By way of introducing Beyond Good and Evil, I want to point out a few salient points which establish Nietzsche as the great critic of that tradition and then suggest why this critique is potentially so powerful and disturbing.
There is thus no antagonism between good and evil, since all versions of good and equal are equally fictive (although some may be more useful for the purposes of living than others).
So long as one is playing on a team, one follows the rules and thus has a sense of what constitutes right and wrong or good and evil conduct in the game, and this awareness is shared by all those carrying out the same endeavour.

 The Gamers Temple - Beyond Good & Evil Review - Page 1
Beyond Good and Evil (BGE) started life as a console game, but you shouldn’t let console-port bias affect your opinion of the game.
BGE is primarily of the action-adventure type of game that dominates the console market, but it manages to bring in elements from a wide variety of genres and wrap it all within a unique and engaging story set in an imaginative world.
In BGE you play Jade, a freelance journalist with a strong sense of justice and a big heart that has compelled her to open her home to war orphans in spite of the poor state of her personal finances.

 Philosophy- Squashed Nietzsche - Beyond Good and Evil - Condensed Abridged
But we must insist: that which calls itself good, is the instinct of the herd-animal man. Placidly industrious democrats, revolutionary ideologists, and even the stupid fanatics who call themselves socialists, are in fact at one in their total hostility towards every form of society other than that of the herd.
Here is the seat of the origin of the famous antithesis 'good' and 'evil': According to slave-morality, the 'evil' man arouses fear; according to master-morality, it is the 'good' man who arouses fear.
It is "the slave" in the vain man's blood- and how much of the "slave" is still left in woman- which seeks to seduce to good opinions of itself; it is the slave, too, who immediately afterwards falls prostrate himself before these opinions, as though he had not called them forth.

And that's where Beyond Good & Evil comes in, dashing in like some kind of gaming cavalry to save us from all the 'could do better' genre-defying titles that have bothered our consoles.
Having teased us constantly throughout its four-year development with promises of a world without boundaries and the ability to go wherever you choose at any time, it's good to see that the final product actually delivers on much of its original remit; something that a lot of other anticipated titles have done recently.
The difference is that you have the choice of when to change how the game plays, simply because the additional styles never really encroach on the main crux of the adventure; they're always peripheral and therefore serve to enrich the experience, rather than dilute it.

 GameSpy: Beyond Good & Evil Review
While they were good and great, respectively, they still didn't properly prepare my expectations for BG&E.
Quite simply, BG&E is a tour-de-force of imagination, an electronic window into a fantastic world that exists in only our consoles and a creative French guy's mind.
A large part of BG&E's appeal lies in its unconventional story and meticulous depiction of an alternate world, which feels phenomenally fresh and well-realized.

Simply put, BG&E is one of the finest adventure games that I've played in the last couple of years.
Ships fly overhead, citizens walk the walkways, protesters dispel the evils of a corrupt government, and the leaders in charge spew forth their propaganda though several monitor/sound systems that can be found around the land.

 Globetechnology: Beyond Good & Evil
Beyond differs in that it's set in a sci-fi setting, as opposed to Zelda's fantasy world, but it is similar in its general gameplay.
Beyond Good & Evil does demand a good deal of stealth from the player, which usually takes the form of figuring out how to get by some guards.
If there's a complaint about Beyond Good & Evil, it's that the game is pretty short — it can be finished in about 15 hours — and some of the stealth sequences are somewhat repetitive.

 Wicked Toast - Beyond Good and Evil review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
From initial inspection, Beyond Good and Evil (BG&E) appears to be yet another action adventure that has been originally made for a console (in this case the PS2) and ported over to the PC.
Granted it has all the proper ingredients: main character is an attractive female in her mid 20's; a series of humorous sidekicks; the game is played largely from a 3rd person perspective.
Thankfully he's just as good at fighting as he is at telling jokes.

Armed with her camera and a "dai-jo" staff for the frequent fighting sequences, Jade stealthily infiltrates the strongholds of the enemy to collect photographic evidence.
She often travels with a companion, which is a good thing because many of the puzzles and combat moments require cooperation to complete.
"Beyond Good & Evil" is a visual treat because of its beautifully rendered indoor and outdoor environments, smoothly animated characters and subtle lighting techniques that contribute to the game's atmosphere.

 Beyond Good & Evil Review from GameZone.com
That is, until Beyond Good and Evil came along and my Xbox (as well as myself) were never the same again.
Jade also depends on stealth and the company of good friends such as Pey’j (her gruff talking pig pal) and even Double H (think of him as every sci-fi macho hero rolled into one man).
Control-wise, Beyond Good and Evil is really smooth to the point that moving around the game’s world and doing something as simple as lifting up your camera to take a picture feels satisfyingly simple.
