Jade Empire First View

RPGVault has written up a short "first look" preview of BioWare's upcoming Xbox RPG, Jade Empire. Here's what they commend the game for:
The game features an intriguing combat system with more than 30 martial arts, weapons and magic fighting styles, each with up to seven specific moves; the ability to transform into monsters sounds particularly cool. The setting offers fertile ground for BioWare's renowned storytelling skills within a gameworld containing varied locations like quarry caves, the mountaintop Temple of Dirge, the Imperial Palace and a flying contraption called the Marvelous Dragonfly. Good and evil paths will be available, with the team promising your decisions will have consequences. You'll also be able to recruit a selection of diverse followers and send them on quests to aid in your cause. All the visuals seen to date have been top-notch.
