Jade Empire (XBOX)

- xbox exclusive
- I picked up the limited edition version (extra char, making of stuff)
- about 7 hrs into it (should be around a 22 hr game)
- if you loved KOTOR you'll love jade empire
- great characters, great story so far. Instead of light/dark you have open palm or closed fist philosophies.
- graphics and 5.1 sound are very good. it's the kotor engine.
- real time combat. it's not a button masher but more strategic. Easy to pickup up but still deep.
- You can change difficulty at any time during the game.
- save anywhere (except during combat). Save times are quick. Load times are kind of long. Looks like unlimited save slots.
- no real inventory management. spend more time exploring and fighting and less time in the menus!
- lots of dialog all of it spoken. Pretty good voice actors.

This game is now at the top of my must finish list.

I bought this game at Fry's last weekend (for cheap) and I'm about 14 hours into it and I love this game. The story I think is much more involving then in KOTOR and the environment is excellent. The two Ways... open hand and closed fist are not neccessarily good and evil, but the your enemies... they really are evil
