- The Bottom Line:
- "All flash, no substance"
At first, i tought BG&E was one of most exciting games in a long time...beautiful graphics, a cool main character, fantastic presentation, a very rich world...
well...the game from technical point is pretty good, i must admit...its also good in the art department...
BG&E is an action/adventure game with elements taken from Zelda and stealth parts that are taken from..hmm...Metal Gear Solid?
The actionadventure part is ok...but the stealth sucks too much, the game falls into a big boredom once you need to do these stealth parts to progress...and thats just after the first hours with it..
so the game is exciting for the first 2 hours, and most BORING experience ever after ...i find myself pissed many times doing the stealth parts, i just couldnt wait to finish this game, move to next and forget it forever..it really made me angry
this happens specially in the Slaughterhouse level... a repetitive and huge basemente that take hours to complete and is 90% of those stealth annoying parts...the game gets a little better close to the end, but not enough to save it
once you finish it,you realize the characters are too idiot, such as the PIG and the virtual guy that mix intalian and spanish languages, the game tries too much to be an epic, going to the emotional side telling the story of friendship between Jade and the Pig, and how brave she is...but seriously, i felt nothing but a huge emptyness with this game..different form other epics like Zelda: Wind Waker that take tears from your eyes...BG&E is just..EMPTY
the end of the game opens place for a sequel, as it seems the story will be continued, but the game was a miserable fail, so that probably wont happen..they made the announcement but nothing more was showed..even if was released, i will pass it, because the original is so annoying i cant take more of the same stupid bunch of characters
The game really shines in the beginning, thats probably the reason reviewers gave it such nice scores..they played the first half hour and found it amazing, like i did.... but from middle to end its one of most annoying frustrating experiences i ever had and i couldnt wait to finish it and take the disc from the console, and forget it forever...
EPIC FAIL...

I regret putting off buying this game until now. It's easily one of the best games of the past 5 or 6 years!
