More 2K Games reviews , RRP: AU$89.95

The good:

  • Complex story and characters rank among BioWare's best
  • Pretty graphics and superb voice acting bring the game world to life
  • Alignment system is well designed and adds replay value.

The bad:

  • The Bad: Simplistic combat is unexceptional and unfulfilling
  • Limited character-customization options make levelling up unexciting
  • Only a scant few additions over the Xbox version.

The bottomline:

The long-awaited PC version of Jade Empire retains the great story and setting of the Xbox original, but the streamlined combat and core design haven't aged quite as gracefully.
