Jade Empire scratches an RPG itch that is rarely touched with other games. There was something special in the waters back then, they weren't afraid to experiment with new properties. Jade Empire does so much in so little time. It oozes atmosphere from every pore, and fully commits to what is it trying to set out to do. I wish there were more games like this in the world. I replay it every couple of years just to feed the soul.
