They’re not handled worse here than any other game, but their very existence annoys me. Killer soundtrack, solid voice acting (yes, even in the infamous laughing scene), great graphics, strong combat, and an interesting leveling system. Is Final Fantasy X a good JRPG? I wouldn’t have it on my list if I didn’t think so.

She cares for orphan children, has friends in the world, and a realistic reaction to the craziness happening around her.īeyond Good & Evil is well worth the $20 you might have to pay for it.įFX’s videos are stunning to behold. Jade is more than a tough female action hero. He’s gruff, funny, wise and helpful while never becoming annoying. Pay’j, a pig man and uncle to Jade, is the game’s strongest character. Every aspect of the gameplay is solid, but the world, story and characters lift it to another level.

It’s a great one to start my top 10 list with.īeyond Good & Evil is a 3 rd person action adventure title. The general public doesn’t know about the game, and newer gamers likely don’t either. BG&E finds itself on tons of hidden PS2 gems lists and deservedly so. Legend of Zelda in a science fiction universe minus the silent protagonist sums up a lot of Beyond Good & Evil, while underselling it.

The closest the PS2 came to a Zelda title.
