Jade Empire

This is an interesting game. It’s an RPG set not in your typical fantasy Tolkien landscape, but in a mythical Asian landscape. In this regard, it goes where no other RPG has gone. Jade Empire, also another Bioware game, has great characters, great voice acting, and great writing - typical of most Bioware games. While, I won’t say Jade Empire is as good as KOTOR, Mass Effect, or Baldur's’s Gate 2, it has a definite charm. The game also features an interesting fighting combo system. If you are a fantasy loving martial arts junkie who loves playing RPGs, well, Jade Empire is the perfect game. I don’t think Jade Empire gets the loving that it deserves - perhaps it lives in the shadow of its greater sibling, but Jade Empire is one of the better RPGs out there. Play it. Now.
