Maybe a bit more.

Zelda took me about 3 weeks of solid play. POP has nearly been finished in a little over a week of on-off play.

POP is fantastic... but when the camera keeps switching back to it's fixed position, zooming around behind curtains, leaves etc... it makes me want to scream.

The game is brilliant but the camera would have made it one of the games of the generation... like XIII there is just one flaw that damages the game as a whole.

One flaw that both games should be fixed by a well placed sequel.

What flaw is that in XIII?

Not a major flaw only a few small flaws.

Dated control system...

Loading...

Too easy...

Worlds Worst Multiplayer.

To be continued?

But like POP it is so damn amazing... just the odd flaw that means Ubi-soft are about to match RARE, Free Radical, Namco, Capcom, Nintendo, SEGA, Konami and square as one of the best companies ever... but not quite there yet.

I loved the ending, and it wasn't so easy that you didn't enjoy it. Plus you can change the difficulty.

Can't see anything wrong with the control system, mind, they're fluid, easy-to-use, no problems.

Multiplayer is a disaster though.

How bad is loading?
