  • This is the BEST game in the world, i buyd this in 2004, but my ps2 gone broke so i decided to buy it in HD for the PS3 and i didn't had doubts

  • UBISOFT YOU BETTER KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR DAMNIT! YOU GOT OVER 70,000 PEOPLE WAITING TO BUY THE SEQUEL, THAT'S OVER A 20 MILLION DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET! STOP WHINING ABOUT WHO LIKES IT AND WHO DOESN'T, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING IT YOUR BUSINESS TO PROVE THOSE WACK ASS GAME CRITIC OFFICIALS WRONG. DO YOUR FANS A FAVOR AND GIVE THE GAMING WORLD A RUNNING FOR THEIR MONEYYYYY!

    sincerely,

    a 8 year fan :)))

  • @MiyazakiTsuji gay...

  • the soundtracks in this game are wonderfull to make's me relax ^^

  • This game is still one of my favorite's and not get tired of playing it on the old Xbox.

    The sequel must be just as good, i have the game highly commented for everyone so pls ubisoft dont ruin the game :D

  • the best game I've ever played. I'm so facinated by the game some of the arts I do are based on the game

  • This game is a peice of art no matter what people say.

    It did many things before most games.

    Its graphics were and still are amazing, even in the original, the graphics dont seem much different to the 'HD' remake.

    This game is worth £30+

    So why not pick up the HD remake for a measly £10?

    I dont see why they've done that, hopefully the money they earn, they make a sequel.

    I think the games characters and story deserves it

    Its a good game to get emersed in.

  • This game has to be one of the most beautiful games i have ever played.

    I played it so much as a kid and even though its apparently a HD remake, i dont see many changes at all, the graphics havent improved at all, i dont think it needs to improve.

    And, i dont see how this is a refresher before taking the lid off the series?

    They arent going to make a sequel, theres been one teaser trailer released in 4 years.

    Its a shame Ubisoft havent extended this as BG&E 2 would be a defining game.

  • This is truly one of the most amazing games i have ever played this is definitely the best game ever!

  • this game was given away as a free bonus game when you bought Splinter Cell or Prince of Persia. crazy...this game is a serious gem!

  • I dislike this video but I love the game.

    "If you have never played BG&E before now though, you'll probably still wonder what all the fuss is about."

    What an unfair closing comment! Especially after all the comments about how many things the game did before anyone else. I have just finished this game for the first time and it does a hell of a lot of things better than a lot of games even now. Sure the camera is wonky, but hardly enough to earn the game such derision. And very French? What?

  • "very very french"?

    so Ubisoft is basicly part french but i still didn't get when he ment by that.

  • @existtraiesc I was wondering that myself. The game world is very well realised and never once did I find myself thinking of a specific culture, it's all just so gloriously alien.

  • @JonTheProverbial actually, i find myself around enough cultures in the game. Secundo is spanish, the hovercraft workshop is african, the town makes me think of Venice (kind of). But nothing french. The reviewer wasn't reffering to a french cultural refference in the actual game and that's what made me confused. usually americans reffer to french in a humorous manner.

  • BGE = Beyond Good and Evil = Best Game Ever.

  • This game is EPIC

  • IGN....don't talk shit about this game....

    well..your reviews are shit anyway so.....

  • @LOLyouvids They didn't really talk shit about the game....

  • @biolanty

    they did, they always do...that's the problem...it's never good enough for them

  • @LOLyouvids You do know they aren't allowed to give it a ten right? No game is perfect.

    The "bad" things they said are things everyone knows about and were only given because it was compared to newer games.

  • To everyone who doesn't have this game: BUY IT. NOW.

  • MAKE PSYCHONAUtS HD

  • I wish all the new games were as good as BG&E. I wish that the new games look like the HD remakes because the colors seem like they stick out more, everything looks sharper an they don't have realistic graphics. They look like the Sly Collection, BG&EHD, abd The Jak and Daxter collection.

  • Just brought it for 800 Microsoft points!

    Gutted I didn't get it earlier but it's worth every point!

    Good to have the game back:D

  • Awesome, this version looks pretty nice, and even though I still have my PS2 and the original BGE working, I would probably buy this one too. :D

  • wow I just played the old one on my xbox and I have to say the graphics here are way better... HD FTW

  • I just got this for the 240 MS points on the 29th... man.

    One of my favorite games, only problems are:

    1. Too damn short (Finished a second playthrough in about 6 hours, 1 night)

    2. I can't get back to Hillys after landing on Selene. Any way to get back?!

  • @EvilApple567 no there is no way

  • @wr1jeffey well that's just downright stupid.

