Beyond Good & Evil

The Alpha Section forces, who are in charge of protecting citizens, seem to be completely ineffective, not even fighting the DomZ.

In the midst of this situation, the secretive organization IRIS alleges that the Alpha Section is involved in a massive government conspiracy, and seeks to expose the truth through journalism.

The player controls a young reporter and photographer named Jade with her companions Pey'j and Double H.

After experiencing first-hand a DomZ attack, she is contacted by IRIS, who recruits her as an action reporter.

Jade is now tasked with infiltrating the Alpha Section, exposing the government conspiracy, and ultimately finding the truth for herself.

Beyond Good & Evil is an action game with diverse gameplay.

Much of the game is based on stealth and puzzles, but there are sequences of racing, shooting, combat, and platform action.

Jade fights with her staff and also uses various abilities to execute long-ranged attacks and solve puzzles.

Many of the puzzles require switching between the characters and using their special abilities; often it is necessary to coordinate the actions of two characters to achieve precise co-operation that leads to a puzzle's solution.

Besides hostile areas with puzzles and enemies, there is also a city and other friendly areas to explore, where various items and gadgets can (and sometimes must) be bought.

There are several mini-games and even an online ranking system (used by entering codes online after they are assigned in-game when the game is saved).

Beyond Good & Evil for Xbox is currently worth €24.37 loose, €28.09 complete in box, and €61.48 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Beyond Good & Evil has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Beyond Good & Evil, loose is €24.37 and CIB is €28.09 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Beyond Good & Evil is currently worth €24.37 loose, versus €17.49 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
