Xbox Original Review: Jade Empire from Mass Effect greats, BioWare

September 07, 2008 in Reviews comments 4

An epic game when it first appeared and by the great RPG developers BioWare. Jade Empire's return via Xbox Originals has put gamers back in touch with an older epic.

Check the review out and see what you might be missing out on if you do not grab it soon.

An exceptional RPG available for the 1st-Gen Xbox is now readily available as an Xbox Original via Xbox 360 Marketplace, for 1200 MSP. BioWare’s Jade Empire is an RPG of epic proportions and a game that any serious fan of the genre must experience at some stage or another, as while it may not be the best, it surely is one of the more interesting and engaging additions to the genre.

The game starts off with you having to select from a list of 6 warriors, who you may wish to use during this epic journey. From the moment you choose the character you are thrust into the world of Jade Empire, starting off as one of the more trusted students under the teachings of Master Li, head of the Two Rivers Martial Arts school.

    I played Jade Empire about a month ago. 9/10 for this beaut, though I doubt I'm gonna play it again any time soon seeing as I've squeezed just about almost everything the game had to offer on my first playthrough.

    I played Jade Empire back on my original Xbox and loved it. Unfortunately, it started to feel a bit dull played through the second and third time.

    Now KOTOR is a different story. If they posted that on the Marketplace, I'd play the hell out of it.

      Well they are building a new KOTOR whihc has been validated by the developers that a game is under development, so you might have your dream fulfilled. But not until at least end of '09 . .

      I'm doing a huge 360 game listing update, and the number of new IP's becoming available is mind blowing. For console gamers, we are being spoilt rotten. So many once PC only titles now coming across to the consoles, far less exclusives so they are spread across all major platforms etc.

      WHile I still have a "sealed" copy of Jade Empire for the 1st-Gen Xbox, I did get the XO version to see what it was like. I didn't mind it, but RPG's just don't "do it" for me I'm afraid. And the start of it is tiring, as it takes heaps of work to win against the easiest of foes. SOme taking several minutes to beat.

      At least now I know to keep the original copy sealed and offer it for sale some day as a mint copy . . never opened or played.

        Yeah, But the word is that KOTOR 3 is going to be an MMO, It would be cool an all, But I would just want to have KOTOR 3 normal.
