 A great game you've never heard of March 31, 2008
Ubisoft's 2003 release of Beyond Good and Evil went by without much spectacle. I myself didn't hear about it until a few years afterward, references to it as being a great sleeper hit. And it wasn't until 2008 that I got around to playing it.
It's very apparent the game was inspried by the legend of Zelda series, especially the Ocarina of Time / Windwaker. It is a bit more stealth instead of straightforward combat, but the general feel and interface is very similar. Of course, that's not to say it's a bad thing. While it doesn't quite measure up with the Zelda games on sheer gameplay alone, this game has something Zelda game don't: an excellent plot and characters.
The game took me about 10-12 hours to play through (I wanted to collect everything you could in the world) and it was enjoyable throughout. It was just about the perfect length to not get bogged down on.
Just about the only thing that gets the game 4 stars instead of 5 is some annoying camera issues that tend to crop up at bad times (like when you're trying to sneak past somoene, something you'll be doing a lot of in the game) and the controls felt just a little sticky/delayed...though this might be just the nature of the game showing its age.

 Best Playstation 2 game EVER! November 4, 2007

I'm a gamer, but I'm not typically into platformers. I usually find them a bit too junior for me. But when I heard about this on G4 listed as the most underrated game on ps2, I had to go out and buy it. I paid $20 for it brand new, and I feel like it would have been a bargain at twice the price! As a photographer, the gameplay is close to my heart. I love the music, the characters, the storyline (a timely storyline at that.) and the characters are awesome! The Rhino brothers at Mamago garage are fantastic!
The world is a great blend of fantasy, sci-fi, and elements that are somehow familiar and comfortable like a worn in pair of jeans. Which makes you want to fight even harder to protect it! Pick it up if you're on the fence about it. Do it... you won't regret it!
Fantastic, beautiful game! August 14, 2007

I highly recommend this game. The graphics are terrific, not only in the cutscenes but throughout the whole game. Real voices are used about 80% of the time and the voice actors are terrific and lend drama to the story. (The rest of the time you read brief text when you talk to another character). The story is very interesting and occasionally quite moving. As Jade the spy/reporter, you sneak around taking incriminating photos to help expose a horrible plot taking place on your planet. The sneaking parts get really tense sometimes! The gameplay has a good amount of variety: spying & exploring, races, fights, puzzles, photographing things, and two different vehicles - a hovercraft and a spaceship.
There are objects to find and money to acquire for personal & vehicle upgrades. The maps are pretty good and you can buy items to help you locate pearls (one of the currencies in the game) and animals (you take photos of them and the Science Center gives you $$$). You have two companions in the game who help you solve puzzles or achieve things you couldn't do alone. The music is good and the worlds are big and beautiful - you can go everywhere and explore.
I picked it up used for $8 - what a deal! I'd really recommend this to anyone, especially someone who liked titles such as Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Prince of Persia, the Hobbit, Ico, even Zelda (which I did not like because the maps were so confusing). This game is challenging but almost never frustrating. Parents - there is no cussing, no sexual references, no drugs, smoking and only mild violence (fighting aliens & armed men in spacesuits) - no blood or gore at all. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!! There are one or two scenes of a person being tortured (both the people are in a giant tube filled with "alien rays" - no blood, machinery, etc.) In one scene a main character lays dead but later is brought back to life. Children are attacked by aliens and later kidnapped by them. Humans are kidnapped by aliens and turned into food a la "Soylent Green" and then eaten by other unwitting humans (not on screen). The heroes set out to rescue them and save the planet.
