One of the best RPG's released on the xbox by one of the best RPG studios BIOWARE.

If your an RPG fan and you didn't get to play Jade Empire on the xbox, then you owe it to yourself to get this game now.If you don't your seriously missing out.

yeah but buy it 2nd hand off ebay for half the price.

Originals on Live suck.

Superfragilistic5768d ago

Agree Green. Shame it's not the LE, But it's the best RPG on the original Xbox other than KOTOR and Fable. It's also got wicked kung fu combat! ;)

I hope this is a sign of a sequel in the pipeline...

jollygoodchap85768d ago

I hope it comes with the extra content that the limited and special editions came with.

I was a bit disappointed with Fable when it didn't come with the Lost Chapters. I never played the Lost Chapters :(

1stKnighT5768d ago

That sucks. The Lost Chapters was soooooooooooooooooo good. Fable: Lost Chapters is my number 1 game of all time.

GameOn5768d ago

im sure the xbox original was specifically Fable: the lost chapters.
I just bought it on ebay the other day n e way.

ice_prophecy5768d ago

I liked this game. Will be a great addition to the xbox library. I have my special edition pc version on my shelf. :)

If you haven't played this, I really recommend it!

ThaGeNeCySt5768d ago

I loved this game... but even with the hours I spent playing, I was NEVER able to pull off a harmonic combo... I may get this

titntin5768d ago

Brilliant game - but stupidly expensive when the original can be picked up so cheap.

If you didn't try it before, DO try it though. By far my fave RPG on the original Xbox and I'm tempted to play it again! :)

Gorgon5768d ago

I think it was a good game but overhyped because it was from Bioware. If it was from anyone else this game would have never received the accolades it received. Still, it was quite a breath of fresh air in a genre dominated by Elves n´ Dwarves.

BioWare, Where Is Jade Empire 2?

GB: "It does seem that with BioWare being in the spot that they are, where their last two major releases haven’t exactly lived up to expectations, perhaps a big shift in direction is just what the doctor ordered to inject themselves with a new surge of energy and start to turn the page just in time for the new decade. It’s tough to say at this point, but with the Jade Empire trademark being suspended as of April of last year, I wouldn’t suggest anybody start holding their breath for anything major for this game just yet."

It's dead, just like BioWare. Dead.

FallenAngel19841520d ago

You should be asking where their talent went first

Spoilers most of them left the company already

thatguyhayat1520d ago

They've addressed this before, Microsoft owns the IP and its upto them but its better to leave it then make a sequel. The OGs have a new studio and are working on a Sci-Fi game for next gen

AK911520d ago

What new studio are you referring to? I'm out of the loop about this.

Knightofelemia1520d ago (Edited 1520d ago )

They're to busy trying to keep Anthem alive and I doubt EA will fire up an old ip. And on top of that if they did make the game it will probably be as bad as ME Andromeda since most of the talent is gone now leave it to EA to wreck a good company.

starchild1520d ago

ME Andromeda was disappointing, but it was still a pretty good game, IMO. I would rather get another Jade Empire, even if it's only that good, rather than not get another one at all.

TheColbertinator1520d ago

The first question is Where is Bioware?
