Pros: The game is well crafted for its age, and the graphics while dated are buoyed up by the art style. The characters are more engaging than game characters usually are. The world that has been crafted is engaging, and the story is interesting enough that I found myself playing just to learn what happened next.
Cons: This is obviously a console port and has numerous control, camera, and mechanics issues that stem from that. The mechanics get a little bit stale, and the combat is extremely simplistic.

this is a game where action and rpg meets well the story line is actualy decent
MUSIC-the sound track of the game is good not great but good even for a pc game most cosel to pc games they take the original and converte it to midi format like final fantasy 7 and 8 but this one they take the original and leave it
graphics- im not a gammer who really cares for graphics its the fu that counts but if i had to look at it graphicaly i would say for an early original ps2/gamecube./pc game it looks very well done you hardly notice rendering which is the only thing that throws me off i cant stand it for some reason.
story: if you havent played it before it is interesting funny at times and very well written most rpg/action game dont have a story to follow it just go here go there go back there to go here ect but this one has a good story and worth checking out
game play replay/ it is really replayable it is just too much fun
my final score 7/10 some people dont know how to review a game lol just kidding

Good RPG game. A five star in my estimation. Has some very comical characters and dialogue. Very good storyline about a girl trying to save her planet helping an undergound, grass roots organization. Good cut scenes to enhance the game play. Easy combat and movement play. I did like the boss fights. They were challenging, but a first timer coule eventually get through them. Some areas were somewhat hard to figure out what you were supposed to do, but all in all was not too difficult. Does make you think about your strategy. Somewhat linear, there are some "quests" you have to do before you can get to other areas. Not very good replay value, but does take some time to get through everything, so for the price a good value.

I first heard of Beyond Good and Evil about 3 years ago, when it was featured in a video games magazine's Top 10 underrated PC games list. Because of that list, I had been looking to buy the game, but found it difficult to find in shops because it wasn't particularly well known. I saw it here on Gamers Gate and so had to try it for myself. I have to say that it doesn't disappoint when the age of the game is considered. The graphics are still reasonable today, and the controls are very easy to pick up, and become intuitive very quickly. There are not many better games that are available for £3.99. For fans of adventure games - Beyond Good and Evil is a must!

I remember hearing about this 6 years ago but never actually played it. So six years later here it is on GG for 5 bucks, I figured why not, I'll eat ramen instead of Subway today. Wow, what a nice surprise! If you're into action/adventure games, give this one a try. The graphics hold up reasonably well, the story is fleshed out, game mechanics are fun. Sure, it's short and the combat system is very simple (and sometimes the stealth missions can get annoying) but it's well worth the five bucks.

Beyond Good and Evil is a magical game. It will take you from your little room and bring you to an universe of faery.
Even if there are parts of that game which are kind of Lara-Croft style, the characters are lovable, and action is not forgotten, with a handful of fine bosses, plenty of different games in the game, plenty of action and really likable graphics.
I advise particularly to offer this game as a gift, as there is no much violence and as it will please to girls and childs (over 7-8)
I cannot understand why this masterpiece did not reach a wider audience in the game charts. It's a must-have !!!
For a bad senior gamer like I, you should count on 15 hours to finish the game.
