I have just purchased this highly rated game and was wondering if anybody has played it yet. It it is a fantasy/martial arts based RPG set in ancient China, which I think sounds awesome.

I will mate, though I am slightly concerned that nobody else has got it because I was under the impression that this was the game that everybody had to own this year.

well you're either riding the crest of a new trend or you've been sadly misinformed!

I always think that it his hillarious how much hype games get. You go out and buy it. You play it. It is very poor. You read a follow up review in the next months computer magazine. It scores really low. You are devastated.

I've noticed some games magazines are led bythe publishers anyway.
If the publishers throw enough money at a magazine you'll be amazed how many negative reviews become more positive.....

how is this game anyway - I've heard it's good but never played it (as I am x-boxless so to speak...)

Hey lace I have been considering buying Jade Empire, is it any good and do you think it will take long to complete. As you know some games are just too short.

I don't think that it will take too long to complete. However, with multiple endings and a story to follow it could take as long as you'd like.

Hey guys,
I have bought and completed the game Jade Empire, and i must say though it didnt take that long to complete the game in my eyes is amazing. The story line is gripping and will get you hooked as soon you start.
I guess the game does make up for being quite short because you can for example follow the way of the open palm, complete it then follow the way of the closed palm though i havent done that... Overall the game is great and is a must buy. you wont be dissapointed

I got it, but havent played it much yet.
Looks good though.

I bought this game yesterday (finally got my hands on an xbox).
Haven't progressed too far in this yet, but already it's looking good.
The combat is surprisingly easy to pick up and deal with

Also picked up Halo 2 & Fable so I'll have a stab at them too at some point

Fable is good. You can flirt with any woman and marry them. Incredibly big game.

Jade Empire is really good, and I like the Tekken style fighting rather then Turn Based fighting (like in Final Fantasy)

Winters_Sorrow

I'm finding the accent of Whisper a bit annoying already though (erm, in Fable, that is!)

Yeah, wait until you get the guy (Not Maze, a different guy cant remember his name) talking to you in your mind his voice echos and it is annoying.
