From the mind of Michel Ancel, you bet this one will be good.

Ubisoft today announced that the Beyond Good & Evil action/adventure game is now available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.

Beyond Good & Evil is set in the future on the planet of Hillys, which has fallen under siege by a ruthless alien race. Despite the assurances of the Alpha Section defense squad, the war drags on, terrorizing the once-beautiful planet and crushing the faith of the people. From the rubble of a tiny island rises Jade - a rebellious young action reporter left traumatized by a brutal attack. When Jade is hired by the rebel organization IRIS, she learns that the Alpha Sections are secretly trafficking humans to the enemy. Still wary of whom to believe, she sets out to expose the gruesome conspiracy and bring proof to her people.

"What propels this game into the upper echelon of next-generation games is not only an engrossing storyline but the promise of discovery," said Michel Ancel, Game Designer. "We've designed a brand new, exclusive game engine from ground up that has allowed us to integrate a whole universe in one game including mountains, cities, towns, planets and more. Our goal was to provide gamers an opportunity to experience absolute immersion through a unique story and free roaming environments - a world with no bounds, and Beyond Good & Evil has exceeded those expectations."

Beyond Good & Evil is rated "T-Teen" with a suggested retail price of $49.99.
