This is clearly a PS3/360/PC game, but can you blame it's creator Michael Ancel for straying away from the Wii after Ubisoft bastardized his last creation "Rayman" with those darned annoying Rabbids on the console? Yeah, case point.
Anyways, unless you've been in the total dark of video game cult, Beyond Good and Evil was a sleeper hit of them all, which would've been one of the best games ever had Ubisoft also not been stupid and released Prince of Persia along with BGE, at the same time that a ton of other franchise games were coming out. Of course this thing got left in the dust. However, over the last little while, in gamings downtimes, people have been hearing about it, picking it up, and the crowds of devoted fans have been growing, to the point where Ubisoft has finally caved in and allowed its sequel to be made.
The storyline is really hard to sumarize, but it's basically about a girl Jade and her piglike "uncle" Pey'j, who live on a planet called Hillys as a freelance photographer and lighthouse keepers. The planet is a gorgeous islandscape [don't even try it Wind Waker] filled with exotic wildlife, a bustling and peaceful community, and ecofriendly transportation such as hover cars, boats and hover crafts. This planet is essentially paradise. However, a horrible alien invasion has come to pass on Hillys, a race of beings called the DomZ have set Hillys as their recent target of their ongoing war upon the galaxy. Capturing citizens for sacrifice, and laying waste to the planet in their wake, Jade decides to use her lighthouse as an orphanage for the children of Hillys who have lost their parents in the war. To protect the citizens, come the Alpha sections, military grunts who protect the people from the horrible invasion...or so they claim. In truth, there's a conspiracy at the root of the recent Alpha sections control over the planet, and it's up to Jade and Pey'j to forge an alliance with the IRIS network, and underground newspaper like The Wolfman to bring the truth to the surface.
If you want a game that'll inspire you, make you laugh, your heart melt, cry [yeah I did, twice], and give you that all around feeling of awesome, pick up the first game. It's for all last gen consoles: PS2, PC, XBX, GC. You can even get it off of Gametap and I think Steam has it too, and seriously if you don't like the gameplay [which I have no idea how you couldn't] the music is some of the best soundtrack you will ever hear...ever!
Oh, and for everyone who's actually played the first game through to the end credits, when you watch the trailer for the second one, pay note to Pey'j's hand and the opening music on the sitar
