Jade Empire Reviews

Category: News ArchiveHits: 984
By combining stunning visuals, an entertaining (and challenging) combat system, and one of the best stories in recent memory, the folks at BioWare have somehow managed to create yet another brilliant game. Best of all, at roughly 20 to 25 hours, it's worth playing more than once, as you can have a drastically different experience the second time out. Some people might be able to argue that there have been better RPGs, but there's no question that this is the best to ever hit the Xbox.
And Console Gold has given it a near-perfect 98/100:
As a martial artist I can't express how much I'm enjoying this game. The styles are spot-on, the conversation is professional quality, the graphics are fantastic, and the storyline is everything you could hope for. Jade Empire has been in development for several years and it shows. While some games simply turn into a shell of its initial concept after such a long development cycle, but Jade Empire has instead realized its potential and is easily one of the best Bioware games to date.
Although I'll no doubt be picking it up this week, let's hope it makes it to the PC in the not-too-distant future!
