Story
From the manual:
Every day on the planet Hillys, the DomZ attacks strike the population. The Alpha Section intervention troops seem incapable of protecting the people.
You play the part of Jade, a young reporter with a mysterious past. Will you succeed in saving the planet Hillys and unveiling the secrets of the DomZ invasion? Your best weapons are your camera, your faithful companions, and your desire to reveal the truth. But watch out! The dividing line between good and evil is sometimes very thin, indeed!
In the future, on the planet Hillys, the population suffers from constant attacks from the alien DomZ. The situation is gradually getting worse, as the rate of DomZ kidnapings increase. The Alpha Section forces, who are in charge of protecting citizens, seem to be completely ineffective, not even fighting the DomZ. In the midst of this situation, the secretive organization IRIS alleges that the Alpha Section is involved in a massive government conspiracy, and seeks to expose the truth through journalism.
You control the young reporter/photographer Jade, with her companions Pey'j and Double H. After experiencing first-hand a DomZ attack, she is contacted by IRIS, who recruit her as an action reporter. Jade is now tasked with infiltrating the Alpha Section, exposing the government conspiracy, and ultimately finding the truth for herself.
Beyond Good & Evil is an action-adventure game with diverse game play. Most of the game is based on stealth and puzzles, but there are sequences of racing, shooting, combat, and platform action. There are several mini-games and even an online ranking system (used by entering codes online after they are assigned in-game when the game is saved). As the game progresses, a large story unfolds, even dealing with some social issues on the way.
Gameplay
Beyond Good & Evil is a 3D adventure game, in which you control Jade, a late-twenties female character with an affinity for green lipstick. The game is an action adventure, where players must explore the surrounding countryside to find a way of exposing the enemy and their collegues.
Jade is a photographer by trade, and it is this, rather than any other skill, which is most important in exposing the truth. However, in order to photograph evidence, Jade must infiltrate many of the secret organisation's factories and other buildings. Much of the game revolves around stealth and puzzle-solving, therefore, attempting to get through rooms without being seen by sentries.
Photography
In addition to photography at key points, Jade is also able to photograph the planet's wildlife, for addition to a reference book.
