Some games are given so much hype, that when they come out there are very disappointing. Others fly below the radar and sneak up on you for a very nice surprise. Beyong Good & Evil falls into that 2nd catagory.
The gameplay is a mixture of stealth, action, driving, Pokemon Snap, and a couple other genres. It's VERY rare that a game can mix so many styles of gameplay together and still get it right. Most of the turns out to be quite bad.
The storyline is pretty good. It keeps you wanting to see what happens in the end, which is always important. The graphics are very nice, as well. They are not the best I have seen on the Xbox, but you won't be complaining. The music & the voice acting is actually very good. In short, I was VERY surprised to find that I loved this game and I hope they make a sequal. It is a game everyone should try and give a chance. I don't think you would be disappointed.
