[Jade Empire] Bioware Fu Needless to say, I'm very excited about this game and will probably be picking it up on the drop date, despite it's eerie proximity to the Ides of April, which may or may not commonly be referred to as the day when the government's pockets are filled with money. Apparently, Congress has already planned a party, and Indiana is bringing the beer.
Featuring Bioware's stunning digital arsenal, this game should be full of the kind of gameplay reminiscent of films like Hero and Crouching Tiger. Basically, if it's got a good story and game mechanics, I'm in.
Release Date: April 14
Countdown: 1.5 days

Ten days, just long enuff for me to scrounge up the other 45$ for my preorder! I've been anticipating this game since after I finished Kotor and heard they were making it, it looks very sweet, mostly becasue I already am in love with ancient asain cultures!

I'm pretty stoked about this game. My roommate purchased it for me as an early birthday present. I can't wait to pick it up.

Heh. You're super helpful...
The fighting is real time. The demo I played seemed slightly, just slightly, more then a button masher as far as the combat is concerned. Hopefully it was due solely to the fact you only encounter the lesser minions in the demo.

IGN has given the game a 9.9, which is higher than what they gave Halo 2.
http://xbox.ign.com/articles/602/602787p1.html
Gamespy has given it 5 out of 5 stars.

Yeah, unfortuantely my attention has turned toward this game.... I'll pick it up here after I'm done with Doom3.
Is it worth trying to get the LE? What are the extras/bonuses?

You get an extra character and an extra style. The LE here didn't cost anything extra...

Is the combat as boring as gamespot says it is? I was sooo looking forward to the real-time combat on this game ...

I don't think so...it is a little bit too much button mashing but, what can you do?