  • dont be lame, git it on xbox, ps2, or gamecube

  • its £4 today on the PSN the PSN has a discount on ubisoft titles :D

  • It's on xbox live for 240 Microsoft points for today only!! Downloading it now!!

  • On sale for 240 MS points! Go get it!

  • @austinismadcrunk I am just not sure.

    

  • @RandomizedFails Why the hell not? It's a masterpiece =D

  • @austinismadcrunk Yep...I should!

  • @In8lyre you should've waited till cyber monday it will be on sale 1 day only for 320 microsoft points

  • shut the fuck up. Its because of cocks like you that i have to read about call of duty on every damn video

  • It's only 4 pound on PSN! I just got it :P

  • one thing he points out is controling the camera too much to keep track. generally I think forcing the player to keep track of their enemy is great

  • There is nothing great about the combat in the game, and very little influential about it either.

  • The Demo slowed down during combat when i played it.

  • deserves a 9.0 though classic game

  • i played this for ps2 years and years agoo got stuck on last level and lost it :(

  • definite buy, TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL before I demand you do now. The reviews and videos you see on youtube will give you barely any real feel as to how it really is. it truly is a stunning game even on ps2. it has an amazing atmoshphere and the story is unbelieveably advanced for its age. I'd say its story would outrank many of todays HD games.

  • FUUUUU I got the missing partner glitch :(

  • How is a pig her uncle ?

  • I underestimated this game so much back in 2003. 8 years later I find it AMAZING. Thank god for this remake. Otherwise I would have never played it. Finished it yesterday and looking forward to BG&E2!

  • dwnloading this gme now cant wait 

  • Very good fair review, I hate how people always complain on IGN reviews, But at least IGN actually bothered to review it, un-like most other companies! They didn't knit-Pick and they have Intelligent reasons for it's score!

  • @Splashy151 you review the game yourself instead of other people reviewing it for you.

  • Whats sad is this game was atistic and intelligent, and thats why it didnt sell

  • @erobianrat Yeah, people forget about some of the more artistic games that swallow up modern games easily. Like, "The Longest Journey" Even fallout as popular as it became with Fallout 3, people still don't appreciate how amazing 1 and 2 are. Simply because it isn't as EASY or because of the GRAPHICS. Intelligent games get swept under the table to be replaced by Madden games every year, or any annual (same ol crap) sports game.

  • getting with rayman origins

  • That fucking piece of dog shit game duke nukem forever made more money than this game, that is just sad and pathetic just like DNF.

  • @grkpektis This was a PS2 game, an under rated game that is essentially a cult classic. If you don't like it then fine, but no need to be so hostile.

  • @grkpektis lol stfu

  • @SSZLegacy dude , it was amazing. wat are you talkin about. if you dont like it go back to cod or halo or something dont bitch about it.

  • @SSZLegacy

    are you trolling for attention?!?

    if you think this game is using sex to sell you clearly haven't played it...

    on that note... thank you and good bye.

  • I hope they make a sequel because that game is epic!

  • This game looks good, should I try this version out, or the original? Cause I don't care, just as long if it's good. :)

  • ROFL originally released on the PC and was under rated because it was more of an engaging and in depth game that average console gamers could process.

  • so a 7 year old game is ancient these days?.. what a dumb review

  • @kingteb it's an industry that moves fast so yah you dumb,and he didn't say it was ancient

  • I never minded the camera XD but I'm probably a rare case. This is probably one of my favourite games. The sequel is apparently waiting for the next gen of systems, so we are gunna have to wait at least 2 years or so... :( oh gawd I'll be like 22 XD I was 9 when this first came out...i want the sequel noooooooow

  • @causeforchaos I know, dude. If next-gen gets much worse than this gen in terms of single player gameplay, I might not even buy BG&E 2 just because I won't have a console to play it on. RPGs are about done for, there are hardly any big-name platformers, and shooters are all multiplayer, as well as fighters being pretty much the same across the board. Most of the 'good' games this generation are only 'good' because of the graphics & cinematics, multiplayer, OR (not and) storytelling.

  • @ShyBoy6D9 and uncharted 1,2, or 3?

  • @mepopines

    You Unch fanboys are all the same.

    2 is amazing. Almost perfect, really. 1 is boring and not really worth it. 3 is a bloated overdone abortion with some very good parts.

