I got this game pretty cheap, and thought it would be fun playing it, specially as I am a MASSIVE KOTOR fan, and its made by the same dudes that made KOTOR. Nothing could prepare me for what I was about to witness when I started to play. let me put it in point form, cos i can go on talkin forever.
1. AMAZING STORY
2. Superb characters supporting the story
3. Amazing detail in Graphics.
4. So many other quests to complete apart from the original story
5. Great detail in Animation of the various martial arts techniques.
6. Amazing speech system.
7. It is upto you where you end up.
The story is so involving and addictive, that I had to stay up 2 days straight to finish one quest. the animation flows smoothly and there are little quests apart from the main ones that you can follow to further shape ure character.
I would highly recommend this title for any KOTOR / just RPG fans, or even if youre not, the game can be a great pass time. the only thing that concerns me know is what next? i think they should make like an online version of jade empire, but ill leave that to the experts haha!
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 26Jul2006 | | | i remember this game before it came out, it sounded too good and just like fable, it was. there lots of stuff like becoming famous and having your own school, where you could use as a criminal hq. but there was none of that and a lot of talking.
when i first got this game, i got so bored that i didnt pick up to play for 5 months, and i only played it cos i was really bored.
theres lots of talking, which is what liked because you had to be careful what you chose.
jade empire is a quite small game world, you only visit 4 areas, KOTOR 1&2 was bigger.
storyline was alright, bit obvisous, as soon as the master praising me, i worked out the ending. KORTOR 1 had a better twist. and it didnt seem the character made an impact.
the mini games was completly awful and pointless.
nice graphics, voice acting didnt annoy me to much.
LOADING WAY TOO LONG
thought i could make my own character considering their previous games, but couldnt.
but after all these things, i still managed to complete the game, because i thought the interaction between the player and npcs was pretty good.
sorry for the bad spelling
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 20Apr2006 | | | When thinking of a title for this review I was quite simply lost for words. No pithy one liner can do justice to this unique game. This is an RPG in a class of its own. So many of the classic pitfalls of the genre have been avoided without affecting gameplay. The pacing is perfect with never a moment to wonder where your next quest is going to come from. The quests meld with the storyline so perfectly that you always feel like an integral participant in great things. There is never the sense that youre working your way down an arbitrary checklist, completing quest simply because they are there. Even the side-quests feel like a smaller part of the whole. In short, playing Jade Empire is like playing a part in a well directed and perfectly edited movie.
That is not to say that the game is not challenging. One of the great aspects of of Jade Empire is the combat system. Guess what ... you are actually in control of the combat. Sure, character generation and experience work towards building up the skills and knowledge of your warrior, but the real-time combat system demands the player to take control using the skills he / she has earned. In order to succeed you need to take control - to be strategic, vigilant and responsive in equaly measure. In fact the combat system is so deep it could easily stand as a game in its own right without the RPG.
The fact that Bioware have created a game that is rich and deep in both RPG content and combat is to be commended.
The graphics and sound both deserve special mention - beautiful, lush enviroments, superbely rendered characters and excellent voice acting all serve to immerse the player in the world of Jade Empire without even realising its happening.
Im not normally one for RPG but Jade Empire has stolen my life. I simply cannot put the game down - Ive thrown myself into my character and I just have to keep playing to find out what happens next.
I really cannot recommend this game enough, but only buy it if you have a understanding family - you wont be seeing them for a few weeks.
