Beyond Good & Evil HD (xbox 360)
I guess I have an excellent xbox 360 game to share here
Quote:
Beyond Good & Evil HD is almost exactly what its title suggests—a high definition version of Michel Ancel’s critical darling and financial flop. If you’ve never played the original game, this is good news for you, as it’s still one of the best action/adventure games out there. As wonderful as it is to introduce this game to an entirely new audience, the method in which it’s done is a bit lazy.
Aside from achievements and the baffling addition of leaderboards, BG&E HD is essentially the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube version of the game running in 1080p. There are no extras, no improvements to the character models or textures, no gameplay improvements, and no additional areas. If you’re a fan of the original, then there’s nothing here to justify repurchasing it beyond the nostalgia and joy the game provides.
That said, Beyond Good & Evil was a criminally ignored game that has withstood the test of time. While you will have to make a few concessions for the era in which it was developed, the game feels largely modern, at times even moreso than many of today’s games. The way new gameplay elements arise is not unlike a good Nintendo game—think Zelda, before they started treating their audience like morons.