  • @mepopines I love the Uncharted series, but it's really only the cinematics that make it great. Even the gameplay is 'cinematic,' if you will. All you're doing for the platforming is guiding Drake, and the puzzles USUALLY are so simple that you're just running around doing it rather than using true gameplay to do it. Basically, what I'm saying is that Uncharted is 'movie awesome'; not so much 'game awesome'. The shooting is done very well, however, except for pretty bad pacing in the first game.

  • @ShyBoy6D9

    i feel you. i love me all sorts of games. im no fan-boy of one series or console. i have all.but uncharted(specifically 2) was just the best example of an all around awesome game. start to finish this generation.even 1 was great for when it came out. im honestly stoked for "ni no kuni"..and the new south park game.haha

  • @mepopines Haha, nice. :3 I'm looking forward to Ni No Kuni, too! :D I'm hoping for a wave of amazing JRPGs because I haven't really been into RPGs since the PSone era. Not so much South Park, but I'll give it a try when it's released. It might surprise me. :D

  • I played this demo a few days ago....WHY THE FUCK DID I NEVER GET IT FOR PS2 BEFORE?!!!!!

  • @FranticSelf 'Cause no one else had it, so if we even saw it in stores, we just passed it up because we didn't want to spend our money on a game we knew nothing about, while God of War, Grand Theft Auto, and other popular games were on our minds.

  • @FranticSelf I just got the demo yesterday, and thought the same damn thing.

  • This can't be the newest version of the game. Or can it?

    I remember that I saw extreamly beautiful game graphics and much better gameplay.

    Tell me I am watching some old version of the game.

  • the laser is blue and mothing other ...

  • BEST FRIGGIN GAME

  • Game critics like IGN and gamestop have 3 major flaws.

    1. They are in the developers pocket, if they give games a review lower than a 7 they will simply not get free samples to review anymore which costs them. this turns the entire scale upside down. Bye bye 1-10 scale.

    2. Games are reviewed for very specific variables but the overall fun factor of a game is often overlooked.

    3. New games are often cut down when they don't do the exact same thing as the market leader. Like we want game-clones

  • Weird how there is like 30 Final Fantasy games and we've been waiting 8 years for a Beyond Good and Evil 2, which in my opinion BG&E kicks the crap out of Final Fantasy.

  • So sick of FPS bring back the old third person puzzle action adventure games like BG&E and same for racing games who cares about realistic simulation racing games I want Fzero style games that one was fun.

  • 8.5! I mean it's a good score but come on now REALLY, You guys gave GTA4 a perfect 10 and we all know it's not a perfect, this descreves a 9.5! i'm so tried of amazing, original & creative games like this being over looked cuz of overrated FPS games, I'd say Beyond Good & Evil is one of the greatest video games of all time!

  • This game is amazing, its only years after people are starting to notice it which is a shame.

  • "known as the dongs."?

  • @Spironic Dom'z (yeah... don't ask)

  • Same people who gave Halo 3 a 10?

    I hate game critics.

  • @ICodeInDreams They never gave Halo 3 a 10.

  • @xFIRERUSHx Sorry, you're right, they gave it a 9.5. I think that's still too high when the average reader score on IGN is 8.6 and the average reader score on metacritic is 7.6.

  • @ICodeInDreams Well reader scores, not just for halo 3, for pretty much every game out there is low simply because of trolls. Look at the reader score for say, Galaxy 2 or Twilight princess. Halo 3 is a really great game. It deserves a 9.5 IMO, but I also think Beyond Good And evil does too. I think the reason they gave the HD version lower than the original 2003, is because it doesnt add much, which is true sadly and the camera still bothers me, but i love BG&E and I REALLY WANT BG&E2!

  • @xFIRERUSHx I don't agree that reader scores are low because of trolls, I think they're more accurate than critic's scores. I think LoZelda:TP deserved its 9.1 and SMG2 deserved its 9.4, and BG&E certainly deserved its reader score of 9.5 instead of the 8.6 critic's score (metacritic).

    I personally didn't think Halo 3 added very much from H2, other than the aiming helper which made headshots too easy. Sure Halo 3 was fun, but I didn't feel like it was worth $60 more when it was mostly the same.

  • @xFIRERUSHx I want BG&E2 too... I sure hope it's released in the next couple of years. And that it lives up to the first. I want to know what happened to Pay'j's hand!

  • @xFIRERUSHx I want BG&E2 too... I sure hope it's released in the next couple of years. And that it lives up to the first. I want to know what happened to Pey'j's hand!

