Beyond Good & Evil: Difference between revisions

The game's main protagonist is a young photojournalist named Jade (voiced by Jodi Forrest, who also provided the vocalisations for [[Tily]], [[Razorwife]] and [[Globette]] in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''). She lives in a lighthouse orphanage with her adoptive uncle – an anthropomorphic pig named Pey'j (voiced by [[David Gasman]], the actor who has voiced [[Rayman]] since 1999). Like Rayman, Jade's origins are mysterious, and she is eventually revealed as a ‘chosen one’ with unique abilities. By the opening of the game, Hillys is beset my a monstrous alien force known as the DomZ, which comprise the majority of the enemies encountered throughout the game. Parallels can be drawn between the DomZ and the space-faring [[Robo-Pirate]]s in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. A dictatorial military group known as the Alpha Sections exercise an authoritarian regime over the Hyllian people under the guise of protecting them from the DomZ. Early on in the game, Jade is contacted by the IRIS Network, an underground organisation intent on uncovering the conspiracy between the DomZ and the Alpha Sections and liberating the people from their rule.

While primary a third-person action-adventure game, ''Beyond Good & Evil'' features elements of various other video game genres, including stealth, puzzle-solving and racing. Jade combats enemies with a Daï-jo staff, but also gains the ability to fire disc projectiles later in the game. A substantial number of the game's missions involve photography; Jade is often required to take photographs revealing the Alpha Sections' true nature, but optional side-quests involve photographing wildlife for rewards. At one point in the game, the player can come across a [[mosquito]] from the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]], which is identified as ''‘Aedes Raymanis’'' (''‘Fly from [[Rayman 1|Rayman]]’''). The world of Hyllis is presented as a single continuous environment broken only by load zones; there are no distinct levels, and the player must travel manually from place to place, as in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''. Jade's primary mode of transport is a hovercraft, which can be used to travel the watery streets of the main city and the surrounding seaside area.
