This was a nice game. Nothing groundbreaking, mechanically or story-wise, but just nice all around. That's pretty much the mantra for the major gameplay elements of this game; the platforming, stealth, driving, and puzzle-solving. All simplistic by itself, but a decent package overall. Story was pretty good here, specifically the setting, premise, and characters. Even with the stiff voice-acting, I really liked Jade. We should have more down-to-earth, likeable protags like her in games.
A ideia principal é encarnar uma jornalista investigativa em um mundo fantástico, sob influência de alienígenas, e coletar provas da presença e das atividades maléficas dos invasores, para gerar uma revolta popular e salvar o planeta. Um misto de stealth, ação, puzzle e adventure tornam essa obra com forte traço autoral de Michel Ancel um clássico de sua época.
[Breve análise]
É simplesmente genial como a mecânica de tirar fotos influencia na economia do jogo e agrega no contexto da história, que inclusive, é excelente. O combate é bem limitado e o stealth envelheceu muito mal (especificamente a câmera durante o stealth, é terrível). Esse é um dos jogos mais dignos de um remake atualmente, não sei o que estão esperando.
9/10

“Safe and Sound in its Shell, the precious pearl is the slave of the currents.”
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.

Bueno, sin más.
- Que digo que cómo le metemos algo de dificultad a la batalla final?
- Pues io ke cé, hulio, haz que se inviertan los controles y a pastar.

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.
Where's Beyond Good & Evil 2 :'(
Review in progress:
Pretty average. The Zelda elements aren't very interesting.

Meio ambicioso para sua época (e mandou bem até), o combate não envelheceu nada bem mas não é nada injogavel, e é impressionante a diferença da antiga Ubisoft para a atual. Enfim, jogão.

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

Beyond Good & Evil 2 nunca vai existir porque não precisa existir. E porque os caras que tão lá claramente não querem fazer Beyond Good & Evil 2 de fato, mas isso é só um detalhe.
This game has so much personality and charm that its a crime I didn't play it until I got it free with gold.
i really admire how much personality is in this game, not to mention the soundtrack is just beautiful
Experience of a lifetime, there's beauty on how ephemeral it is. It even affects the gameplay. You gotta play it to get what I mean
I like the world and characters, but not the gameplay. This game could use a proper remake rather than just a remaster.
This is basically Zelda + Pokemon Snap and I had no idea until I played it.
It's so much fun and I absolutely adore the world they built here. Highly recommend.

I have to say I feel kinda bad talking about this game, because I earnestly wanted to like it. It's known as a bit of a cult classic in gaming circles, so much so that, a few years back, Ubi announced a sequel/prequel. Which has been in radio silence for a while. Anyway.
BG&E does feel like a complete package, at first glance. Female protagonist, original mechanics, an unusual setting... The thing is, the definition of "classic" definitely does not apply to it. This is a game that needed more than an HD remaster, it needed an actual remake to fix its technical issues.
The camera is the biggest offender. It is god-awful. It sways all over the place to the point of causing actual motion sickness, and it almost always forces an inadequate perspective on the scene, such as too close to your character or staring at the floor. There's a case to be made for the necessity of reviewing the entirety of the control scheme, but the camera by itself is the cause of so many silly deaths, it makes the game a frustrating experience.
With actual effort put into updating it to modern standards, BG&E could shine, but as it is, it's a clunky game, hard to convince people to play. And seeing the state of BG&E2's development and how Ubi is looking to crowdsource parts of it... well, it doesn't seem like the original has much of a chance of being looked at again.

While this game's writing seemed pretty good, the gameplay parts of this game bored me without exception, and I fell off pretty early. I found the stealth tedious, and I got lost and confused navigating the world. Combat wasn't great either. While the writing seemed pretty good, I just couldn't get that enthusiastic about actually playing it.
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.
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.
The 4 or so hours I played was kinda good but wow is this game overrated beyond belief. I might return to it but eh probably not.
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).

the ps2 was full of this type of game this one is one of the good ones but idk if i would put it on a pedestal next to something like Psychonauts or even something like the first sly cooper
I remember just wishing it was longer when I finished it.
Digital
another gem from another generation - a super likeable cast of characters, interesting world and fun gameplay loop help ground the pretty wacky ‘end of the world’ story. bonus points for some killer soundtrack highlights
When I played this on 360, I understood what all of the hype was about. This game was dope.
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.

I love everything about this game. From its world, its characters, the simple story, its music, and its french comic aesthetic. This is a personal favorite. Final boss battle is kinda eh though.
