Dissapointing PC port

I liked too much when I played it on XBOX and thought that would be very good playing it on PC but it was really dissapointing the crap port made. It is not a widescreen game but a stretched 4:3 one, unoptimized and mehh graphics. Really dissapointing coming from GOG.

Classic Bioware RPG in a unique setting

A fantastic Action-RPG with Bioware's trademark strong storyline and great NPCs. It beautifully captures the mythic far-eastern atmosphere and has that cool vibe of a classic Kung-Fu movie. Though gameplay-wise, there is some discord between areas designed for exploring/fighting/adventure and areas containing many pure dialog-driven quests - It's still a fun and rewarding RPG which at times rises to epicness and leaved good memories after it's completion.

Unusual take on morality

Jade Empire is sort of re-telling of 1st KOTOR scenario in Far East setting. The missions are eerily similar, albeit placed linearly. Same goes for overall structure: visit several places, confront the main antagonist, wander some more, confront him again. However, Jade Empire has one quality that's very uncommon in modern CRPGs: it does not punish you for playing evil. It even puts there a convenient philosophy of egoism and self-reliance, to distinguish this concept from simply being "evil" as we know it from other games. Not only it does not discriminate based on player character morality, actually for the most part being evil is easier and/or more profitable than being good, exactly the way it plays out in real life. If you look for modern RPG game that let's you really pick your morality, consider this game.

Crashes on launch

Can't play it. Running Windows 7. This crash on launch is a fairly common problem. I've looked up and attempted to apply the solutions, but no dice. Maybe it'll work for you. I got this game for three bucks and change. Had I known about this problem prior to purchasing, I still would have taken the risk, because Bioware is great and the price was reasonable. Just know that you might be throwing away your money.
