Has anyone heard about this game? It looks pretty sweet if you ask me. It's coming out for the X-box and being made by Bioware the same ones who made KOTOR. The setting is in a Chinese Mythological setting, where your like some kinda martial arts dude. It's like a RPG, yet all of the dialogue is voiced like KOTOR and your decisions affect the outcome of the story. The graphics are also thankfully improved from KOTOR and the combat is just awesome! It's real-time and I believe you control your character like in a fighting game, which is just plain cool! Sadly, it's only for the X-box and I'm very surprised because of Bioware's past success on the PC. This game has alot going for it and I can't wait!

Heard a blurb or two on it... it's been making the rounds in places like XBox Mag. and GMR.... they even put the trailer/intro in the latest XBox Mag. disk (though I would have liked to have seen some gameplay footage).

You didn't like the looks of KotOR? I thought it looked pretty good.... I thought they captured the Star Wars universe pretty well.

This will be a good game... Bioware has a history of producing strong RPGs... and it's really going to help the XBox out (as did KotOR). I'm looking forward to it too.

edit: since I'm at my Mom's right at the moment, I looked at the videos... the game looks great! Can't wait to get my hands on it..... thanks for the links, Link

The graphic of KOTOR were good, but it didn't push the X-box. I just expected more, I guess.

I can see improvements in the movies for Jade Empire, it indeed looks better (very, very nice).
