Game Description
Beyond Good & Evil is Ubisoft’s beloved action-adventure masterpiece, blending cinematic storytelling, fluid gameplay, and striking art direction into one unforgettable package. Released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube, the game introduces players to Jade, a fearless investigative journalist and martial artist who uncovers a sinister conspiracy threatening the planet Hillys. Armed with her camera, staff, and courage, Jade sets out to expose the truth behind an alien invasion and the government cover-up that shields it.
What sets Beyond Good & Evil apart is its seamless mixture of genres: puzzle-solving, stealth, racing, combat, and even photography, all tied together with a strong narrative spine. The game rewards not just fighting enemies, but also capturing evidence with Jade’s camera to push the story forward. This innovative mechanic gave players a sense of purpose beyond action and made Hillys feel like a living, breathing world full of characters worth saving.
Critically acclaimed but commercially overlooked at launch, the game went on to achieve cult status as word spread about its charm, artistry, and emotional resonance. Today, Beyond Good & Evil is celebrated as one of Ubisoft’s most important creations, often compared alongside genre-defining titles like Zelda and Metroid. For GameCube collectors, it stands as a must-have title — a cult classic that commands respect in any serious library.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Directed by Michel Ancel, the creative mind behind the Rayman series, Beyond Good & Evil was envisioned as the start of a sweeping trilogy. Although sales were modest, the game’s critical reception was glowing, with reviewers praising its storytelling, characters, and genre-blending gameplay. Over time, it became one of the most celebrated cult classics of the sixth console generation.
The game’s soundtrack, composed by Christophe Héral, is equally iconic, combining eclectic styles that perfectly match Jade’s journey across Hillys. Today, original GameCube copies are highly sought after by collectors, not only for their rarity but also for the game’s lasting reputation as a timeless example of Ubisoft’s creative peak in the early 2000s.
