| I played the game and to be honest, I wasn't very impressed by it. The story strike me as pretty boring and uninteresting. The combat mechanics are too simplistic up till the point that simple button mashing is enough to deal with enemies. Not to mention how repetitive it is. And as what the others had mentioned, the character customisation is very basic (even more basic than Fable's, to be honest).
As for the dialogue, it's still the same old one guy giving a long lecture and followed by another doing the same thing when talking and it happens on various occasions. Not to mention how long the dialogue sequences are. Something I always detest after playing the KOTOR series.
All of the above really put me off after 1 or 2 hours of playing Jade Empire. I admit, most people like this game, but I don't know why I was quite put off by it. Perhaps it could be that I'm starting to loose interest in RPGs in general, I don't know.
