Don't buy this on Steam
Don't buy this on Steam, buy it here, the Steam Version is bugged and unplayable on a lot of systems. Jade Empire is a Kung Fu Action Role Playing Game with a great cast of characters and a lot of moral decisions that influence the story and ending.

An underrated Bioware classic
If you played Mass Effect or KOTOR, you would have no trouble getting into this game - all of the time-proven Bioware features are present, including character archetype clichés, plot twists you can see a mile away and moral choices that are presented as deep, but are really the same "help the poor or beat them for laughs". Despite that, the game combat mechanics is fun, and the oriental mythology theme really pulls the atmosphere through. If you like Bioware games with solid narrative and Bruce Lee style head bashing, this is just a medicine for you. I would strongly suggest you check out the modding scene for the game, as its combat-oriented design provides ample opportunities for tweaking. One of those is Jade Empire In Style, which re-hauls some of the vanilla combat styles and adds many more, normally unavailable to your PC. This, along with New Game + implemented in the game, allows quite a bit of replayability.

Where is the controller support?
I LOVED this game on Xbox and was excited to revisit it on PC with better graphics etc. I was extremely disappointed that it doesn't include gamepad support, of any kind. I tried playing with keyboard but just couldn't get the hang of it. Very disappointing -- this game was designed for Xbox, it just doesn't play right without a gamepad.

Flawless game from GOG.
I completed this game (Jade Empire) many years ago on Xbox. I really enjoyed it and I must admit, I am not a player fond of RPG games, but the setting and originality of this product completely seduced me. Now, let us speak about the problematic version of other game services... (looking at you Steam). The GOG version is flawless and runs perfectly well in full HD without a stretch. No forum reads or searching for a decade old patch or struggling with my original cds and virtual machines to enjoy older games... Wow, I must confess... The GOG games are a breeze.

Review based off of my first playthrough
This is peak Bioware. You remember peak Bioware, right? Back when they made the most amazing games imaginable. The games that transported you to a new place and a new time and introduced characters and enemies and settings that you're still thinking about 10+ years later? Where did peak Bioware go? Please bring them back, k? Anyway, I loved this game. It filled the hole that KOTOR left pretty nicely for the time. It was an interesting game with interesting lore, fun enemies, and fun companions. The port isn't as good as the original Xbox release was, but I still love this game. The mini games were kinda fun, and I played through it with different moralities multiple times. Basically: If you love KOTOR, you'll love this.
