Beyond Good & Evil 2003

Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft Montpellier's 2003 third person action adventure with puzzle solving and stealth, directed, designed and written by Michel Ancel. It came out first on the PlayStation 2 and then on Windows, Xbox and GameCube. On the mining planet Hillys, under siege by aliens called the DomZ and ruled by a military dictatorship, the Alpha Sections, the young photojournalist Jade works with a resistance movement to reveal an alien conspiracy. She fights with the Daï jo staff and discs. You photograph wildlife and evidence for money and scan objects, and a hovercraft is used for travel, racing and minigames, with pearls buying upgrades, some of them needed to reach certain places. Photography, stealth, hovercraft racing, melee and exploration are mixed so that no single mechanic wears out, and that is the reason to play it now.
