BG&E is a solid game if you don't demand that it exceed its borderline action-RPG genre. Despite the innovative bits woven into the gameplay, it's a standard adventure game. It honestly reminded of Jak & Daxter II, with a more likable protagonist and less to do, than a hardcore Zelda-ish game. I would say it's worth $20, but its competition on both sides (Knights of the Old Republic for RPGs, Prince of Persia for action-adventure) are superior.
