Jade Empire

Jade Empire Xbox

Strengths: Easily, one of the best RPGs ever! BioWare's Jade Empire doesn't disappoint!

Weakness: None

No lie, this if the best rpg ever made. The story is amazing, the graphics gorgeous, sound and voiceovers perfect, and the controls, menu setup and combat system is flawless. If you love deep, innovative games and dont mind spending hours upon hours diving into them; then this game is for you.

Not only good for Star Wars...

Strengths: Great RPG elements mixed with real time fighting

Weakness: Rough auto-camera

Bioware really made a name for itself with Knights of the Old Republic. SO when I heard they were making another game, I thought it would be similar. Aside from a good story and an overall satisfying experience, boy was I wrong. Jade Empire allows you to choose your character from a group of different archetypes. You can customize your character’s starting fighting styles and can gain different...

Jade Empire

Strengths: Great story line, awesome fighting and magic

Weakness: None

This is probably the best RPG on Xbox yet. There was tons of hype about this game and I'm certainly happy to own it. This game is absolutely the best, and there's a limited edition with extra characters you can pick up. The story line to this game is what it's all about. If you liked KOTAR you will for sure like this. Every decision counts, the replay value is excellent!

Jade Empire

Strengths: excellent storytelling, exciting combat, and gorgeous visuals

Weakness: too much dialogue in the game

just from the hype on this game, Jade Empire has already established itself as one of the greatest xbox games available. It has a strong rating in all aspects of RPG play(ie. storyline, sidequests, graphics, uniqueness of characters). you have your choice of 6 awesome characters(7 if you have the LE version). you really cant knock the game, but i have to throw in one little complaint...TOO MUCH...

Jade Empire

Strengths: Another great Bioware RPG, beautiful graphics, excellent voice acting, intriguing storyline, real-time combat, colorful cast of characters

Weakness: Side quests end after 3/4 of the game is completed, previous areas visited can't be returned to after this either, relatively short for an RPG

Canadian developer Bioware made a name for itself in PC games over the years, but their console breakout title Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic won over both consumers and critics in 2003, winning at least five different game of the year awards. Having given the development of KOTOR 2 over to Obsidian Entertainment, Bioware's followup to their 2003 game of the year is Jade Empire. If you...

Jade Empire

Strengths: There are many strengths to this game including; beautiful graphics, easy button layout, large variety of characters, and a deep storyline.

Weakness: One of the main weaknesses to this game is that the gameplay gets a little repetitive if you've been playing for awhile. Another weakness is that it is too short for an rpg (about 25 hours).

I highly recommend Jade Empire because the xbox does not have many role playing games, and Jade Empire is an outstanding addition to the xbox's role playing game library. There is everything you would expect from a good rpg including leveling up, a variety of weapons, a large variety of background characters, beautiful graphics and a well thought out story. If you're looking for an rpg for the...

Jade Empire

Strengths: The best RPG on the Xbox, very in depth game. Excellent story.

Weakness: The game is a bit short for an RPG.

Bioware's latest RPG for the Xbox, Jade Empire, fulfills all my expectations. A great story with alot of interesting dialogue, this game is probably the best RPG yet on the Xbox. An interesting real time battle system rounds it out, as well as some interesting gameplay mechanics. My only complaint is that it falls a bit short compared to normal RPG's - it's sad because the adventure is that good....

Jade Empire

Strengths: Awesome story and fluid fighting.

Weakness: Some loading screens.

This has to be the best RPG available right now. It plays out like a classic Kung Fu movie. The young pupil is trained in the Master's care. After a trajedy, he goes off on an adventure to get answers and kick butt along the way. The graphics are excellent, creating an ancient mythical China with an enormous cast of characters. All of the characters are voiced with commendable voice acting,...

It is recommended that you purchase the limited edition version of the game if possible. From the makers of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, comes a totally new adventure called...

Jade Empire

Strengths: Real-time fighting system, good story line, nice graphics and audio

Weakness: Somewhat short for an RPG

Jade Empire is the latest RPG from Bioware for the Xbox. This game is set in a magical ancient China and features a very nice fighting engine. Unlike most RPGs, the fighting is done in real-time and is very easy to understand. The animation is extremely fluid and it's nice to watch all the martial arts moves that you character can do. There are several different characters to pick from and your...
