No. Jade Empire is a good game but has a number of flaws. It's a great game and is definitely worth playing, but certainly not 9.9 good.

Its okay, Knights of The Old Republic is built off a similar system though and about a million times better.

The story and setting in Knights of The Old Republic is no where near as good as in Jade Empire.

I would disagree strongly but I suppose thats just where you and I differ.

Bingo. Jade Empire is definitely a great game, but a 9.9 is overrating it.

You got a great deal with those 5 dollars. Enjoy.

The first time I played it I was a dissapointed. But I played it again recently about 6 months ago and found a new appreciation for the game.

It is really good, just not 9.9 good. But for five dollars its a fantastic game. 360 BC has a lot of games like that for five-ten dollars. For that price you wont be dissapointed.

I would disagree strongly but I suppose thats just where you and I differ.

I think the two storys are both entertaining, but I prefer the Jade Empire setting a lot more.

it really comes down to personal preferrence for settings, some people preferre the space theme, some people preferre something different

this is one of the reasons why i don't look at IGN reviews.

JE is a good game, but it's not 9.9 good. the game felt more like a mid AA game. IMO battle system was better, but story wise it wasnt as good as KOTOR 1.

As others have said, you got a good deal. I liked Jade Empire, but KOTOR was better.

The thing that annoys me is that the Jade Empire setting was not fully exploited in the first game, and we have not had any other RPG's with a similar setting yet.

Either a fantasy setting that is very western, or space rpg's. I like both. But it was awsome getting an RPG with a setting like some of those great eastern flicks like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero.

Although I thought I read a rumor recently that a Jade Empire sequal was in the works. But I doubt it. I hope so, though.

Jade Empire is the fantasy equivalent of KOTOR, but it it's not 9.9, more like just a 9. Dispite it's flaws, Jade Empire is a very good game.

It definitely isn't a 9.9. I thought it was better 8.4 though, which is what it got on GameSpot. I think it is 8.9 on Gamerankings, which is about right imo.

Jade Empire was a good game, the combat was lame but the storyline was pretty sweet if I remembered correctly

should be a 9.0

This game is awsome. I love the story and characters. The combat is fun and real time. Though the game could feel a bit easy at times.

LOL 9.9 i think not.....maybe 8.8......i remember the selling point was 22 or 24 i cant really remember differet styles, i was thinking even back then....that each style would have like 3 or 4 moves.....and i was correct.....but its a great game, even better for 5 bucks, be happy and proud
