The background and developments of BG&E struck me as not only referring to the contemporary 'war on terror', but also subtly hinting about alien abductions on our own planet. She is accompanied at first by her uncle, a humanoid pig by the name of Pei'J, and later by a somewhat eccentric, yet very likeable, male soldier. The protagonist of the game - a lithe, dark-skinned, green-eyed reporter named Jade serves IRIS and is entrusted with infiltrating and exposing the nefarious activities of the Alpha Sections. A resistance ('terrorist') group called IRIS opposes the latter, alleging they work hand-in-glove with the DomZ. The adventure is set on an aquatic planet called Hillys which is under attack by an alien race called the DomZ (who definitely look otherworldly), and is ostensibly defended by a military force - the Alpha Sections. The storyline and characters are easily one of the strongest and most remarkable aspects of BG&E. The synthesis of stealth and photography is also noteworthy in this regard. Having a hovercraft as the initial means of transportation is one example another is the unique fighting system by which the Y-button is used to activate a special move by a second character which enables the main character to launch a targeted attack that is utilized not only to defeat enemies, but also to overcome obstacles. The distinctiveness that constitutes the hallmark of this title is evident in the gameplay. There are a couple of mini-games to boot. Each and every one of these is implemented skilfully and smoothly integrated into the game: at times, two are combined (for example photography during combat). These include platforming, puzzle-solving, stealth, photography, hovercraft racing - and, of course, combat, both vehicular and on foot. Usually videogames have two or three gameplay elements: BG&E has half a dozen. Beyond Good & Evil (hereafter BG&E) is unquestionably one of the latter - a title that demonstrates what Ubisoft are capable of. Some games are made simply and solely in order to sell, and some are designed in order to showcase the creativity and talents of the developers.
