Beyond Good and Evil remains one of the only titles that I ever thought "Sweet merciful crap, this music is awesome - I want to hang out in this bar just to listen."
I thought BG&E was a fantastic game, and every bit as good as any other game mentioned so far in this thread.
I don't think it matter much what version you pick up, as I haven't heard about any technical issues with any of the console versions. I would be very careful about picking it up for the PC though, as it just doesn't work for a lot of people and they have absolutely no intention of patching it any further.
Really? Huh. Controls aside, I thought that the PC version had the advantage of having a patch for the infamous key swapping bug.
The problem with the PC version is that the game pretty much won't run on many recent GFX cards, and on many of those PCs it does display correctly there are stability and performance problems. It does work for a lot of people, but there are also many with problems. I know I had tons of problems getting it working on my previous card which was a ATI X1600XT. It had really bad performance (unplayable with AA), and with my new card (Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB) the sound and picture frequently goes out of sync. There's even performance issues with AA on this card as well, which is strange considering the age of the game and the power of the card. Go with the console versions if you can
Guess so. I have the PC version and never had any problems with it; granted, that may have changed with the later driver iterations. I did have to downgrade my Detonators to get Dreamfall working, and I got it when it came out.
I wish I could find the GC version of BG&E. The PS2 version takes up like a quarter of a memory card by the time you're done because of all the image files.
Christ. I'm not going to babysit you guys tonight. Locking this because it's obvious that no one can have an opinion on the internet.
Derailers are getting infractions. If you want to get into personal arguments with eachother, do it elsewhere. Deusfaux, if you want to remake this thread, I'm giving you the go-ahead, but if the shit-slinging starts again, some of you may not be seeing the forum for much longer. Hopefully the IGN article will get PMed to you and answer your question. I'm sorry it didn't work out better.

Could you erm... post or PM me most of the main points/reasons why? thanx
Also, Beyond Good and Evil is nothing like Zelda.
