I've always thought of Chinese fantasy as one of the more special arenas within the entertainment world. It's the only place where kung fu, magic and storytelling can be seamlessly weaved together. No game understands this better than "Jade Empire." There aren't too many people jumping on branches or having aerial swordfights over lakes, but Bioware's latest epic firmly places its finger on the essence of Asian mythology. Beneath all the crazy stories and fantastic imagery you'll see is a title comfortable in its own skin.
