Quote: "The best RPG of 2005."
Official Xbox Magazine - UK
Quote: "Not only is Jade Empire one of the best games of the year but it very well may be the finest game for the Xbox platform."
Quote: "Overall "Jade Empire" is a gripping and intense single-player magnum opus. Its rich story, memorable characters and clever combat system make this title a must-have for your Xbox collection."
Quote: "Jade Empire is a new high water line for console RPG titles, and in my opinion is Bioware's best work to date. If you enjoy an engaging story, have gotten into Bioware titles in the past, or have a love of well crafted martial arts tales don't let Jade Empire pass you by."
Quote: "Without the safety net of a big-name franchise, Bioware has created a stunning action RPG, filled with the spirit of Eastern fantasy and wuxia heroism. By any but the most nitpicking yardstick, Jade Empire is a classic."
Quote: " An absolutely excellent game that can be played again and again, no Xbox owner should regret adding Jade Empire to their collection."
Quote: "Jade Empire will stand as the best Xbox RPG, and quite possibly the best RPG to hit this generation of consoles. Play it now."
Quote: "Enthralling and beautiful, Jade Empire melds adrenaline-inducing combat with a compelling RPG structure perfectly."
Quote: "Jade Empire is the new king of Xbox RPGs, and it doesn't look like anything will be releasing this year to top it."
Quote: "As a martial artist I can’t express how much I’m enjoying this game. The styles are spot-on, the conversation is professional quality, the graphics are fantastic, and the storyline is everything you could hope for. Jade Empire has been in development for several years and it shows. While some games simply turn into a shell of its initial concept after such a long development cycle, but Jade Empire has instead realized its potential and is easily one of the best Bioware games to date."
Quote: "This is yet another nod to the fact that Bioware is one of the premiere developers of our time. Jade Empire is not to be missed by any Xbox owner and should be reason enough for any RPG fan to pick up the console."
Quote: "After beating Jade Empire a few times, I can honestly say that it's leaps and bounds ahead of Knights of the Old Republic, the last game from the team at BioWare. Of course, that's really saying something, since KotOR was many people's choice for Game of the Year in 2003."
Quote: "Jade Empire features a complex and interesting storyline, a number of great characters, an impressive presentation, and plenty of replay value."
Quote: "[Combat is] exceptionally deep and highly customizable to every player's preference..."
Quote: "...an innovative, emotional, and visually arresting gaming experience that shouldn't be missed."
Quote: "There's enough imagination, wonder, replay value, and humor packed into Jade Empire for three games."
Quote: "Jade Empire is one of the finest games around, RPG or not, and it will certainly be mentioned in Game of the Year discussions in December."
Quote: "...you should know that this is as close to perfect as we've ever reviewed a game. Jade Empire is the Role Playing Game to own on the Xbox, the best game on the Xbox period, and probably one of the best games released in the last 5 years."
Quote: "Let us be the first to tell you, that this game was not only worth the wait, but personifies and defines the aspects of every great martial art movie that we have ever known and loved."
Quote: "Graphically Jade Empire sets the scene well – whether it is the beautiful water falls and rolling countryside or the amazing monsters you are set to fight the graphics are tight and the Chinese mystical theme is carried through everything. If you are looking for an adventure in a strange and mystical land then Jade Empire could be the game for you."
Quote: "[Jade Empire] strikes a most pleasing balance between narrative, destiny-shaping conversation, stat-tweakery and all-out kicking of butt."
Quote: "Jade Empire scores because it takes a good, under-represented setting, mixes it up with a new improved way of fighting, and everything we've come to expect from BioWare games: humour, imagination, fine music and graphics, and quality gameplay. Hard to believe, but in Jade Empire, they've outdone themselves again."
Quote: "Jade Empire is an incredible martial arts adventure. With enough combat depth and Eastern mythology to satisfy the most demanding gamer, as well as some of the best graphics and sound ever to appear on the XBOX, this is one adventure that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!"
Quote: "Jade Empire could very well draw a whole new contingent of gamers to the RPG experience. It's much simpler and more accessible than many games in the genre while still being deep enough and challenging enough to satisfy most veterans."
Quote: "Playing Jade Empire is like starring in your own ass-kicking kung-fu movie. You don't play this game; you steep yourself in the Chinese mythology and the epic hand-to-hand brawls."
Quote: "Well, add this to the early Game of the Year contenders. I don't just mean Xbox game of the year, or RPG game of the year. I mean the whole thing. This is the type of game that will simply suck days out of your life while you're playing it, and forgetting about the rest of the world around you."
Quote: "Jade Empire is an RPG of the highest quality. Everything is done well from the tip of your top knot to the soles of your butt kicking shoes."
Quote: "Jade Empire is clearly a forerunner for game of the year and shall have players hooked for several play throughs."
Quote: "BioWare outdoes itself again. Jade Empire is imaginative, accessible, beautiful to look at and incredibly immersive to play."
Quote: "Overall, Jade Empire is a wonderful game that Bioware, and gamers everywhere, should be proud of."
Quote: "Visually Jade Empire is a striking masterpiece, presenting luscious visuals, vibrant colour schemes and an over-saturated style that is both understated and dreamy."
Quote: "Jade Empire is an awesome game. There's incredible depth, high production values, and a story that starts out rather generic, but turns into a flat-out epic. What more could you ask for in a game?"
Quote: "Its simple, yet challenging gameplay is amazing for RPG players and can even pull in gamers from other genres."
Quote: "Jade Empire evokes the richly colored, ornate style of films like "House of Flying Daggers." The game has little humor, but it's lots of fun. The interactive story is like reading a good comic book or graphic novel. The combat is challenging at times but not maddeningly difficult. It's a relaxing, entertaining game that will engage you for hours."
