Title: beyond good & evil
Post by: clips on November 09, 2003, 11:20:57 AM
Has anybody been  thinkin\' bout picking this one up? Looks like it has potential to be a AAA title. I\'ve also been thinkin bout prince of persia. I still have that game for the turbo-graphx-16! anywayz  i\'d post pictures but i don\'t know how to. I\'m sure it\'s simple but i\'m just lazy. I think kurt angle is the picture man around here..meh!  any thoughts on this one?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ps: you can also check out the trailers  at  gametrailers.com.

What was wrong with it? I might just have to rent this one,which is something i don\'t normally do. I just buy them and say the hell with it. But can you elaborate on the gameplay?

I found the demo quite good, not great though, and I have a hard time believing this will be a classic. It should be a good one nonetheless though

I\'ve already pre-ordered it.    I can always get a refund on the reserve but it\'s been getting good enough impressions to warrant an investment of my time...

I pre-ordered the cube version so I won\'t get it until Dec. 2nd

that\'s weird. usually when they cross platform they all come out the same day

I\'ve also read great things about this game too, but i\'m not to keen as to what it\'s about.  From the screens i\'ve seen it looks like the best ps2 game graphically to come out so far.

Ditto. I have been keeping an eye on this game since day one. I will most likely buy it. I was kinda let down when they switched the look around a bit from the first trailer which had me hooked. I was hoping the music was similar because there have been very few games with really good music, especially good jungle,DnB or Ambient. Doubt it though

yea i was wondering if anybody else felt that way.I was hooked on it from the first pic which featured the original jade model. The jade they have now is ok but i preferred the first one.

just picked this up last week. And it is an amazing title..graphics,story..very well done. The world of hillys is a very animated world which engulfs you fully! highly recommended.

 ps: I think ginko will agree with me as well. I know he\'s getting the cube version so i\'ll be waiting for his review as well.

FINALLY got the game...well worth the wait.:)

I\'ve spent around 4 hours with it and as of the moment it\'s damn near perfect.  My only gripe is the lack of health but perhaps I should stop being so careless...

The controls are really easy to pick up and use for the game\'s objectives.  Fighting, exploring, snapping pictures (it\'s more fun than it sounds)...control and gameplay is solid.

The game definitely has character.  The world is nice to look at and explore, the characters including the NPCs are quite likeable, and the story is interesting...although a bit confusing at this point (that\'s to be expected though as they explore this big conspiracy).

If you like adventure games then you should pick this game up.

yea i\'d figure you\'d like it. the story gets a little predictable towards the end, but it\'s still an excellent title,..it has sleeper hit written all over it

How long is it for what skill (could i beat it while renting it?) and hows the replay value. Thats all i need to know.

Oh and what platform are you playing on?

Post by: clips on December 16, 2003, 06:24:37 PM
i\'m not sure about the replay value. i beat it & haven\'t gone back to see if there are any extras in the game. i leaning towards once you beat it that\'s it. took me 15 hrs to beat,..only because i couldn\'t figure out a certain puzzle. I played it on ps2 they say x-box is the best but there really is no difference that i can tell. maybe ginks can fill you in more.

I chose the GC version only because I like the GC controller more than PS2 or Xbox.  The game is not hard and I want to say it\'s rather easy.  

There\'s a good mix of stealth action, fighting, and exploring.
