Product Information
Japan's Monolith Software continues its brave alchemy of complex, futuristic role-playing and 19th century existentialist philosophy with the second installment in its planned three-part Xenosaga chronicle, Jenseits von Gut und Boese ("Beyond Good and Evil"). Like the Nietzsche work after which it is ostensibly titled, the game's sci-fi story is themed to challenge society's over-institutionalized assumptions about morality. Players take control of various hero characters, some returning from the first game in the series (Der Wille zur Macht) and some new to this episode. These characters are embroiled in a complicated plot involving artificial humans called "realians," who seem to have short-circuited en masse. Gameplay involves exploration, puzzle-solving, and turn-based combat. As in the first game, Jenseits von Gut und Boese features an intense storyline, told through extensive cut-scenes, that is as likely to confuse unsuspecting newcomers as it is to delight true fans of the series.
