Like many people who played and enjoyed Beyond Good & Evil, I've been looking forward to see how this game turns out. So far the previews have been promising. More to the point, the demo of the PC version has just been released, and it's looking quite good. It certainly has the feel of BG&E about it. I'm now in no doubt that it will completely capture the look and feel of the movie. Indeed, playing the demo has raised my expectations of the movie somewhat. Despite the simplistic controls of the Big Ape, which is pretty similar to the combat controls in BG&E, there is a sense of desperation about it,especially when you have to stop the T-Rexs from gobling up the lil' lady. Besides the combat there are some 'nice to look at' sub-Prince of Persia swinging and jumping sections (can you actually fall off??), which hopefully is used in a more conplex puzzle like way further in the game. The Jack section was quite good and, while simple, I can see the use of different items making for some more varied gameplay. On the whole it's all looking quite impressive, certainly for a movie game. I just hope that they have built upon the gameplay shown in the demo. That will be the decider between it being a 'quite good' game or a 'very good' game. Anyone else who played the demo, what do you think about it? My fingers are crossed :D
ps. this is in Gamecube, cos most people here will eventually get that version.
