Beyond Good & Evil


I played this a while back on the Xbox but never seemed to be able to finish the last boss fight. So I picked it up on the PS2 and finally finished it this month. I felt that it ended at the perfect moment, clocking in at about 10 hours of gameplay. The cutscenes were pretty cool and Disney-esque and the whole experience was certainly above average. I though collecting everything in the game kind of wasted my time and made me feel like the game was tricking me into doing all of the side quest stuff but the dungeons and actual storyline missions were the best part of this adventure (very reminiscent of Zelda!). I thought the side characters were cool such as Uncle Payj and Double H (everyone else was vauge and forgettable). I thought after the final boss there needed to be more closure afterwards but that was all taken away when I watched what happened after the credits! Yeow! Now I hear Ubisoft is making a sequel and I am greatly interested. I am glad I spent the time and money with this game and, though imperfect, I would definitely seek out the sequel for more fun.

On a grading scale I would rate it a solid B.
