While everybody was kung-fu fighting, we were hurling lightning

There are a few concerns though. The game always defaults back to the last style used in battle once a fight begins (even if you’ve changed this in between). Plus, despite the richly designed environments, low-res textures still abound.

However, with a great story, tons of missions, beautifully rich settings, satisfying fighting and brilliant characterization, all swaddled in over 20 hours of play, Jade Empire has transcended its Xbox roots to reincarnate itself as a high-kicking, epic RPG for PC. The chi is strong with this one.

You'll love
  • Lush environments
  • Fast-paced and taxing fighting
  • Great support cast & excellent dialog
You'll hate
  • Fighting's a little janky
  • Two-year old Xbox game
  • Pretty short

Well if its BioWare hitting close to its best then its definatly worth giving a go. I don't like short games but if the gameplay and script are top class then its easy enough to look past that.
