This game is brilliant, especially considering it’s age! Fantastic game. If you like Bioware’s other stuff, you’ll really enjoy this one too.
It’s a great game, what can i say? i wish the end didn’t feel so rushed, and that playing as a bad guy had a greater difference in the plot, but hey, game and learn.
If games like Knights of The Old Republic and Mass Effect and their "potential for good or evil" style of role-play are your cup of tea, then this is one game that you should definitely pick up. (It’s backwards compatible on the 360, and cheap to acquire. Well worth it.) Almost identical to KOTOR in every respect (game mechanics, play style, and general awesomeness) but the excellent soundtrack and motion-captured combat styles combine to make the battle sequences far more exciting and fun to watch.
This is one of the best games ever made, it’s definitely worth picking up. This game can actually be played on the xbox 360 if you install an online update, which is nice. I really wish Bioware would remake this or make a sequel, I would buy the crap out of that. This is essentially Dragon Age, but set in east asian medieval folklore rather than european medieval folklore.
It’s aged marvelously. The writing, the dialogue, the plot, outstanding. Yes it’s too short as many have pointed out, but that’s certainly preferable to a game feeling too long. What stuck out for me was how vibrant, deep and "alive" the characters were, the wide array of choices to make to draw one to repeat playthroughs, and I reiterate, the quality of the writing itself: remarks from your companions and opponents stick with you and make you think, and the diction is flowery, poetic, and "wordy," without being pedantic or stilted. It’s all very natural, and beautiful, and you feel pulled into another world, a very charming, colorful one.My only complaint in this area is that "Closed Fist" is essentially pure evil. It’s basically a path to take for giggles after you’ve played through "Open Hand" once or twice. I got started with Closed Fist on this playthrough assuming that it would simply be a selfish, power-hungry path as it’s billed to be, different than the "Dark Side" in the KOTOR games, but the Closed Fist path is truly one in which your character is one dark, sadistic SOB, and I found myself changing back to Open Palm pretty early on. I wish they had gone a different route with the Closed Fist path.The combat is fun, but a little button mashy, particularly by modern standards. Having played through KOTOR and part of KOTOR II, the more turn-based, tactical system they employed better fared the test of time; however, I couldn’t ha.
Jade Empire is one of the best games to come out this year, and it did just about everything right. I have very few gripes and so on a scale of 1-10 I would give it more of a 9.5. I rate on a couple of categories when deciding the rating of a game, so it’s easy to follow the review. So read on if you want my full opinion.Video: Firstly, the graphics. The graphics throughout the entire game are very pretty and pleasing to the eye, the Jade Empire is a fun world to look at and the character models are beautiful and not duplicated often. The lighting in the game is more than adequate for a game like this, there are shadows for about every object in the game. The only bad thing I can say is that sometimes when talking the character animations can get a little jerky or awkward sometimes (You might have to wait for a character to turn around or something as such, which is woefully slow sometimes). However, the combat animations look smooth as silk and move exactly how you want them to.Audio: The audio in Jade Empire is very impressive as well. The music completely immerses you within the world of the Empire, and it definitely breathes a large component of the combat in Jade Empire, you just feel like whistling some of the tunes that you get when you’re ripping out the ribs of an ogre. The sound effects in the game are also done well, the kicks and punches and flips and rolls sound real when you’re dancing around an enemy you’re right about to bop a good one in the face. And, as i.
Great
