Anyone else here played Beyond Good and Evil? (http://beyondgoodevil.com/uk/intro.php)

I love the game for the console so I figured I'd pick it up when I saw it for 10 bucks on steam.

Some Wiki Stuff.

Beyond Good & Evil is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft and released in late 2003 for the GameCube, Microsoft Windows (PC), PlayStation 2, and Xbox platforms. The game focuses on the exploits of Jade, a female investigative reporter and martial artist, to reveal a planet-wide alien conspiracy with the help of several agents and the "IRIS Network" resistance movement.
Designed by Michel Ancel, the creator of the Rayman series, Beyond Good & Evil was envisioned as the first of a trilogy, but was a commercial failure due to its ill-timed release and lack of popularity. However, it received critical acclaim, becoming a cult classic. The game also received several awards and honors. A sequel, Beyond Good & Evil 2, is currently on hold.

I was surprised to hear that a sequel was announced since this game wasn't too popular on release.

Its like fantasy action pokemon snap on drugs.

Alyx Jade is one of my favorite female video game characters ever.
