    GameplayEdit

    he game mainly consists of combat and stealth with many puzzle-solving elements, all of which is set in a third-personerspective. The player controls Jade through her exploration of Hillys and infiltration missions with the ultimate goal of

    xposing the DomZ conspiracy. Her tools consist of a Da-jo combat staff that she uses as a melee weapon, a Gyrodiskauncher for ranged attacks, and her camera for collecting evidence. If Jade is attacked, her health gauge will deplete. Shean use restoring items called "Starkos" and "K-Bups" to refill her health, and even use devices called PA-1s to increase themount of hearts in her health meter. If Jade loses all of her hearts though, she will restart from the last checkpoint.

    During the adventure, Jade is also aided by computer-controlled characters: her runcle Pey'j and the IRIS agent Double H.ade can direct them via contextual commands to perform specific actions that she is unable to perform herself in order todvance through her missions. These characters also have a health gauge, like Jade, and can be incapacitated if they lose allf their hearts. Jade can also share some items with them, such as Starkos, and can even increase their health bar by sharingA-1s.

    Reception and SequelEdit

    Although a commercial flop, the game has been praised by many reviewers and has since gained somewhat of a cult status.ecause of this, a long-awaited sequel has been put into the works, though very little information of its development has beenisclosed.

    n 2008, a short teaser-trailer was released for Beyond Good & Evil 2, presenting a very detailed rendition of Pey'j and anothermysterious character assumed to be Jade. They appear to be stuck in the middle of a desert, a landscape that contradictsHillys' water-themed environment.

    he lack of updates concerning the sequel has fans becoming worried for the series' future, though Michel Ancel has recentlyomfirmed that the game is still in development.
