This is a superb action adventure I just bought. I just thought Id share my views with my favourite gamers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
What they say:
Expose the conspiracy, Capture the truth. As the rebellious action reporter Jade, you must penetrate your leaders web of lies and expose their dark secrets. Your mission: To expose a conspiracy that has corrupted the harmony of your planet and bred an evil that must be fought. Working with your friends help, using the only weapon with enough power...the Truth.
What I say:
Beyond good and evil is a 3d action adventure with a difference. Dont expect a whole bunch of jumping puzzles or a great deal of combat, this is a thinking game. Jade is a photographer (Yes, you heard me) and a lot of the game will be spent trying to take a good shot with your camera. One of the over-riding quests is to photograph all the lifeforms on the planet, and trust me, it will take a lot of skill to do so, and if you have patience, you will have a lot of fun trying.
The Domz have been at war with all sentient species for years, slaughtering countless numbers in their raids. Against them stand Alpha Section, a group of armoured warriors, apparently protecting the innocent. Well, at least they show up whenever the Domz do.
Hillys is a peaceful world until the Domz arrive, Jade and Pay'j live in a lighthouse, taking care of refugee children from the war. Desperate for cash they cant even pay to erect thier shield when the Domz attack. All the children almost die, but for the bravery and ferocity of Jade and Pay'j. So desperate for work are they that when a dangerous photography job comes along they take it. But all is not as it seems and before long they are neck deep in the rebellion.
The game mostly consists of sneaking about as Jade and taking photos of things that will incriminate the Alapha Section. The world is large and well realised, the graphics will make you drool. There is a day and night cycle (You can even photograph various constaletions), lots of people wander the streets and the air is filled with spaceships.
Sound and music are fantastic, I have even found myself wandering around singing some of the songs (Scary huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />). When you first start you can overhear people talking about how good Alpha Section is, and how much they are helping. As the game goes on and you expose more and more of the truth people will talk about it, it gives the feeling of a living world, like your actions matter. Eventually you will lead the whole planet to rebellion......but I wont tell you anymore, saving Hillys is up to you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
