Jade Empire (Xbox)

I like the graphics on this. I recommend this product to others, but only if you are really into gaming.

I *love* this game. The options and the range of styles of characters is huge, and the fighting is easy to learn and execute, while the character still makes the moves look pretty friggin' fancy. If you enjoyed KOTOR, KOTOR 2, or Fable, you'll really like this game, too.

This game deserves the 30+ awards it got, it is simply amazing. I could play this for hours, by far the finest RPG i've played, even better than Final Fantasy series. Do yourself a favor and buy this today!

Beutiful graphics and sweet gameplay. If youl like rpg witha good deal of dialogue you will really enjoy this game

I bought this game a while ago but had a friend who borrowed it and never returned it. I never got to finish the game. Jade Empire was an okay type of game. It had real-time reactions which was a cool concept but the engine was subpar compared to what I expected it to be like. The story was okay. It's a good adventure to get into if you haven't tried it. It's nice to have in the collection. The potential is there for a great sequel, but this one is slightly repetitive in fighting style.

Jade Empire is Action RPG at it'd finest, one the best xbox games ever on Microsoft's short lived system, I never owned Xbox original system, but I now own the Xbox 360 and Jade Empire is backward compatible, so if you have a 360 or Xbox Original I would recommend this game, this game is easy to find at a bargain price. Ign.com has video reviews of this game

it was my boys birthday and they had been wanting this and it was a good price. the boys have not stopped playing they have stayed up till 4 am to play this game. i feel it was worth getting.

I enjoyed this rpg because it was not the typical midevil rpg and very much enjoyed the oriental style to this game.
This game has depth and provides several days of enjoyable game play.
Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys rpg's and has not yet played the game.

the product was in great sahpe good delivery and good rates. and i have to complete 100 characters..............

There was very fast service and the shipping was a reasonable price. I would purchase from this seller again.

The first thing I noticed while playing Jade Empire was the lack of Character customization, and no I don't mean the traits and abilities like Mind, Body and Spirit upgrades or even the fighting/support styles to which their linked. I'm talking about the visuals, stuff like outfits and armor. It just didn't seem right that aside from the color of my alignment (open or closed fist), my character couldn't sport any new looks like was done in KotOR. By the end of the game my character looked just as he did when he was an apprentice at the Two Rivers training school. Eh, but in the scope of things, it's not that big of a deal I guess.

A more major issue was the fact that hardly any of JE's characters had even the slightest Chinese accent. There were two characters that I remember vividly with voices that just made me cringe. One was a overly happy guy in Tiens Landing who sounded like some creepy used car salesman and another guy in the city fighting arena who sounded like(and I kid you not) "The Comic Book Guy" from the Simpsons. It all just seemed so wrong and out of place.

Another thing that was reintroduced was the dialogue trees used to give players the ability (some would say "illusion") to choose what to say towards NPC's responses. Don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible concept, but after awhile you'll find yourself skipping whole conversations because it's all so predictable and long-winded (although the evil responses tend to be somewhat humorous at times).

I was also a bit annoyed that the games ending(s) weren't very spectacular or epic (although the one big twist at the end had me scratching my noggin in wonder and confusion, I was definitely caught off guard. I was kind of hoping that I'd get some 3-5 five minute eye candy for my troubles and not just some lame "where are they now" thing done completely in text. Although if your patient enough to stick around for the credits, you'll get some funny dialogue going on with a familiar character.

Okay, so you've read what seems to be a lot of negativity on my part so far and your wondering why I still gave JE a 4/5? Well simply put, this was a very solid game with a good story to boot. There were very rare moments to where I thought JE was either too easy or difficult, and that's something that can sink a game. Look at Ninja Gaiden for example, now theres a game that's just way too difficult for it's own good. It's the reason why it's only liked by the very few die hard gamers who are gluttons for punishment. Than on the other side of the street you have all too easy games like Devil May Cry 2. But thankfully JE falls square in the middle.

All-in-all Jade Empire is a beautiful looking game for the XBox and definitely worth the purchase (although you could probably rent it over the weekend given that it only takes the average gamer 15-20 hours to finish)

Three of these games were purchased as gifts. All three recipients were thrilled with them. I learned that Jade Empire was the "game of the year" a couple years ago and very popular. The price was right and the three game players give Jade Empire "thumbs up".

Thank you for the fast shipping and excellent condition of the video game Jade Empire for the xbox, will be enjoyed thoroughly.

its rated 9.9 on ign.com, and deserves it. it is a very addicting rpg that has both the cinamatics and storyline to make it quite possibly the best game ever created for xbox

Seller made things easy. Item arrived in excellent time. ebay makes shopping for my kids easy. They watch items and I decide what to get them. Thanks!!!!

No complaints, But i could i have done without so much talking at times you wanted to just dive in and started fighting but overall good for me

This was an excellent game all around but the strongest points were its fighting system and level up system. The fighting system was the best I have ever seen. You can choose from many different fighting styles and weapons and you can upgrade each to your liking. Also, when you leveled up you could choose between three things; Mind, Body, Spirit. All of these have uses. An added bonus was that you could choose wether to be "open palmed" or "closed fisted". For example you could choose to either help someone and earn their gold or just simply kill them and take their gold. Another thing was the flyer mini games. They were really fun. It was like a classic fighter jet arcade game, where, you can get upgrades and the enemys flying at you get harder and harder, except that it was part of the mission. The only thing I did not like about it was fighting the ghosts. You can't use weapons (which is what i upgraded most) and some spirits have an unblockable, undodgable attack. It is really a pain. Other than that, which added a little challenge, it was perfect.

I almost loved it. Well, I did. Let me explain. It is a little slow at the beginning and is a little short of the BioWare love in the ending department. But all in all this is a great game. Most of the missions are great and are a lot of fun to do. This is a BioWare game. It gas a top notch storyline that you are going to want to play, as soon as it actually gets started.
