vgZero: Beyond Good and Evil XBLA Review

Mike Glubish: "Most of you probably know the almost tragic story that is Beyond Good & Evil by now. The brainchild of Rayman creator Michel Ancel was intended to be a trilogy when it was released for the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 consoles back in 2003. Despite garnering almost universal critical praise from the press, the game was largely ignored by the gaming public (yes, including me) and has since become recognized as one of the industry’s most notable commercial failures. Fortunately, BG&E’s small but persistent cult following has somehow coerced Ubisoft into giving the franchise a new lease on life. While the long-awaited sequel remains under development (allegedly), Ubisoft is offering gamers a second chance to experience the forgotten classic in the form of Beyond Good & Evil HD. While it certainly isn’t the genre-defining adventure that it was eight years ago, I am pleased to say that the title has aged remarkably well. For a measly $10, this is a journey well worth taking"
