The stories and characters of Fatal Frame II, Kingdom Hearts, Eternal Darkness, MGS2 and 3... even stuff like Killer 7 and San Andreas were much more affecting, emotional, surprising and innovative than what was going on in BG&E. For me, it never held a candle to any of those games.

I, for one, would absolutely love a sequel. Joe,

I, for one, would absolutely love a sequel.

I SO wanted to love this game, but it was hyped beyond all satisfaction. The story was a by-the-books sci-fi cliche, with nothing of the epic scale or grandeur promised by a lofty title like "Beyond Good and Evil." Want some spoilers? The first ugly guy you meet is the baddie, the mayor gives Jade the key to the city after two seconds of thought, the city environments are only about 5% explorable, you blow the cover off the whole evil operation with only THREE photographs, every person you meet is exactly what they seem, and Soylent Green is made from people. I cannot get behind this game. Urgh. I SO wanted to love this game, but it was hyped beyond all satisfaction.
