Jade Empire finally came to PC earlier this year (2007) after being released for two years on X-Box (2005). Unlike other console to PC ports, Jade empire plays smoothly and the controls feel natural. The story is based in a fantastic and mythical China (called the Jade Empire in the game) and the fighting and many elements of the game borrow heavily from the wuxia (pronounced wu-sha) genre of movies, books, and theater. As an action-role playing game based around martial arts and magic, the environment is unique and compelling - I know I couldn't stop playing until I finished the game.
You can start with a built-in character (3 female and 4 male models are available to chose from). You can use their base abilities or adjust them to fit your style. There are three main attributes to adjust: Body, Spirit, and Mind. Body affects your health (hit points), Spirit affects your Chi (magic or mana), and Mind affects your Focus (weapon wield time and Bullet Time).
