Editorial Review: Product Description: Jade Empire is a new kind of role-playing adventure, set in a mythical, medieval China. You are a young martial artist, studying under your master's watchful eye and developing your mystical powers. When danger threatens from the ruling authorities, you must travel across the world and learn the secret martial styles&techniques. Use them to defeat the most powerful enemies and carve a place for yourself in the Jade Empire. Amazon.com: After the incredible success and acclaim of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare knew they had some serious shoes to fill. The wait is finally over! From BioWare and the Microsoft Game Studios comes the ambitious and head-turning role playing game, Jade Empire. The game's designers have crafted an entirely new and unique world inspired by ancient Chinese myths and legends. In the primeval, arcane setting of the Jade Empire, you'll train under your master's watchful gaze and learn the mystical and magical powers of ancient martial arts. You'll travel widely -- from the rugged mountains of the Land of Howling Spirits to the luxuriant gardens of the Imperial City--as you make your way on your quest. Powerful human and supernatural foes will stand in your way, but with practice you'll learn to overcome your most powerful enemies. And as you venture forth through Jade Empire, you'll be challenged with questions that will ultimately lead you to discover the darkest secrets of the world. The game begins when a series of sinister events disrupt the peaceful harmony of an isolated martial arts school. You'll be forced to confront a slew of shady characters, evil warlocks, demonic beasts, and other atrocious villains that protect the Jade Empire's deepest secrets. Jade Empire offers you the chance to become a martial arts master. You'll assume the identity of one of six different characters and begin developing your skills. Each character has a unique appearance, voice, and fighting style. As you progress in the game, you'll decide whether to adopt the ways of good or evil, and your choices will affect your reputation. Jade Empire matches the frenetic pace and fury of Hong Kong cinema. As you progress in the game, you'll upgrade your combat ability and learn new, specially tailored moves for your character. Only by mastering your moves and defeating the most powerful enemies will you earn your place as a master in the world of Jade Empire. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Simply a great gameI bought this game in hopes of killing some time and hopefully having some kind of fun. What I got was an awesome adventure that stayed with me. It's a single player action RPG but it's not like the others I've played. The fighting is intense. The story is awesome and it makes the combat all the more exiting. I found myself imagining that the people and monsters I was fighting were real. I couldn't help but be immersed in the game and the outcome of the battles. This game ...

All the "phenomenal" games are great and all, but after playing this game I felt like I had just read a really good book. The story and character development that come along in the game as you play it through is amazing with beautiful scenery, history, and culture within the game as well. The game keeps track of how long you've played and it said I had played a total of 19 hours to finish the game from start ... Read More Rating: - Immersive with Great StorylineI just spent the last week playing Jade Empire, created by the developers of Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). On two occasions, I started playing KOTOR and just couldn't finish it--poor battle system and I just got plain bored. No such thing with Jade Empire. Had a difficult time putting it down (unfortunately,I have to earn a living and had to go to work between gaming sessions). It's immersive, has beautiful graphics, and has an interesting twist in the storyline. As a girl gamer, I liked having the ...

You begin your journey as a young student of the martial arts after your village came under siege and your master was kidnapped by an unknown enemy. In your travels to locate your master, you discover that your homeland, The Jade Empire, has fallen into complete darkness and despair, incomparable to the idyllic environment of your village nestled away on the boarder. As you come to discover the mysteries ... Read More Rating: - Perhaps the best Xbox RPGLet's face it. The Xbox RPG landscape is pretty barren. Hyped hits such as games like Fable and Sudeki were disappointing, and in the ladder's case, even lousy. Prior to Jade Empire's release, the only real RPG worth mentioning is KOTOR (Star Wars- Knights of the Old Republic), made by Bioware, who of course made jade empire as well. Let me make this crystal clear: If you've played KOTOR and didn't like it, don't buy this game. There are too many similarities between the two. Dialogue system, graphics, ... Read More |
