"Crap combat system, crap characters, crap story. The design and visuals were quite nice, but after the excellent KotOR, Jade Empire was just a massive step down from Bioware. Hopefully they'll do a better job with Mass Effect."
The combat system was so-so, but for the rest, it was just fine. The characters where very sterotypical (positive imo) and the interaction with them was very nice & the storyline was solid. The music was brilliant and the art was refreshing. |

The story and characters are real good in this but found the fighting system a bit average. I liked the fact that the good/evil (or what ever it is) path really changes how the game progresses.
Plus the little girl possessed by the demon is cool. How could you resist a character called "hen-pecked ho" :)

KOTOR2 wasn't as good as KOTOR but still a good game. Hopefully this will live up to the standard of KOTOR.

Jade Empire is a step down, IMO, and indicative of the direction Bioware is heading as a developer. Successive Bioware RPGs seem to increasingly concentrate on voice acting, whizz bang graphics (not a bad thing at all) and real time-ish combat systems at the expense of the things that are most important (to me, not everyone) in an RPG - namely size, scope and non-linearity, as well as more player freedom.
I thought Jade Empire was nice, but was far too linear and not nearly epic enough in scope. I know they were trying to do something a bit different, but Bioware seem to steadily be moving away from the style of RPGs I most enjoy, namely BGI and II, planescape, Fallout etc. |

I thought I was the only one who thought JE was hugely overrated. They dumbed down everything that made KotoR great so badly it left if drooling in the corner with a rugby helmet on to stop it hurting itself.
No character customisation, slender story line and dreadful 'Jump over head, counter' combat all made for a pretty poor game. I spent the first hour going 'oooh, pretty...' and the subsequent 4 hours saying 'ok....whens it going to kick in.......'. |