From the people who brought us Knights of the Old Republic comes another genre-blending game with a fabulously twisting plot. If you own an Xbox, you should own this game. It is not only the best Action RPG on the Xbox but one of the best RPGs played in recent memory.For those who have played KOTOR, this game will be instantly familiar. At the offset, you pick a character and are thrust into a world of moralities. Unlike KOTOR, the morality system is a little more complex for the most part. Instead of focusing on good and evil, your character has the choice of being endlessly helpful, understanding and tolerant of everyone (in other words believes in the power of the human spirit) or someone who reveres strength. As an example of this strength concept, there is a decision early on about a dam that is open and has caused problems for a town because the sailors are land locked. A wine merchant wants the dam to remain open so he can make a killing off of the sailors. If you follow the Way of the Open Palm you would probably close the dam so that the town can prosper in what is should be doing. If you follow the Way of the Closed Fist, on the other hand, would decide that if the town were strong they will survive this current hurdle and that it is only that, a hurdle. It gets a little more tricky than that and does open some areas for roleplaying your character and deciding what you would really do in that situation. Bioware is also wonderful at making you think about.
My purchase of Jade Empire was solely due to my love of BioWare’s best known title, Knights of the Old Republic. I was concerned that I might not be so engrossed without the Star Wars factor, but I was quickly sucked into this game.As someone who might have only recently thought to describe herself as a gamer, I am sorely lacking in the controller skills one might expect a real-time combat system to require. I was pleasantly surprised to find Jade Empire’s combat more than accessible; I’d be so bold as to say I was quickly kicking major kung-fu butt :-). Seriously, the variety of styles, both in types (Martial, Weapon, Magic and Support) and the sheer number of available styles, made the fighting beautiful to see, and although there are no complex button combinations, the Harmonic Combinations, while never necessary to defeat an opponent, allow the player to rain especially gory death on his or her enemies.The storyline just rocks. The larger, overarching action constantly beckons the player to continue, and the romance subplots are one feature significantly improved over KotOR, in my opinion. Both male and female PCs have more than one character available for love, and one’s chosen can be converted to the PC’s philosophic path, or suffer the consequences. As (I admit it) a sappy girl when it comes to romance, I found this aspect of the game contributed significantly to my immersion in the plot. This game can be beaten in a little over 20 hours easily, but the game exp.
I really do recommend Jade Empire, it’s an RPG much like Knights of the Old Republic except you play a monk from ancient times and go around helping or hurting others while you try to get revenge for having your school burned down and your master kidnapped.I believe it is made by the same people who did KOTOR, so they are very similar. Instead of the light and dark side, you have the Way of the Open Hand and the Way of the Closed Fist. Like KOTOR, there is dialogue and options that you can choose from to answer in response. Your actions effect the way you are, do bad things- you’re a bad guy and so on. One example being that you meet a woman who is obsessed with a man who is already married, she hires people to beat the man up for being married to another woman who isn’t her. You can settle this by either killing them all or helping them to understand each other or take another option. Many options are given to different goals, another great part of the game.The characters on the game are very interesting, from a King Seesar like spirit that possesses a little girl to a ninja who is out for revenge, the game has many interesting characters that become your allies. The game itself is well done, the game isn’t even turn based and is even more smooth than KOTOR. I really do think it’s one of the best games of ’05 and I highly recommend that everyone who likes RPGs like KOTOR or Fable to get it.

