Developer: BioWare


When you think of the company BioWare, you think of RPG's such as Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic. In 2005, a new name was added to that list with Jade Empire on the Xbox, and while it had its share of flaws, it was a generally well received game. Finally, after about a 10 month wait since its announcement, the Windows platform has been graced with its own version of Jade Empire and while an effort has been made to take advantage of the PC platform, much of the game remains the same.

For those who haven't played the Xbox version, Jade Empire tells the story of a young fighting student and his master in the heartland of ancient China. This student - your controlled character - is actually the 'teacher's pet' of the training academy with a level of skill far exceeding any of the other students and as such, it doesn't take very long for the game to shed your character of his/her training shackles and set you off into the big bad world. As the storyline goes, your master is captured and you go after those who did it to set him free, which is a pretty generic premise but luckily the storyline has many twists and turns to keep you hooked. As for the playable characters themselves, you are given a choice of a few male and female warriors who each represent a particular build and style, such as speed or strength, which is fine but the lacking of any significant character customization is a little disappointing.
