Beyond Good and Evil HD on 360

Beyond Good and Evil HD Screen Shots

Beyond Good and Evil HD is a Adventuring game available on the 360. It can be played in Singleplayer Thirdperson modes.

Beyond Good and Evil HD is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Beyond Good and Evil HD can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Beyond Good and Evil HD can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Scared Gamer review Sun, 03 Jul 2011

Beyond Good and Evil HD updates the 2003 original with re-mastered graphics and audio. The game holds up incredibly well thanks to its immersive world and story, but some interface issues mean it can't completely hide its age.

I bought Beyond Good and Evil on the day it was released. At the time I was busy with studies, clubs, a girlfriend and a job so it sat un-played. Slowly I bought more games, and more, until it eight years had passed and I never returned to it. But with others singing its praises, it slowly climbed in my expectations. Then Ubisoft announced that they were to release it on the 360, exactly the same game just rendered in HD and downloadable for a reasonable 800MS points. It was a perfect excuse to try it, but I was scared that it would fail to reach the high expectations set by my mind.

Returning Gamer review Fri, 22 Apr 2011

When Beyond Good and Evil was first released, I was too busy drinking vodka and watching Cheers in Norwegian to notice. Ah, university.

Eight years and plenty of hangovers later, I'm playing the recently released HD remix if only to shut up friends who can't believe I haven't played it yet. The action adventure, in which photojournalist Jade becomes the focal point of an uprising against a corrupt planetary government, is as revered as they come. Yet for all that I'm not so sure the game stands the test of time.
