I would say BG&E is one of the single most underrated games of all time, but it got excellent reviews (see bottom of page) it just sold poorly. Mostly because it was overshadowed by more dug in, better advertised franchises and it was a hard concept to explain properly “yeah, you play as this young woman Jade and you take pictures of stuff and you have a half pig guy that helps you” to most gamers (including myself) it sounds boring, but BG&E definitely isn’t, it takes more than a couple of sentences to describe BG&E suitably, everything it does, it does to near perfection. Most importantly it has an excellent storyline, first-rate voice acting and an interesting setting. The main characters are very well done and I actually cared what happened to them. The controls are clean, intuitive and work great. Context sensitive moves are used extensively (like in Resident Evil 4). Graphics are excellent and vivid, and the game is presented in a wide screen format that makes it feel cinematic. The sounds and music are of extremely high quality and some of the best I’ve heard in a game (there’s 1077 original sound effects!) the sounds & music fit the mood of the game seamlessly. BG&E won many awards for its sound, and the music received the award for best video game music from the 2004 MIMPI (marche international de la musique pour I’image) If you haven’t played BG&E you definitely should. 9.0 o’ 10, IGN 4.5 o' 5, The adrenalin vault 9.5 o’ 10, Gamers Europe 9.0 o’ 10, playstation UK 4.5 o’ 5, Game-Spy 8.3 o’ 10, gamespot 5 o' 5, wickedtoast 4.5 o' 5, frictionless insightsRead full review
One of the best games ever made,no matter which console era,it undersold to an odd release with more advertised games.I owned this game when it first came out and enjoyed playing it a couple of times through,but I gave my copy to my cousin who was new to the xbox gaming system at the time,my cousin enjoyed playing it,but his wife really enjoyed it and they both stated that it was,one of there favorite games ever.the reason I bought this game is that I no longer had a copy and I really enjoy the original xbox and this is such a unique gaming experience,I can't think of any other game that has comparable gameplay.i want I like about this game is that it's an action adventure game unlike any other and the graphics really where ahead of their time,plus I don't remember any other game besides (fatal frame)where you use a camera as part of the action.i have heard rumblings of a sequel on the next gen systems which would be a huge surprise due to the lackluster sales of Beyond Good&Evil,but with the power house Ubisoft making and promoting the game I could see the sequel making a retail success.i would recommend this game to each and every gamer out there no matter what genre you enjoy,this game has a little bit of everything.I'm actually looking to buy a Playstation 2 copy for my collection.Please pick up a copy of Beyond a Good&Evil I know you will glad you did,it's fun for the whole family,if you enjoy this game another one I recommend is Armed and Dangerous for Xbox only,it's another cult classic that didn't have retail success due to a weird release,it's a shooter and has cartoon like appearance like a Beyond Good &Evil, two of my all time favorite games,please try them and let me know how you enjoy them by also reviewing them here,thank you for reading my review and I hope it helps you enjoy two unique gaming experiences.Please pass on responsible gaming onto the next generations,Game On.Read full review

This is an old game from XBOX and is rated "TEEN". Everyone can play this game as there is no graphic blood or bad language. It is easy to pick-up on how to maneuver the character in the various segments in the game. And the player gets to use various vehicles as well. Graphics are good too.
The graphics are great, the length of the game is just right (about 12-15 hrs), the world has a little freedom & non-linearity to it, the story is presented very well, the voice acting is top notch, and the world itself is very weird but original.
