Title: jade empire
Post by: mm on April 12, 2005, 03:41:44 AM

i\'be been watching this title for a while now as the market is RPG anemic lately, and i wonder how much money IGN accepted to write its bloated review.

8.4

Eh.. I thought the difference was funny, too.  Either way, it sounds like a decent game. Have you played it yet?

In case anyone wants some more perspectives:

5/5

Seems to me there are more reviews that fall between Gamespots\'s and IGN\'s review.  Looks to be worth checking out.