  • @ICodeInDreams I loved the new footage. That teaser is actually all in-game engine! And I did like the new releastic designs of Pey'j and Jade. I really want to see what Double H and what those orphans now look like with the new releastic art style. And the thing with the Domz infection of Pey'j's hand is probably some sort of big twist. Like remember when you found out that Pey'j was the chief of the Iris Network. I was like "WHAAAAAT THE FUCK!" And then I started laughing reaaaaally hard.

  • @xFIRERUSHx I know, right? I was like "THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL! No wait. That makes so much sense." I wonder what will happen to his hand. I think he probably replaces it with a robotic hand, powered from the same source as his rocket boots. XD

  • I just started playing the game today! I am already considering it for one of my favorite games. It feels like Metal Gear meets Kingdom Hearts combat system meets Pokemon Snap meets comedy.

  • I thought this game came out in 2003.

  • I got this game for $2.52 at the Ark in my town

    that's the best three dollars I've ever spent.

  • This game just game just has that classic feeling to it. While playing it I often thought back to my childhood playing jack and sly cooper

  • Shouldi get this for ps3? Are the graphics much improved

  • @Pasguiroq

    YES

  • @Pasguiroq I couldn't recommend it enough

  • @Pasguiroq Graphics are a little tweaked but you should defenetly get that game!

  • I am sorry to break it to the people who think it deserves a 10 but no game deserves a 10 because no game is perfect.

  • @XXchumba damn right...

  • @SadisticSivious Have you been listening to Bill Clinton ;)

  • Love this game have it for ps2

  • cant believe this was only 10 bucks lol

  • i don't know why? i never heard of this game back on the last generation of consoles!, it looks and sounds like an amazing game!

  • @Rethidus Jak and Daxter is NOT underrated man! It got like 4 sequals! Jak was pretty much Naughty Dogs mascot until Nathan Drake came along. Beyond Good and Evil really is underrated though...

  • I just bought this TODAY, in its ORIGINAL PACKAGING, WITH an INSTRUCTION MANUAL, and the disk itself relatively SCRATCHLESS. AT A GAMESTOP of all places! What are the chances of THAT!?

  • "zelda-like dungeons" 'coz EVERYTHING needs to be compared to zelda...

  • @beyondnathangames everything needs to be compared to zelda

    halo

    cod

    hell most games which are popular

    its as iff no game can have its own ground now

  • @Arzaker it never negatively impacts the score of the game, they compare it to well know games so people can get an idea of what they are getting into

  • @beyondnathangames Well, there are only a hand full of games that follow the actual formula Zelda used and did it well. Darksiders is one, and BG&E to a certain extent.

  • I also started gaming this generation, like alot more into it, not playing games in general. I bought this game a week ago, and I love it! The game has this charm that you definitely don't see in games nowadays, and its very fun. I am definitely looking out for Beyond good and evil 2, especially since it was recently confirmed that it is still in development!!!

  • For those who say the graphics look/are the same as on the pc...that's impossible. Besides; you're watching this video on the internet...most probably from your COMPUTER monitor.

    Personally, I see a definite difference.

  • @SadisticSivious Are you super cereal?

  • This is the only game I finished like 5 or 6 times. It's a very underrated game! I am going to buy it again!

  • complaing about the camera lol ign ..

  • my xbox 360 is downloading it now

  • reminds me of jak and daxter

  • @MrHunter056 I thought that too the second I played the demo of this. Just as fun at Jak and Daxter. Two amazing, underrated games.

  • Never played this before since I only really got into gaming this generation, just downloaded it today though and it's great! It's got a kind of charm you don't see very often in games anymore, really hope the sequel sees the light of day.

  • this game is amazing it just needs the sequel to come out now

  • @mrsandman500 that woould own so much as this i one of my favorite games of all time

  • @davy1678 also seeing as how ubisoft is in debt beyond good and evil along with assassin's creed, and ghost recon they should be able to pull them out of debt

  • "If you don't buy this game, you're a complete and utter doofus" - Carlson and Peeters page 743.

  • Sadly never played this game on my PS2 eventhough it was a game that I was intereested in. Wasn't going to pass it up this time though, downloaded it not too long ago and don't regret it one bit, awesome game. Holds up very well and is still one of the better games of the last decade. Hopefully we get the sequel at some point fairly soon.

  • I played this game when i was litlle on xbox but forgot its name and when i saw it on psn i was like omg and had to buy it

  • I love this game so much uhhhh

  • short game but for $10 it's worth it. It's a cult classic and the remastered version looks great in 1080p! (Try comparing it the GameCube version played on the Wii on the same TV to really see the difference.) Plus, digital copies can be returned or sold for money, so you have to keep it and play it again. 9.0 out of 10, only because it's a 8 year old game.

