Overall, I enjoyed Jade Empire: Special Edition. I didn’t love it, but I liked it. I think the game does all of the things you want to see in a role-playing game -- it tells an interesting story, it gives you options in quests, it looks nice, and it rewards exploration -- and it succeeds despite its origins and the developer’s choice to leave in the clunky menu-driven interface and to overly restrict the camera. I encountered no bugs of any consequence in the game (which is pretty rare these days for any game, let alone a role-playing game), and the 30-hour campaign has enough options to it that you might want to try playing it twice.

I think Jade Empire: Special Edition has a lot of parallels to Fable: The Lost Chapters. Both were developed for the Xbox and then made their way to the PC. Both have sub-par, console-style interfaces. In both you control a single character and use roughly the same control schemes. And in both the emphasis is on story and quests rather than on character development options. My guess is that anybody who enjoyed Fable would also enjoy Jade Empire, and Jade Empire should also appeal to the less twitchy-fingered players of role-playing games.
