User Comments about the Jade Empire Special Edition

It's a game with beautiful scenes, handsome actors, and interesting plots that all RPG gamers will certainly love. Taking a look at my signature you know I like Chinese Wu Xia movies and novels. And this is the perfect RPG game for Wu Xia fans like me. Another classic RPG from Bioware.



The Controls are intuitive, combat is interesting, music is great and the graphics are quite acceptable. I just finished this game, and what a pleasant suprise it was. If you are trying to run this game on Vista, remember to R-click on the icon and run as administrator, in order to load your save games. I've become so acoustomed to playing RPG's with weak story lines, that I had forgotten what it felt like to get engrossed in one that played out like a good movie. I was a little bored through the first chapter, then all of the sudden, I began to realize what a wonderful story this was. Although it's strong point is the supurb story, this game doesn't have too many faults. Don't miss this great,fun game.



The actors in this game are by far the best I've seen, a great RPG and the price is so low the game is so worth it to buy.



The story has some good twists. On the higher difficulties, it's quite challenging. Not a bad game. I think the keyboard controls are a little clumsy: I found myself switching between having two hands on the keyboard and one on the mouse more often that I should have had to. The game is worth playing, but it's no enduring masterpiece (unlike KOTOR).



The story is wonderful and the settings at times look like beautiful works of art. The combat is one I thing might have to criticize. Inside the story they label the character with a title (In Jade Empire, Spirit Monk, KOTOR, Revan). The game is great and I love playing it. In combat if I had a challenging enemy I would often back them into a corner or switch between styles to prevent them from doing anything(Though the switching of styles is good synergy)Another problem I find is when comparing this game and Knights of the Old Republic (Another game developed by the same company) When playing I noticed something similar between the two characters. Throughout the story your character is almost always referred to by that name (Though the character needs to be referred to some how besides "hey you" and the title does add some interest and value to the character). I just find it to be a minor annoyance and made me feel like the company recycled some parts from KOTOR.


It can get repetitive using the same attacks over and over but the large list of styles helps. I was always focused and immersed when playing I could feel myself compelled to continue and play. However it often comes down to deciding what is the most efficient style(Though opinion may vary). I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Rpgs and even to people new to Rpgs.
