Confront lawless bandits, evil magicians, demonic incarnations, and other foul villains that protect the Jade Empire’s darkest secrets. Stare in awe at the sweeping views of the lush environments, sheer vertical drops, and overpowering scale that provide the visual backdrop to the story.

Strengths: graphics, story/script, real time combat
Weakness: the combat is too simple
Jade Empire is a perfect blend of action and rpg elements. Unlike many rpgs, including Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire's combat isn't turn based or menu driven. Because of this the game flows much better and plays like a standard action game; you run up to enemies and tap buttons to punch or evade. Throughout the course of the game, your character will learn different styles of...
Strengths: Really well made game all around.
Weakness: Relatively short for an RPG, final playtime ends up being around 20 to 30 hours.
Jade Empire is Canadian developer Bioware's second role playing game offering for the Microsoft Xbox. The first RPG offering was the hit Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I expected Jade Empire to be a great deal like KOTOR, and it ended up having a lot of similarities with one major difference. It has a real time combat system that was a welcome change in game design from Bioware's...
Strengths: Open-ended game play, engaging storyline, RPG style action, controls, voice acting
Weakness: None
From the makers of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, comes a totally new adventure called Jade Empire. The game resembles the Star Wars: KOTOR series in that it gives you choices during certain situations that mold your character into more of a hero or a villain. The game offers two different paths to take, the way of the open palm or the way of the closed fist. The decisions...
Strengths: Amazing storyline, great graphics, sound and voice acting, well-done RPG system, bonus character in LE version
Weakness: None apparent
Jade Empire: Limited Edition is an RPG game set in ancient China. The storyline involves the quest against an evil force, involving numerous characters and plot devices.

In the LE version, another character is available for replay....

Strengths: Excellent battle system, great storyline
Weakness: Combat could have used bit of tweaking
Bioware delivers another excellent rpg with Jade Empire. I loved almost everything about the game. It's only about 20 hours in length, which turns off some but that just made me wanna replay the game with a different character. The story line is beautifully written and the combat system is something that is actually fun. It plays out in real time and could be described as a beat em up with...
Strengths: Awesome story and characters Excellent audio and voicework. Fun fighting system.
Weakness: Main story is short but you will want to play it again.
Jade Empire is Bioware's latest RPG for the Xbox. The story takes place in a mythical chinese world where demons and ghosts roam the land. As the main character, you are a top class martial arts student who must find out about his or her past. The fighting system is very fun in this game since it gives you complete control over your character. You can use weapons and magic as well. All of the...
Strengths: great battle system, story, voice acting, graphics
Weakness: English doesn't fit the mood of the game
Jade Empire is an action RPG from Bioware, the makers of KOTOK. This game carries over the the amazing story, voice acting, and graphics. The battle system this time is much better, since it is real time. The replay value is huge becase you can chose how you want to add through out the game. My only complain is that English doesnt really fit the Eastern setting.
Strengths: Very Different! Good Action Battle System! Realistic Fighting style! Bright Clear Graphic! Extra Bonus compare the the regular edition!
Weakness: Story gets Boring and moves very slow pace! Too many stupid Side Quest!
Well I got my Hards on the Limited edition Version of this Game. I'll list whats is the extra of the limited edition. Extras in Limited edition: The limited edition is the same price as the regular version (so there no reason not to get it!), Nice Foil DVD cover, 1 Addtional Downloadable character to play the whole game through again, Some Playable Demo, A Nice G4TV making of the game Video!...

When it was announced last year that BioWare was not going to be developing the sequel to their game of the year smash hit Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, more than a few gamers took some worried notice. Fortunately, KOTOR II turned out to be a great game that more than did justice to its predecessor. When it was revealed that BioWare was instead going to work on an ancient China themed...

JADE EMPIRE
Strengths: awesome story and voice acting
Weakness: shallow combat system, short game relative to other RPGs
JADE EMPIRE is an RPG/action game for the xbox. Unlike many RPGs , the action is in real time and not turn based, making the battles more dynamic and exciting. If u have played the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games, u will fit right in w/ this one. U pick from a cast of different characters, who have their own unique background stories such as fighting to seek greater honor or for some...
