Yes! Yes yes yes!! These days Ubi-Soft are most definately my favourite third party developer. XIII, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell and of course Beyond Good and Evil have all been brilliant games, the last one especially so.

It was new, and original, yet it had the dungeon puzzles of Zelda, the fighting system like Starfox Adventures but no where near as weak, the collecting pictures sidequest that harked back Pokémon Snap on the N64, it was all there. Plus great characterisation, funky graphics, mini-games, quite a few non-essential bits and bobs to collect and Jamaican Rhino Mechanics for goodness sake! What more could you want from a game?

Ok, I've raved about it enough. If you've played it like me, the ending screams for another part to be made (especially if you watch until after the credits..) and our favourite second-party developer has answered with the promise of two sequels. Rejoice!

A trully great game. That alike most games that are brilliant. Are overlooked for the crap like Tekken and Fifa.

Shame on you people who haven't given this game a try.

Ubisoft are brilliant producers, although Rainbow Six 3 on Cube was crap cuz there was no online.

The "missions/dungeons" were sort of mediocre, but everything else about the game was fantastic, other than how small it was.

I loved the music the best, but Hillys and the characters weren't far behind.

It's only £20 - anyone can afford it (and so, you should go out and buy it)! :)

I'm all for the idea of a sequel to this game (even though I have detered from finishing it, also...), but is making this game a 'Trilogy' - the new 'in thing' with movies and games alike - really such a good idea?


Though, if they've really spent as much time and effort on it as you say, I guess the 2 follow-ups could be of an equally strong quality...

Pah. 2 years from now, people who haven't already bought into it could get the 'Beyond Good and Evil Trilogy' set for only an extra £20 ontop of the price of your average game! :P

It'll happen eventually I'm sure. Ubisoft spent years building the BG&E universe, I think they'll give the franchise another try. And anyway, they did recently buy beyondgoodandevil2.com & beyondgoodandevil3.com.

You've made my day, the first was great (although once completed was... pointless).

I have, but I haven't completed it yet. It was quite engrossing, but got kinda samey.

I'll finish sometime, though. And was it me, or did the stupid computer annoy you everytime he said Jade?

Aaar.

You people are making me want this game, and, though I know I would have no use for it, I I feel as if I need to get it.

I need job.
