one of a kind
jade empire is definitely a must play. not just because its addictive and covers a great story but the theme sets in ancient china. when you run around in china as a chinese kung fu master fending off exotic demons you'll fall into a completely different world. but really the settings are great and as an action adventure game it sure goes beyond it's line. graphics, action scenes, story, all are covered beautifully. you will sure enjoy fighting those demons.
Bad:
the games kinda open ended. you can control your relationship with all your friends but when the game ends you cant continue playing it so its a total waste of time collecting those talisman and gems. there are a number of starting characters, but id on't think you would want to do it all over again. jad empire is a one way trip, an awesome trip by the way
Overall:
im always a big fan of mystic demons, they're somewhat appealing. there's frog demons, demons with a fox head, elephant head, horse head, etc. the story is also profound, surely you cant make **** like this. theres just some point in the game where you will be amazed and mesmerised by what they are displaying, and you will just go to whatever to wow.
