This game was so under-appreciated when it came out in 2003. It only had one E3 commercial, and not many people liked the idea of another wave of talking crime-fighting animals.
The reason it did not sell well (if you ask me) is because it was released when the other UbiSoft game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time came out. All my school friends got that game and I received this game for my birthday. I considered trading it for PoP but when I started playing I couldn't stop, its so good!
It's also available for PC on GOG, Steam and Gamersgate. To run the game on a modern system (i.e. not older than 5 years) just turn off HW Vertex Processing in the Advanced Settings menu.
Wow how unexpected! This game is on sale and I was totally NOT going to buy it, but I thought what the hey, I'll check out a review of it just to make sure. I'm glad I looked up this review in particular. I didn't know it was made by the creator if Rayman. Great review, all of that AND space is involved. They have my money now.
I guess I must be in the minority but I honestly don't see the big deal about this game. I'm playing it right now and honestly it's no where near being the "Amazing Gem of a game" everyone keeps exaggerating it to be. Maybe I'm just spoiled with all the current open world games but yeah this game is kind of boring me. So far I'd give it a 6/10 at best.
When people write this kind of comments or say things like that its because they are expecting too much when play the game, just play it, pay attention to the game and finish it.
No, but you can find a PC version of the original at Target for $8 or so. This game still looks good without the HD textures, considering it isn't using a realistic art style.
I feel like I missed something. I like adventure games. I like quirky game. I played this game when it first came out and it bored me. I didn't get what the hype was about. Did I play it wrong or something?
This game seems pretty interesting, I think I might try it out. But if I do, can anyone tell me some factors that make this game excellent? If anyone can tell me, thanks for the help. :)
I got this when it came out on ps2 but never finished it so I got the hd version and I'm thinking to my self why did I never finish it I'm playing it right just to finish this
Picked this up last year but still yet to play. It looks superb but I really don't like the character design. I find them really ugly and never been a fan of talking pigs.
you speak as if you worship this game! you did not talk about anything other than the character, and how good the game is .. gameplay? sound? story? nothing! if anything at all , you discouraged me from getting it! this is not the first or the last game with a strong female MC okay? no need to start building a worship shrine yet!
Not really feeling the hyper realistic look they're going with the sequel. The stylized visuals were part of the series' unique identity...
Sequel prequel

Best game that Ubisoft has ever created.
....IRIS, not ISIS. Kinda important to separate those two.
yeah isis would probably kill her first.
This game is really amazing. And I'm really excited for the sequel.

Awsome, I've been waiting for a review of this game. It's one of my favourite games of all time.

@GonchyT What about Chloe Frazier from Uncharted 2? Anyway what the hell is up with the music at the end of this review?

Tomb Raider without the tits.
playing this game right know four about an hour and same as you fella, this is hot garbage, it does look amazing on gamecube though
"..a big set of *pause* GUNS" Hmmmmm....
just picked it up for $5 at a used game store called the exchange! hope you have one in your store.
I can't find this anywhere on PSN. I don't think it's been released yet Jen. Anyone know what's up with it?
Can Derek review this game too??
I loved the original and I did 100% of HD rerelase in about 8 hours. Game's great but there's one problem - I want more!!! :P
It saddens me to admit it, but I never got this game the first time around for any platform. Now I have it for XBLA. :)
It looks GREAT at 1080P on the PC, Steam... :)
Is there a physical copy of the HD version?
No, but you can find a PC version of the original at Target for $8 or so. This game still looks good without the HD textures, considering it isn't using a realistic art style.
You could also get it pretty cheaply on Steam if that's your preferred poison ^_^
Actually, there is a HD version in Australia in a bundle with Outland and From Dust. But I guess nobody has a PAL Xbox360.

Cheapest I can find this now is 20 bucks. I'll still go for it though.

Beyond Good and Evil kicks ass.
By the way, Jen. You mispronounced the organization's name. It's IRIS, not ISIS. Just letting you know. ;)
Never heard of that one. Don't think any are around me but I did find it at a game store called Replay for like 7 or 8(don't remember)
Darnell5000
