Hidden gem for xbox
Gameplay: Very Good - The fighting is real time. The only things stopping it from being perfect is the lack of regeneration of chi and focus. Regen. would have made gameplay much better instead of always having to find shrines. Also, in terms of leveling up, new techniques are always being learned/purchased. The inability to movie style points is a shame.
Graphics: Amazing - Good, clean graphics. Check the screenshots.
Sound: Excellent - Bioware's rpg's rely heavily on sound. Jade Empire holds up the company's reputation.
Value: Excellent - This game is a fairly short game, but there is plenty of replay value, as light, dark, and in between.
Tilt: Amazing - This game is very original, with the setting in ancient China. Much like kotor, the entire game revolves around choosing beween light and dark paths. This game is surprising unknown, and much better than an 8.4. Either way, this game is definitely very fun to play and a must-have for one's collection.
