Famous for underperforming on release, Beyond Good & Evil is one of Ubisoft's great cult classics. Set on the idyllic world of Hillys, we play as Jade, a photographer who finds herself wrapped up in a shadowy conspiracy as a cell of rebel journalists hires to sneak into the bases of the local military authority, the Alpha Sections, and uncover whatever links them to an invading alien race known as the DomZ. Part stealth, part action, part photography-simulator and part hovercraft driving, the game juggles a lot of hats at once, making it an ambitious title for the early 2000s, and this does mean it doesn't do anything brilliantly, but the powerful atmosphere and shining creativity on display carries Beyond Good & Evil in a beautiful way.
A game that should've been sooo successful. The only problem I have here is that Ubisoft clearly just dumped it here without making sure it worked fine for PC because they don't care about some of the genius games that take control of, becoming the European EA.
Edit: So, this is one of those games that I have played this game multiple times on several consoles because of how much I enjoyed playing this! I've played it on PS2, PS3, PC and I think that's it...really I had enjoyed this so much that I've played it multiple times and also got 100% on it in regards to achievements for the HD versions.
For those who don't know, you play as Jade. A young woman who is a photographer and you can earn cash from recording and documenting creatures of all kinds on the planet for conservation purposes, but the main game is about Jade surviving on a planet that a evil group, known as the Doms are attacking and she soon gets involved in exposing and investigating a conspiracy that ultimately ends up with her saving the universe.
Update: The digital upscaling, like most games is fairly superficial and not really that much different from what can be achieved with emulators and it was sold on the lie that if you buy this, then MAAAAAAYBE the sequel will come out. It was announced to finally be in development several years after this update had been released and as of now, 1st of April 2024, heard no more info about it.

What a game!!! Great story, vas world-building, the OST is a vibe and a fun cast with varied personalities.
My only complaint is the control mechanics that will drive you nuts, especially the camera. Apart from that this is an Underrated game that maybe new-generation gamers will miss out on (HUGE miss, cuz is freaking good).

Disfrute muchísimo con este videojuego y su premicia y jugabilidad tan única. Es muy corto, pero no busca extenderse innecesariamente y logra ser extremadamente único. Quizá su único punto bajo es su extremadamente baja dificultad en todo los aspectos, saque el 100% de los logros con apenas esfuerzo, pero dependiendo de a quien le preguntes, es hasta algo a favor. Es muy recomendable y una experiencia divertida de inicio a fin.
Loved this game a lot. It has such a unique vibe and it really has that 6th generation charm. Too bad that it crashed on my Series X and I lost 3 hours of progress, but I had no problem redoing that because I was enjoying myself so much. It's a simple game with a lot of heart and I see why it's a cult classic.
Mostra toda brilhantina da era Ubisoft. Os personagens são MUITO carismáticos, é um jogo divertidíssimo ainda mais se botarmos que a personagem principal é uma jornalista, e toda trama é em volta disso.
Pensando que é um jogo de PS2 de mundo aberto, veículos, combate aéreo e Stealth, o simples combate corporal passa batido.
CLÁSSICO e super jogável até hoje

While it presented some really good ideas, I kinda dropped off Beyond Good & Evil after a while. I found the world a little too confusing to navigate and the combat kinda staled a little for me. I see why people enjoy it, it just didn't sing to me. But hey, if I ever want to play it again, I've got plenty of time; it sounds like the sequel should be here sometime in the next 57 years.
Um jogo bem autoral e q se permite em tudo, com destaque a trilha sonora e ao humor, pontos q gostei bastante. O combate é bem +/- já que o foco é puzzle e exploração das fases, alternando entre si, não deixando o jogo maçante.
No final é simplesmente o jogo com conspiração alien e base escondida na Lua, muito bom.
