GOG.com prides itself on being the game company that looks out for the gamers and for releasing DRM free content. At least it used to. It's actually in the section on "Why should you buy from GOG.com?" Because all products are "DRM free and available offline". Apparently it should say, except for this product which is only available through a third party online website that has no guarantees what-so-ever that they won't shut down their servers tomorrow or hike the price or whatever. This is the very definition of DRM! Shame on you. This "content" should be removed immediately. This is unworthy of GOG.com. Shame... Shame... Shame...
I played this game back on the XBox and loved it then. It has an interesting story, memorable characters and pretty fast paced combat. Just what you'd expect from a Bioware game (back before they sold their souls to EA). The dialogue is a little cheesy at times but it doesn't detract from the gameplay or story (and sort of reminds me of an old '80's movie at times, but in a good way). I also like the way the game justifies you being a darker character. In Jade Empire you aren't Good or Evil, Light Side or Dark Side. You are Open Palm, a kind and merciful character who gives of yourself to make the world a better place, or you are Closed Fist, a hard and merciless character who believes that by helping others you make them weaker and unable to help themselves in the long run. I definitely recommend giving the game a shot if you haven't, especially if you can find it on sale. It is worth it.