This game had everything. There is much to cover, but I will do what I can.First of all, a fantastic story with its share of plot twists and surprises you can expect from BioWare. Memorable characters with uses so varied and unique that it really made them matter. Quality voice acting, on par with KOTOR. Gorgeous graphics and larger locations (hence less loading points) than KOTOR had. The best of all was the combat system. It is so in depth and just so fun, yet utterly accessable. There is basically a five minute learning curve. Some games can take hours or days to figure out. Jade Empire gets you quickly immersed into its easy system and doesn’t compromise anything while doing it.The game has definite replay value as well. There are four different character types (balanced, fast, strong, magic) each with extremely different and satisfying combat styles. The character models themselves are nothing short of spectacular. Oh, and not to mention that the game has three different endings.The most satisfying aspect of all is the type of game and the way it plays out. It is classified as a Roleplaying game, but is far from your typical RPG. The roleplaying aspect is all in the dialogue. Unlike most, there are only three different stats you will maintain (body, spirit, and mind). They work well, and will make a very unique character depending on how you choose to level up. You will also learn many different styles of fighting as opposed to having a ton of inventory. You will find se.

Never gets old. I’ve played it 100 times before, lost it, and will now play a bit again.

I really did love this game way back when it was released. Since then I haven’t owned the game since I lost it. I’m so glad I was able to find this game. It’s a game by bioware that follows their RPG type of game. Very fun I recommend it to those that have played and liked the knights of the old republic star wars.

The graphics are a bit dated now and I would have loved more customization. Other than that I’m finding it to be amazing! I’ll likely update this after I finish the game. So far I definitely recommend it!

I remember being a kid and watching all of the old Kung-Fu classics that this one television station used to show on lazy Sunday afternoons. Most were cheesy. Some were outright over the top. For example, there was this one movie (I can’t remember the name of it) where a monk with a bo-staff was wandering through a graveyard and all of a sudden several ninjas erupted out of the ground underneath him and started stabbing him in the gut. His intestines were hanging out of his pant leg and he STILL kept slaughtering them by the dozens. The only way they beat him was when he stepped on a loop of his own intestine and went down on one knee and the only pain he showed was this puzzled look on his face. And that was another thing about those movies; no one seemed to die simply. If one of the protagonists got killed, they had to stagger around, looking enraged, take out a couple more enemies WHILE THEY WERE DYING, and then do a backflip and three front somersaults before they went to the ground and were still.But they were still good fun to watch when you had nothing else on your plate for the day.Jade Empire is a successful creation of this type of fun. The outlook is a little more serious, but playing this game evokes a deep feeling of notstalgia ‘for me younger days’. Plus, the play time ranges anywhere from thirty to forty hours, MUCH longer than the time it took me to get through any of those chop-sockey films. If you like fantasy-based roleplaying games with a twist,.

I had it before years ago for the original Xbox. All I’ll say is that Bioware is masterful in game storytelling and execution of gameplay. I find it regrettable that they were purchased by EA as I feel that 95% of their ideas will get thrown away.

I really enjoyed this game. It was a good mix of RPG, martial arts, and fantasy action. Let me list the pros and cons of the game instead of forcing you to sort through a few paragraphs of crap before getting to the important stuff.Pros:There is a lot of variety to the game. Numerous characters, martial styles, partners and the like. You could play it over and over again and never have the same experience.Great graphics, the game is one of the most visually pleasing games I have played.Wonderful soundtrack.Challenging but not impossible.Enjoyable storyline that really pulls you in.Extended, it can take 20-30 hours to get through once without all the side quests.Cons:It can be too easy if you put it on easy. If you start to get bored though, try playing it on grand master.I wish you could take more than one person with you at a time, but that’s just a nit pick. It’s not too bad.Parts can be really full of talking, and I mean, at least 20% of the game is talking. Feel free to skip it all though, and you’ll still know the storyline.Limited environtments. I love places with snow and rain and everything and while there’s some rain, that’s pretty much it.So here you go. I hope this helps you decide if you want the game or not. If you’re still not sure, rent it and have fun.

I very much gravitate toward RPG video games, with some of my favorites being the Zelda series (despite its childish atmosphere) and the original D&D style Final Fantasy series. One of my other interests is kung fu movies, so Jade Empire is right up my alley, combining China and kung fu with RPG gaming. Fantastic! Anyone who has played Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic will instantly recognize Jade Empire’s game engine. The same great enviroments and graphics, and the same dual morality system are in place, custom tailored to a kung fu setting. In addition, the game has an excellent combat system, and you will find yourself battling humans, ghosts, demons, and animals, among other things. Jade Empire’s storyline is GREAT, and is extensive and complex without getting bogged down in too many twists and turns. The game’s length is just right (my initial playthrough lasted about 27 hours). The voice acting is superb, as are the quests and sidegames that are available. Add in several different characters you may play as (and you may chose either the Open Palm (good) or Closed Fist (evil) way, and your replay value is extensive. This truly is an immersive game! The ‘Limited Edition’ version of the game comes with a second disc which contains a featurette and an extra playable character. The ‘making of’ featurette is interesting, but definitly not must-see. The addition of the extra monk character is cool, but he is probably the worst of all the playable characters (his weap.
