Beyond Good & Evil released for GameCube

<img align="right" src="http://www.the-nextlevel.com/news/0312/bge.jpg">Ubisoft today announced that the Beyond Good & Evil is now available in retail stores for the Nintendo GameCube with a suggested retail price of $49.99.

"What propels this game into the upper echelon of next-generation games is not only an engrossing storyline but the promise of discovery," said Michel Ancel, Game Creator. "We've designed a brand new, exclusive game engine from ground up that has allowed us to integrate a whole universe in one game including mountains, cities, towns, planets and more. Our goal was to provide gamers an opportunity to experience absolute immersion through a unique story and free roaming environments - a world with no bounds, and Beyond Good & Evil has exceeded those expectations."

Creator Michel Ancel (Rayman) tops himself again with unparalleled visuals, imaginative design, and the creation of worlds where deception is the norm and truth is the only hope of restoring freedom.

A world with no bounds? Hardly..Anyways.

Cube owners finally have something AAA worthy to play this season, even though it's after PS2 and XBOX owners. People who don't buy Beyond Good and Evil make me very sad for it is my game of the year.

I'll have it on the Cube by Xmas... it'll have to beat out Mario & Luigi for GOTY, though.

We'll see.

Agreed.

Its on the festuvus list

I don't think it will sell very well.

2 reasons:

A) Poor character design. Makes people think its for younger audiences.

B) Poor marketing.

I will most definitely be picking this game up if I get any cash or gift certificates for christmas, but I have a feeling a price drop is in the cards for this game.

Poor character design in a mainstream sense, yes. Poor character design as in a pure design standpoint? Hell no. Ignoring the fact that Jade is a total bad ass to the point where I almost queston if Cammy is my favorite gaming character (!), Disney only wishes they could come up with characters as seen in BG&E. I bring them into it because not comparing the works of Disney and BG&E is sort of hard to do =X Sadly, the great characters in the game have a tie to the poor marketing side of things. Jade is probably the most respectable female lead in a video game ever and Ubisoft has enough respect for their designers (Thank god) to not just turn her into a 3-D rendering of walking tits.
