If I don't like puzzles will I like Beyond good and evil?

I like sci-fi and games that have an epic feel to them. From what Iv'e seen the game seems a little cartoony to me. This is a big turn off for me. Is the game get silly or does it take itself seriously.

Iv'e played the jak and daxter trilogy many years ago and really enjoyed that hoping this is somewhat similar.

How hard are the puzzles and are they very well incorperated into the game? Do the puzzles suck you into the atmosphere of the game so you don't even really notice that your doing one? (like god of war)

They aren't thinking thinking puzzles, you will like it.

It's not a hard game by any stretch of the imagination. (it's an overrated game though. Seriously, I'm shocked at the praise this title gets. What is so great about it? Sure it's enjoyable to play, but nothing beyond that)MaryAnnBugg

I for one really avoid cartoony-kiddie-friendly games, but for some reason, I gave BG&E a chance and enjoyed it immensely. The story really drew me in. The gameplay mechanics were pretty standard fare but everything else like the sounds, music, voice acting and the story were really made with high-production values. I'm still eagerly awaiting the sequel since the first game ends by showing you something that obviously screams "SEQUEL"!futs22

Absolutely one of the top five games of my LIFE... I agree with the above 100%!!! The "cartoony" nature of the game will be quickly left behind as you fall in love with the characters and the story... I still turn on my game and go sit in the bar to listen to that song play! The puzzles are centered around lever-flipping to open passages and some minor side games like Three-Card Monty (or "Find the Queen" where you follow the card in a shuffle and you just need to keep your eye on it). Mostly it's a lot like other 3D platform/ adventure games but with a lot more to draw you into the plot. To me, the game is gorgeous to look at, too. The enemies and bosses are so psychedelicly well-done...

Personally, it was and still is one of the high watermark games of the last console series and one of the reasons I will make sure to always have a functioning PS2.

I plan on getting that game for my GC because of all the praise it gets. I must check it out!

I'm not much of a puzzle fan and the stuff in Beyond Good and Evil isn't that hard it's a good game I was surpised how much I enjoyed it's the best game Ubisoft has made I think. I'll be getting Beyond Good and Evil 2 as soon as it comes out.

Thanks everyone for posting especially futs22 and ston3henge, you sold me on it. Also I mentioned the Jak games to show a game that has a some what childish style that I did enjoy. I was purposefully contradicting myself to show that I don't completely out rule playing those type of games.FreshWhiteBread

No worries... I think you'll find that "Beyond Good & Evil" is a LOT more non-kiddie than Jak games were. It's so good, I might even pop it in the machine tonight now, been on my mind! You gotta love a game that has a pig with fart-powered rocket boots!!! Hey - I said it was non-kiddie, I never said it was mature!

:D

But the story and the characters are so well done, can't wait for the sequel... and i would agree that it's gotta be one of the best titles ever to come from the UbiSoft Studios!

It's not a hard game by any stretch of the imagination. (it's an overrated game though. Seriously, I'm shocked at the praise this title gets. What is so great about it? Sure it's enjoyable to play, but nothing beyond that)MaryAnnBugg

And as if on cue, they announce today that BG&E2 will be delayed... :cry: THAT would make me invest in the next-gen systems, that game will be the "must-have" app I've been waiting for... guess i can save my money (or blow it on Legacy titles!!!)
