Early in the game you will be contacted and told that you will be paid for each picture of an organic creature that you take. Jade will also be accompanied by her Uncle Pey'j early in the game, who will tag along on missions, fight with her, and interact with the environment with Jade to help solve puzzles.Īnother element of the game is Jade's camera (in keeping with the whole "budding journalist" theme). While there are only a handful of different enemies in the game, they are creative and fun to fight. Fortunately combat is pretty fun and entertaining. Your super attack can be upgraded, but it makes only minimal difference to the way the game plays. There are only two attacks, one a basic move by pressing the attacking button and letting go, and the other a super attack by pressing and holding the attack button to power up your staff. When you approach an enemy, Jade automatically pulls out her combat staff and assumes a combat stance. The hovercraft also has a useful compass feature, which puts markers that show you what direction to travel in to get to most of the major landmarks in the game.Ĭombat in BGE is simple and relatively basic.
The hovercraft can be used to take you to the capital city, visit shops, deserted islands, pirate coves, and much more. The only way to get to some new areas, however, is to use your hovercraft. The first is by foot, walking from place to place and exploring new areas. There are two primary ways to get around on Hillys. It appears that the Alpha Section is a special unit created by the government to protect against Dom'z attacks, but it quickly becomes obvious that there might be more to the Alpha Section and the Dom'z attacks than meets the eye. Regardless, after you beat off the Dom'z attack the Alpha Section arrives to 'help' after the fact. The game immediately throws you into combat, which is somewhat misleading as the majority of the game will be spent avoiding fights. The game begins with Hillys under attack by the Dom'z, an evil alien race intent on conquering the planet. Jade lives in a lighthouse with her uncle Pey'j, a curious man-pig hybrid, and acts as a surrogate mother to several orphaned children.
The excellent review at of the X-BOX version echoes my thoughts almost perfectly, so I will quote it here: "You play Jade, a young girl and a budding photojournalist on the planet of Hillys. BGE is a true labor of love for Michel Ancel, creator of the popular Rayman games, and his many years of work pays off in spades with a masterpiece that is full of character. Beyond Good & Evil ( BGE) is the rare gem that comes along only every once in a while: a wonderfully fresh and unique game that spans across multiple genres and manages to be better than the sum of its parts.
