Jade Empire: Special Edition Review

Boomtown has dished up a review of Jade Empire: Special Edition, giving the RPG an overall score of 8/10.

While two years is a long time and the genre has surpassed Jade Empire’s achievements (in the form of Oblivion, if nothing else), no one makes RPGs quite like Bioware. It is arguable that no game that is directly comparable to Jade Empire in the past two years has been better than it, and that in all probability none will be until Mass Effect is released later this year. The only reason the score has slipped over the period is that it is impossible for a game not to age at all, but for those who didn’t play it on the Xbox, Jade Empire is still a must-have.
