Jade Empire: Special Edition

A neat classic BioWare game. It has morality systems like in Mass Effect and extra difficulty level after the first completion, so replayabilty is a great aspect of this game. Lore is fun to explore and characters are pretty interesting at times. Combat isn't as fluid as you would like it to be, especially at early stages of the game, but you can combine different fighting styles and debuffes for cool combos. Overall a fun experience if you don't mind the dated graphics.

One of my favourite games ! The only disadvantage is the lack of modern textures but it s fun ol the game . I hope to see it remastered .

I ended up hitting a game stopping bug. At the end of the first chapter there was this gateway to the next that was meant to have been unlocked, it didn't. That meant no further progress possible. Looking at other reviews these kind of game killing bugs happen all the way through it. So it isn't really worth bothering with. But up until it did breakdown it seemed an average game of it's genre, not as bad as some of the 1-star reviews would suggest...... but until it's fixed (which it won't be - come on, Bioware are still going to be updating this? Don't think so!) it isn't worth even starting, let alone buying.

This game brings me back to the feeling of the old Bioware, KOTOR 1 and 2 included. This gives me all of the feels of being a child in middle school, staying up late, playing on the weekends trying to get the most open palm/closed fist as i could all by chapter 2 and lost in time having so much fun. I miss these feelings an ARPG can bring, albeit with a little jank here and there, character and substance with a fantastic world is what BioWare used to be.

This game has lag/stuttering problem because it was made for 30 fps on xbox and not 60 fps for pc. You can set this game to run on 30 fps by changing ClampFPS= to 0, in the file jadeempire.ini, you will still having lag/stuttering issues some places in the game. It is a good game, the reason i give it 2 stars is bad port from console to pc.
