Beyond Good & Evil [eng]

Beyond Good & Evil combines elements of an action-adventure game with those of a stealth-based game, among other genres. While Jade has the ability to attack enemies with her Daï-jo combat staff, she can also crawl and sneak around when necessary to avoid confrontation with enemies that outnumber her or are too powerful to engage in combat. At times, it is only possible to advance or defeat a certain enemy with the help of her friends Pey'j and Double H, creating an additional element of teamwork. Pey'j and Double H are mostly AI-controlled in that the player does not ever directly control them; however, the player can tell them to execute specific actions when those actions become available. For example, in combat, the player can order them to perform a "super attack."

Being a reporter, Jade has access to a camera. This camera is mostly used to take pictures of animals (often to exchange for currency) and to get evidence of certain actions or objects that may help to expose a military conspiracy.

Traveling around the world of Hillys is accomplished via an upgradeable hovercraft, which is also used for races and other mini-games. The main city in which the player begins serves as a hub allowing the player access to the various areas they must explore in order to expose the conspiracy.

The game also has an on-line component called "The Darkroom" where registered players may enter scores.[2] The score depends on a number of variables, such as the number of pearls found, the number of pictures taken, the minigames won, and the time taken. The score works the same no matter what platform the game is played on. After entering the code, there is an online minigame that, upon winning, gives the player an in-game code unique to their save file. This code unlocks a customizable minigame.
