Beyond Good And Evil

Vonhelmet · 3 Jul 2006 at 12:22

Did anyone ever play this? It's a few years old and it wasn't a big hit, but I picked it up on ebay for a couple of quid and it's amazing! It's kinda like a Zelda game or something - a big mysterious quest and lots of side things to do. The puzzles are good, the plot is engaging, and it's pretty funny too. I'm loving it.

Anyone else ever played it?

Yeah it was great.

BG&E is easily in the top 5 underrated games ever.

Loved that game, taking the photos frantically earning the cash, I never could do those races though

Just started playing it the other week - then my PC did strange things

Should get back to it tonight after work hopefully

beyond good and evil had the potential to be as great as ff7, but one aspect lets it down massive (spoiler? i dunno. i wont say what). still one of my favourite games however. Also, its far better on the xbox imo. Just seems to run better.

Guess it's rather less underrated now?

I have it on the PS2, it's an amazing game, though, I've got so far and can't get any further so I haven't played it in a while.

BG&E is great fun I found it a little repetitive later on but it is good fun... some of the puzzels are very cunning indeed..

BG&E and LBA 2 are definately in my top 10 of under-rated games.

james.miller · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:01

LBA2? gaaah i wish people wouldnt use acronyms for everything

PinkPig · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:18

LBA2 is absolutely fantastic! I'd forgotten how much I missed that. Little Big Adventure, if you're still stumped ;-)

m4cc45 · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:22

Sorry for the acronymns as the previous poster pointed out LBA = Little Big Adventure - classic sort of 3D/Isometric game... ah they don't make them like they used too...

james.miller · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:24

lol i was kidding. it does ruffle me somewhat with all these acronyms flying about in the games section though

it means i have to google them lol

m4cc45 · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:35

Game acronyms and PC acronymns I can handle it's just some of the other ones in the posts I get confused by TTIUWP (or whatever the heck it is) I still have no idea of...

HangTime · 3 Jul 2006 at 22:47

TTIUWP = "this thread is useless without pictures"

or my preferred translation "hey look at me jumping on the bandwagon using one of those crazy lil' forum phrases, i'm in with the cool gang now"

always really wanted to play this. never found a copy for pc though (that was reasonably priced). :/

james.miller · 3 Jul 2006 at 23:34

that sucks. my mate just got a bundle of 6 or 7 games for his pc of the net for ~£10. one of them was far cry, the other was BG&E

bloody acronyms

try ebay mate. might come up with something

Paul -C- · 3 Jul 2006 at 23:39

LBA (can't remember if it was the first or second) was one of the hardest and most frustrating games I've ever played. But it was strangely fun though!

m4cc45 · 4 Jul 2006 at 09:12

LBA 1 was quite hard - LBA 2 was frustrating in parts but very fun... it was good when you got the little dune buggy and ran things over.. the fighting was also fun... just using that ball thing to hit switches was a pain now and again....

I managed to pick it up brand new from an online shop for the price of the postage

can never be bothered to actually play it though
