With PC gaming struggling to keep up with consoles in terms of sales, this port of Jade Empire may well draw some more reluctant gamers to the format. Let us just hope that this successful port starts an avalanche of quality games that come to the PC at the same time as the console releases, not years later.
And the second is at Thunderbolt Games with an overall score of 7/10:
Gamers who played Jade Empire on the Xbox and enjoyed it will find this re-release rather disappointing. Aside from the improved graphics and load times, there's nothing major to differentiate it from the console version. All of the problems that plagued the original are still present here. However, if you are willing to overlook these flaws (again), it's a satisfying purchase. The people who should be really interested in it, though, are those who skipped Jade Empire the first time around. It's not perfect, but it's a great action game with a unique setting and cast. PC gamers looking for a game that doesn't require an upgrade or a rebuild should definitely check it out while they're waiting for their DX10 video cards to arrive.