  • This derserves at least 9...

  • This deserves a 9.5

  • I've got the PC version of BG&E via GOG. Definately a rocker.

  • the camera was the only minor problem. other than that it was an awesome game that deserves a 9.5

  • I need this game!!! Any1 wanna gameshare over ps3 network? I got ps1 ft VII n re1 and trine and all the games from wellcome back package, we go sametime!!! Add iRasmux

  • I laughed when he said "dongs"

  • I missed out on this game the 1st time around, I hearbits very good I might just need go drop the 10 bucks and give it a shot.....

  • @IRageFox wel now I feel like an ass

  • the dongs? the aliens are called DONGS?

  • just finished, I'd forgotten how awesome it was!

  • This was my all time favorite game :3

    Of course many games ideas were taken from it :D

    Cant wait for the second gaaaame!!!

    THEY BETTER MAKE IT AWESOME!!!

    It seems there stuck in a desert? oh my god it looks so fucking beatiful!!!

    I wanna be able to travel to different towns meet different creatures and take pictures of awesome t hings for big points :D

    I HOPE TO GOT THEY MAKE IT RIGHT!!!!

  • I would've missed out on this gem of a game if it wasn't for my ps3! turned it on one morning to find the demo in the game section!? it's as if the system said " look what you're missing out on you dick "

    Or maybe it was just the playstation-plus pixies...

  • 8.5 raiting!!? had this game on the ps2 and just finished it in hd, the game deserves a 10! : )

  • I bet someone's gonna say it's a rip off '....'

  • The most epic game i ever played. with Unreal 2: The Awakening. waiting for sequels for both..

  • the pearl thing reminds me alot of jak and dexter 1 :)

  • killing giant aliens in your hovercraft is NOT frustrating oO

    the only frustrating thing 'bout this game is, that BG&E2 isn't released yet...

    and the camera sometimes...

    i'd give the game 9.5 - only because of the camera, otherwise there would be 10/10

    never seen a game like this before, sometimes it's kinda like zelda, then you have assassin's creed parts in it, great design... top game!

  • if the second game comes out that might help ubisoft with their defacit :D

  • I completely forgot why I liked games in the first place - the story! The reason for this being that there have been hardly any games released lately that have a story line with such strong characters and imagination as in BG&E. I just hope Ubisoft don't try to incorporate any competitive online multiplayer elements other than leaderboards, although those fail completely in BG&E HD... 2-player online co-op could work nicely but I feel there'd be complications with photography etc.

  • @Nemesane

    Im just hoping the storys as good as the last game and that of course since this is a much bigger game probably we get to travel in a much bigger area :3

    Since the last game was very linear like every area you beat you'd get just the right amount of points to get the next upgrade for your hovercraft so you can go to the different areas that only that upgrade you got could get you too that new level.

    Lets just hope that we get more freedom next game and follow what path that "we" want

  • @Nemesane

    Also getting points not for taking pictures of different species but also from unique or outrageous scenes that happen in the world of Good&Evil

    Like in Dead Rising. I love doing stuff like that :D taking pictures of like an explosion occuring or a wanted person trading drugs with som1.

    Id love that alot and I think it would add alot to the game :3

  • Comment removed

  • @SadisticSivious it looks more like a half man, half bear-pig

  • when i was young i played this games for hours on my ps2, the game is fantastic

  • Is this on PSN in North America?? I know that it became available in Europe on June 8th.

  • on the psn i can buy the trial and the full game upgrade, do i need to download both? ur can i just buy the full game upgrade? :D

  • @Juledass95 When you download the trial, you're downloading the whole game but it will only let you play up to a certain point. The full game upgrade is a very small file, and basically just unlocks the read of the game. So yes, you need both.

  • @Juledass95

    You download the trial, then when you choose to pay for the full game, you download a tiny 100kb file that unlocks it.

  • Is it still in the ps store i dont c it

  • I got this game on PSN with PS+ discount. Yay welcome back pack !

  • WTF? the guy said that good and evil come out in 2004, but it come out in 2003...

  • Quick headsup beyond good and evil 2 will have the same music writer and will be released in the next gen consoles ( ps4)

  • how come the US psn doesn't have this? but the EU does

  • Everyone please buy it if you can! This game deserves all support it can get to promote a sequel =)

  • The first game i bought to my PS2. Ah, the memories.

  • @dededenny

    Its only the demo. You have to unlock The Full game after downloading.
