I beat the game. It was a lot of fun playing the evil side :p It took me a shade under 10 hours to complete, so it was pretty short. Hopefully the 2nd one will be longer.

so . . . how does it compare to KotOR?

Kotor had a lot more substance to it. I preferred the combat and overall storyline in Kotor over Jade Empire. However, with that said, Jade Empire still had a good storyline, but I found the combat a lot easier than Kotor. Some of the styles in JE were completely useless (I really only used 2 of them throughout the game). The good/evil system was good as always. Overall, I preferred KOTOR, but I still found JE quite enjoyable.

thanks for coming back with a review :)

i LOVED the KotOR 'story' and party interaction. i HATED the fighting much preferring Oblivion's style of combat.

How does JE compare to KotOR in fighting? like a rpg or a fps?
