This game is hot. I really don't know why Gamespot.com only gave it an 8.4 its definitely a better game than that. The characters are well modeled, and the rim lighting makes the perfect touch. Its BioWare, they never make a bad game. I think this is a better game than both Kotor games. Now if your a starwars fanatic you may disagree, but i rather do the fighting than sit back and watch it. I guess it all depends on what you rather be, a jedi or a Kung Fu master. I'll take the ladder. I like the diverse styles they really make you feel like you know Kung fu. This is a must have if you like Rpg's, especially since the Xbox doesn't have many. This game is great, every other game site and magazine has and average score of 9 out of 10. I think the guys here at gamespot.com are Starwars fanatics. They are probably camped out at the movie theatre right now, waiting for episode 3. Get off of line and play some Jade Empire. :)
