Jade Empire

[Horrorfan]

I am sorely thinking about getting this for the original xbox....I am interested in China's history, and it sounds like fable with martial arts.

what do you guys think? could you give me more details? (ie storyline, gameplay, etc?)

 

[Mr. Credible]

the gameplay was pretty good... not as good as the original knights of the old republic, in my opinion, but the "summons" were nice, and i like the way the upgrades were handled through the gems... it seemed like there weren't as many oppurtunities to be either good or bad as knights of the old republic, either, but that could just be me.

the story was all in all pretty generic... there was one pretty nice twist (that you'll see coming a mile away) though. it's felt pretty short, too, but i couldn't tell you how long it took me to beat it, because i left it on for a few days accidentally, so my time was all screwed up.

but, for the $10 you'll end up paying for this game, it's definately worth it.

Or the 15 for the Limited Edition if you can find it.

Can't beat playing as Monk Zeng.

 

[Mr. Credible]

how do you get to do that?

i'll be honest, i didn't put too much effort into the side quests... after i got the jade golem, i didn't have to "try" to beat any boss at all, so i just coasted through the rest of the game. i didn't care about getting any extras.

so when's this coming out for PC?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Who cares, it's not that good.

 

[JackBauer]

I'd like to find out for myself, thank you very much.

 

[SLVRSR4]

This game lacked character customization maybe i didn't want to be asian!? but seriously 5 characters only.

 

[Trigger]

I thought it was six? Three guys, three girls?

 

[XwolverineX]

Who cares? And word of advice, never EVER say you wouldn't want to be asian with Blas lurking.

 

[블라스]

Excellent point.

 

[Horrorfan]

I picked this up today for cheap

 

[XwolverineX]

Excellent point.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I'd like to find out for myself, thank you very much.

There's an excellent fourth act. Just hack it to skip the rest of the dialogue-athon that the first three quarters of the game is.
