Great game, I had to replace a damaged Jade Empire Disk I had with a new game disk, I missed playing it, plus I wanted to see if I could still defeat Sun Li the Glorious Strategist in 1 on 1 combat, I see I still haven't lost my touch, though it's still a good challenge & I also helped the orphans that died in the flood of Tien's landing, I've almost forgotten how fun it was to play. the game was in perfect condition among receiving it.

Overall ok. Based on EBay’s “Good” category it’s indeed good. That said I personally found it a bit disingenuous to receive the game to find the case damage was not shown in photos or given in description.

Jade Empire is an awesome game it is a mixture of RPG, Fighting, & adventure. you play as one of 6 Characters (7 if you have the Limited Edition) and start off in the practice ring of your school where you are nearing the end of your martial arts training. almost fluid fighting and speech. there are several styles of combat to choose from ranging from leaping tiger where you attack & sefend with steel claws to maribell a musket loading gun with a powerfull but slow fire rate & fortunes favorite a speedy longsword which has the ablity to decapitate your opponent. superb graphicsmake this game one of the best on the market, & along with combat styles, speech, & the ability to choose if you will be good or evil makes this game one of the most enjoyable games i have played, the path choices also make the replay value enjoyable also. i have actualy had to buy a second Jade Empire game because my first one burned out i played it so much so this has Lobo's seal of approval written all over it GrimLobo / LoboRead full review
Jade Empire was way ahead of its time and Bioware was coming into their own. I loved Knights of the Old Republic so I knew the quality Bioware was capable of and Jade Empire delivered on all fronts! If you've never played this game then you need to do yourself a favor and check it out. It's bittersweet because Bioware used to be an amazing developer but now they are just a shadow of their former selves!

I bought Jade Empire solely because it was made by Bioware (who did the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic RPG) I enjoyed that game so much and I had seen some screen shots to Jade, that I had to buy it. I was glad I did. At first, the character creation seemed a little simplistic compared to KOTOR I and the combat system was a little alien (real-time with a decent amount of control...sorta like Tekken 5: Devil within mini-game) but I soon loved it and I have a hard time going back to KOTOR's turn based system after I could fight over a dozen opponents in Jade and rely more on reflexes and strategy than my AC and how quickly I could heal. It captures the Good/Evil aspect of KOTOR quite well and allows for repeat play. Pros: There are some big levels and it is pretty well fleshed out. The graphics are amazing and there are some really funny characters in it. The fighting styles are very different and the character advancement allows you to play the kind of character you want, from a lighting fast kung-fu god to a shape-changing oriental wizard to a powerhouse weapon master or any combination you can imagine. The romance sub-plot is interesting and 'current' as well. You can have a male-female, female-female, male-male, or male-female-female relationship in the game if you play your cards right (and that last one is a little tricky) Cons: Remember what I said about the big levels? Some are a little too big...it seemed like I was going on forever to fill in the sub-plots. Plus, the first 4 levels get bigger with each one, but the last 3 seem to fly by. Another complaint is not about the game, but the strategy guide...it really misses a lot of good/evil options and it's opinions on different magic and fighting styles in way off. Things they said sucked were the best forms of magic or fighting I found in the game. I guess it depends on your style. I really loved the game and was glad I bought it. spend a few dollars more and get the special edition with the extra character (a monk) and weapon. it's worth it if you want to replay. If you like SW: KOTOR I & II or Martial Arts RPGs, you will love it too.Read full review
