Jade Empire is a decent RPG, but everything from the menu design and XP system, to the level design, basic fighting system and graphics absolutely reek of "console port". The only positive coming from this is the fact the game is well suited for control pad use and that the Xbox 360 controller works perfectly without any effort required from the gamer whatsoever, but even then that probably isn't going to appease the majority of PC gamers interested in an RPG. If you can look past the flaws and strong Xbox feel, Jade Empire is definitely a fun and addictive experience, but overall it is perhaps best suited for the casual gamer who prefers real time control than character and general game depth in their RPG gaming. Basically, if you've always wanted to mix the most basic and simplified elements of Fable and Mortal Kombat together, Jade Empire is for you.
