I remember playing this 5 times in a row 7 years ago, looks like I'll have to go back to it again.
In general, it's okay to skip it, in my opinion. It doesn't do anything spectacularly well. It has bad controls, the characters are so-so. Dialog is cheesy. You'll encounter some fun quests and characters. You'll probably see the plot twist coming from a mile away. I'd say that if you are into other BioWare games, you can't go wrong. A bit more action focused combat. I mish-mash of Chinese/Japanese culture. Not overly long, took me 25 hours or so on hardest difficulty. I bought it on the cheap and don't regret playing it. It just won't be anywhere near my favorite games if I ever do a personal top RPG list.In general, do you recommend this game?

Yes,it is one of the few asian themed rpgs/games.Also it is a good action rpg.In general, do you recommend this game?
I tried to play prince of Qin, but the writing is so dog shit I wanted to strangle myself with my own eye cords.Prince of Qin and Legend of Cao Cao are way better Asian RPGs btw.
I heard many people like it, so after seeing your comment I watched it on youtube.The best thing about Jade Empire is the encounter with the European explorer, voiced by John Cleese. You have to beat the guy in a debate just to be allowed to fight him, and he mocks your retarded Asian culture for being backwards and stupid.

It was pathetic. "Debate" on 12-year old level.

It is IMO the least bad of the nu-BioWare games. It's light-hearted, the art direction is consistent and atmospheric, the gameplay isn't so bad it gets in the way, it's not too long, and it doesn't try too hard. It's ... fun. It's almost a shame they went for relentlessly edgy bloodsplash grimdark ever since.
(But if you're looking for a hardcore role-playing experience, look elsewhere.)
