A seemingly innocent yet foolish act by a love-lorn student leads you on a dangerous path that takes you on travels throughout this stunning, mysterious land. As you try and make sense of what is happening increasingly you are faced with other-worldly, even undead creatures who test your mettle and skills to the utmost, this is a learning experience, each conflict hones your powers and may even pass onto you skills and attributes garnered from your defeated foes. Eventually perhaps you will have what it takes to face your destiny and the dark powers set against you in the Jade Empire.

Bioware does it again.

How can I say this? Bioware does it again. It's a fun game, with a great fighting system, fun characters, and an interesting plot.

Who DOESN'T like the "comic relief sadist", and Sky, the smart aleck thief. Heck, even Zu gets some nice lines. Plus, characters often have interesting "twists" which adds to the fun.

All in all, I'm hard-pressed to find flaws...You can switch styles, which prevents boredom, and even get a GUN! I cannot find a reason NOT to play it, other than the fact that it REALLY needs a "script" downloadable...because of the cool quotes! Are you playing this yet? THEN GO BUY IT!
