Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Jade Empire: Special Edition is a lot of fun.The milieu is a fresh breath of air from the typical fantasy setting and the combat is certainly more dynamic.Instead of issuing commands and then waiting for the computer to resolve dice rolls behind the scenes, the combat is pure real-time martial arts.You jump your character in and out, dodge, roll, and have to actually connect when you strike.It brings out an urgency and involvement that is sometimes lacking in RPG combat.
The graphics may not be at the level of Oblivion, but they're crisp and pretty.Plus the game runs on a system that's not quite state-of-the art without issue.Apart from a few bugs (sometimes the camera angle gets stuck, easily fixed by a quick reload), Jade Empire runs smoothly.
The game has limited replay value, though.This is simply not as in-depth or large a game universe as Knights of the Old Republic or the Baldur's Gate series. You have a small starting town, which there is no point revisiting once you finish the introductory chapter.After that, there's a somewhat larger town (Tien's Landing) and then the Imperial City.Again, once you leave the town, you probably won't have any reason to ever go back.And the Imperial City is the same story:once you've wrapped up everything and head to the Imperial Palace, you won't be going back to the City.
That's a shame because the game feels so linear as a result.There's side quests in each urban location, but nothing that really makes you feel like you're forging your own destiny in another world.You won't be doing anything equivalent to rescuing Anise's castle in BG2 or acting as a hit man for the Genoharadan in KOTOR.
So my final verdict is that this is definitely a good game.But will I dust it off the shelf every few months, eager to give it another go (like I do with BG2, Kotor, and even Fallout 2)?That I can't be so sure about.
