I played it when I was really into a lot of Wuxia (I think that's the term) films, mainly ones involving Yuen Woo-ping and/or Jet Li, and really liked it.
The combat wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed the journey and twists. Gameplay-wise, it's probably quite 'accessible' compared to KOTOR or ME1.
I actually quite feel like playing it (and watching those films) again, so I might see if it works on 360 or grab a cheap PC copy.
