Jade Empire vs Prince of Persia
Jade Empire
Jade Empire is a martial arts-themed action RPG where you get the freedom to choose to become either a noble hero or a treacherous villain. The game also provides you with a vast open world to explore and a host of interesting characters to interact with. As you play an aspiring martial arts master, you'll have access to a wide range of nicely-animated fighting moves and styles that you can mix and match. While you increase in your proficiency of the martial arts, your enemies' difficulty level will scale up accoridngly as well, so every battle you engage in will be as challenging as the next despite having better gear and skills.However, being a rather old game, the combat sequences may feel a bit choppy and awkward today. The graphics looks weathered as well. And if you want to play this game for its story, you might want to reconsider. Jade Empire is famous for mainly its cool moves and well-made combat system back then, and having a completely original and immersive plot isn't one of the selling points.
That said, there isn't a lot of oriental-themed RPGs out there and Jade Empire happens to be one of the best ones. If you love martial art games, you might want to try this game out.
Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is the whole new action-adventure game inspired by the highly acclaimed platform game of the same name. The game has been upgraded to fit with modern times and tastes - it features a brand new Prince, a non-linear storyline which unfolds , a vast open world for you to explore, various acrobatics, combat styles and skill sets, and even a helpful new AI-controlled ally who possess magical powers, Elika. Prince of Persia is realized in a rather unique art style that makes its illustrations look almost comic-like, much like the graphics in the Borderlands series.Prince of Persia is definitely not the same as its classic counterpart though it does retain many of the core concepts which had made the latter such a hit among gamers back then. The game plays out a lot like Assassin's Creed or any other parkour-oriented games so if you enjoy this sort of games, you'll love Prince of Persia.
