Beyond Good & Evil

System:  Take your pick.  Nintendo Gamecube, Xbox, Playstation 2, or PC.  I have it for Gamecube though.

Story:  Jade, a photo journalist, runs an orphanage with her uncle Pey'j, and she herself is an orphan.  Thier homeland of Hillys is constantly attacked by the DomZ aliens, and one day, the shield to Jade's orphanage gives out, right during a DomZ assault.  The DomZ capture the young orphans and Jade quickly jumps in and wards them off.  She and Pey'j manage to rid thier small island of the DomZ, and the Alpha Sections, the loyal protectors of Hillys, arrive after the whole thing's over.  Jade gets a small whiff of conspiracy, and hoping only to find the truth, she sets off to the call of the mysterious Mr. Decastalac, and where she goes from there, you'll have to see for yourself...

Comments:  Everything about this game is beautiful.  Beautiful storyline, beautiful battle system, beautiful puzzles, beautiful music, beautiful characters, beautiful graphics, beautiful sound, and beautiful controls.  The only thing that's not beautiful is the length of this game.  I was pretty disappointed in how short it was, and there's not much replay value, but it's always fun to play again, because really, it's an awesome game!  You should at least rent it, but buying it may not be smart, but I feel glad that I own it, because sometimes I'll just feel like playing it.  It's a very overlooked game, and you should definately give it a try.
