It’s A Conspiracy, Man
Story: It’s the year 2435 on the planet of Hillys. Our heroes Jade and Pey’j are care-takers of children who are now orphans due to past DomZ attacks.
One day while the DomZ is attacking again, Jade tries to put up the shield but then runs out of power and can’t activate the shield. The attacks then brought some aliens that capture some of the kids. She then rescues them and after she and Pey’j defeat the monster, a news station shows up. Pey’j then calls them out for being late and shoos them away. Jade then finds out that she can get a job as a photographer and earn some money by taking pictures of all the species on Hillys. Because she got this job, she is now recruited by the IRIS network who thinks the Alpha Section (who protects people and planets from attacks) is behind the attacks. But now who can Jade trust? She’s just gonna have to find the truth!
One Super Cool Action Girl!
Gameplay: The game is an action-adventure type. Jade can't jump so this Isn't really a platformer. Jade can run and walk around and fight. She can only fight if there are enemies nearby. When she’s near an enemy, she automatically goes into a fighting position and grabs out her weapon to fight. She can charge up energy to let out a big attack. Pey’j will help out with fighting too.
While walking around places, Jade can take pictures of species and send them into a scientific center to earn some money. She can only take a picture of one species at a time. The more she takes, the more money you can earn and so that the scientific center can do research on Hillys.
In addition, Jade and Pey'j can ride around in a big boat thingy. From there, they can travel around to places in Hillys, such as the city or back to their lighthouse and many other places as the game unfolds. Some areas are restricted by the Alpha Section, to protect you…
There are also many items to buy as well. From food that can refill your health for both Jade and the boat, to boat upgrades and more.
Seeing the Beauty
Graphics: This is one beautiful HD port. From the details on Jade, to the beauty of Hillys and it’s strange creatures. It's a lot of fun to look at. There's a lot of detail and it really shows.
Lifting Your Spirits
Music: The music is pretty good in this game. It’s peaceful and wonderful. From the wonders of the Black Isles to the upbeat racing in the City, it’s a marvel to listen to.
Music is composed by Christophe Héral.
Will You Find the Truth?
Overall: Beyond Good & Evil is a great game. Just like Psychonauts and other games in the early to late 2000’s, were financial failures, but were still loved by many via cult followings. And with this beautiful HD remaster, now you can play this wonderful game.
