September 11th Among Influences for Beyond Good & Evil Franchise

I think this game's oddball mix of messages, style and gameplay really helped to sink the game at the market. The themes of the game are all heavier stuff that most people don't really start thinking about until they're around 17 years of age or even much holder. This guy is talking about the media, politics, 9/11, fear... in a game where the visual style is something you'd see in a Winnie the Pooh cartoon, something that appealed to kids age 5-10..

You have a pig uncle who farts to boost himself up to places. You take pictures of fuzzy warm animals to get money. There's a clumsy, baffoon military officer of some sort. Just a strange mix. Is the game for kids, teens, adults? All of them? Is he trying to send political messages to kids? Is that a good thing?  For me the themes of the game seemed out of place for a game that looked and played like BG&E did.

Steam also has it for $10 USD if ya already have STEAM going.

and it can be made to easily work on Vista with a few tweaks, most have had much luck (self included)

so contrary to belief, the game does work still :P

Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to up top :/

i got this game with ubisoft classic pack sale it really good although the pc port is buggy and i had to turn off one of my core to be able to run it in normal speed, still a good game and cant wait for the 2nd one. still got to beat the frist.

Thanks Zaruka

One of my all-time favorite games.  There's a teaser trailer for the sequel available somewhere.  Been looking forward to it for years, since the first one ends on a real cliffhanger if you watch the end credits.  Most likely BG&E2 would be on 360, PS3, PC... Wii, probably not.

OOH! A sequel! *glees with joy*
