Free Download Of Beyond Good & Evil Soundtrack
Following up the re-release of their cult classic Action-Adventure game Beyond Good & Evil HD on Xbox LIVE Arcade, as part of the Xbox LIVE House Party, Ubisoft have uploaded the entire soundtrack to the game onto the official game site for download. As we previously mentioned in our full review of the title – where the game was awarded a deserved 9/10 – the soundtrack had been previously made available for free download by the company in 2003 when the game was first released, but had since disappeared from the internet.
The full score, composed by Christophe Héral, can be downloaded from the goodies section of the official site in the form of a zip file, that is a manageable size at approximately 170MB. The soundtrack takes inspiration from a wide range of world music, using elements of Arabic, Oriental and African music – to name but a few influences. The music is the perfect accompaniment to the game, which is an effective mixture of many different game styles and mechanics.
Beyond Good & Evil HD has our full recommendation and is available for Xbox 360 now via Xbox LIVE Arcade, priced at 800 Microsoft Points. It will also be getting a PlayStation 3 release over the PlayStation Network later in the year.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
