 Rating:  - Awesome RPGThis is my second favorite game ( the first being KOTOR, also by BioWare). The storyline is rich, as as the characters. Sky is one of my all-time favorite characters (along with Carth from KOTOR). The scenery on this is breaktaking. I enjoyed the "good vs. evil" decision in this game, as it is really innovative. It goes so much further than just good vs. evil. It has 2 leaning, the Way of the Open Palm, which is not that different from general 'I've got to help everyone who comes along' good, and ... Read More Rating: - Doesn't let go!I came late to the Jade Empire party, not even knowing the game existed until a couple months after I picked up an X360, but I am hooked! This game is fantastic! I've played "Knights of the Old Republic," also by developer Bioware, and I thought that was one of the best RPG games I'd ever played. Then I picked up "Jade Empire." The storyline is deep, the characters are fully drawn, the side quests are actually fun and interesting (instead of the usual go-there/pick-that-up/come-back ... Read More Rating:  - Hampered by load timesI am a very patient gamer, preferring RPGs and tactical games with thought and storyline, but the load times for this game were troublesome enough to completely disrupt the flow of the game completely for me. Though the load times are "short", less than 30 seconds each, they are so frequent (near many combat starts) that within the first hour and a half of the game, I was bent over in frustration. It got a bit better as I went along, but I had to call it quits after 2 hours since I felt like I was wasting ... Read More Rating: - A Brilliant BioWare RPG with Sleep-Inducing CombatOkay, let me say that when I first heard previews of this game, I thought it would be more action-centric. Its set in a westernized vision of asia, straight out of martial arts movies and folklore. I was dismayed, since the best part of Bioware/ Black Isle/ Obsidian Entertainment games are their engrossing stories and branching dialogue; they're almost like adventure games which had to change format due to the genre's death. Anyway, thankfully to me, combat in the game is not a focus. It's lame as ... Read More Rating:  - DisappointingThis game has some beatiful scenery, and...well, that's about it. This game commits the cardinal sin of video games: it's very boring. And I'm a huge fan of KOTOR, so I'm not averse to talky talkiness, but the generic story, tedious combat, and uninteresting stat/ability system caused me to sell this game quicker than any game I've ever had. Just beware. |
