I bought Beyond Good and Evil at EB a few days ago because it was so cheap, and I have come to the conclusion that it is a good game for the price. $50 dollars is a little steep for a game of this scope, but I believe that $20 dollars is more appropriate for this game. Do you think that hype received by a game in the video game media can justify a high price?



I know that I heard all sorts of good things about BG&E in magazines and on the net, but from what I've actually played the price I paid seems to suit the game. I don't want to imply that all of the work that went into the game somehow isn't good enough to justify the price, but I think there is a glut of these "good games" out on the market, and none really shine above the rest. More games like this come to mind (Mario Sunshine and Soul Calibur 2) that seem to put the shiny package on the old concept. Don't get me wrong. I love these games, and own many of them, but I don't think that some of them deserve the credit they receive.



This is one of the many reasons I love to buy used games. I think the game is much better when I pay half as much as I would buying it new. The same day I purchased BG&E I bought 3 used games and I have to say that for the price they are magnificent.
