Good old-bioware game

The sales pitch for the game was that you'd be able to play as kung-fu heroes like Jackie-chan and they completely delivered on it.. The writing is solid, definitely haven't seen some of the story beats in other rpgs. The combat can be intuitive if you let it (though you can end up fighting the camera alongside your enemies) and through a 30-40 hour gametime you are getting that near constant reinforced feeling of your character getting stronger. It could've used a few more months of development but that is the way of these kinds of games especially bioware games. Weakest part is how rushed certain story beats feel and I will spoil it right now but you get a fast travel option but only two locations to travel to. It's not to say that the story doesn't feel like it wraps up but it genuinely could've used 1 to 2 chapters extra to make certain characters get more of a limelight. It's usually cheap enough to warrant spending money on for what I think is a pretty solid experience.

What's the story?

I asked quite a few people. All share the opinion that it's a great game but no one ever remembers the storyline. And why should they? It's something about Kung-Fu and that's really all that matters. Dead master, hero on a rescue mission. The gameplay is gread however. It's not my favorite of all Bioware games but it was fun to play, also the scenery is excellent.

Great game, way too short.

I agree with everyone else here who says this game is a great game when talking about the story. Though it seems a lot of players are overlooking the fact the game is extremely short. I owned this the day it came out. I beat it the day it came out. This game is still one of my favorite stories, but it is also one of those games I wish I had never bought at release. Which is an odd thing to think during that time period when games mostly had large playtimes.
