This game is why I want an XBOX |
| tuna from New York says (27/Dec/2002): |
If you know me which probably none of you do then you know I love Final Fantasy and would buy a system just to play (example: I bought gamecube for when Final Fantasy: CC comes out). Anyway I bought a dreamcast awhile back and bought Shenmue because I heard it was alright...well my friends alright didn't describe it. It was one of my favorite games just falling short of the ff series. So when I heard 2 wasn't coming out for Dreamcast but XBOX I was pissed. I had bought a PS2 and Gamecube but didn't want an XBOX because all it had was Halo. Then I played Shenmue 2 at a friends house and I have two words; GOT DAMN (thats right "GOT" Damn not GOD DAMN but GOT DAMN) This game owned. I may buy a XBOX just for this game.

TRUST ME, SHENMUE FANS, RENT IT FIRST! |
| Graham from NYC says (27/Dec/2002): |
This game has no graphic improvements. Horrible gameplay. You can't even attack unless in battle scenes. It's okay in the beggining,but new types of QTE battles destroy the game. I know you Shenmue fans want it, but rent it first. Then decide.(Slow simulation isn't so cool.

Just Awesome! |
| Marijn van Latenstein from Omaha, USA says (2/Dec/2002): |
I just cant believe how good the game is. I mean, its like real life. your bag gets stolen, you meet people and talk to them, and you need to get a part time job. So all you people who dont like this game, DONT PLAY IT THEN!!!

A Solid Sequel |
| Cool Topaz from FT Stewart, GA says (1/Dec/2002): |
Shenmue 2 did a great job of picking up where Shenmue left off. I don't know where these "16 bit" comments came from. I guess some people are just a little too uneducated. If you beat Shenmue 2, then you saw screenshots from the Saturn version. That was 32 bit, and compare that to Shenmue, or Shenmue 2. Big difference!! I don't even think the PS2 could've pulled it off so well, and yes I have a PS2 and an XBOX. Sure the graphics didn't get a major overhaul, but Yu Suzuki found what he likes and he's sticking with it. It is all supposed to be one big game anyway. Why would you want the end of the story to look so different from the beginning? My only concern is which console will the rest be on? Doesn't matter I will get whatever it is. Yu Suzuki will make the right choice, let's just hope he doesn't let it die. I was fretting the time when Shenmue 2 was over, and now I can't wait for the rest. This game is deffinitely for more mature gamers that really appreciate games, and aren't just looking for the prettiest one. Great graphics don't make a great game. Don't get me wrong, Shenmue graphics are great, and yes they could've been better, but if you have really played the game, then you know it is the story that has you wanting more. If you just rented it, and played it for a short while, then thank goodness you didn't keep someone else waiting too long to rent it that really understands what games are about!!

ADDICTIVE!!!!! |
| TaoLishao from Monterey Park California USA says (28/Nov/2002): |
Who ever thinks this game sux has BAD TASTE IN GAMES!! I mean, shenmue 1 & 2 are the best RPG game ever! of course, it isnt RPG...its fighting, adventure, action,...this all comes out in one form. F.R.E.E. yu suzuki has created a new kind of game. this game has great graphics, great music, great gameplay, and great lastability. both shenmue1and2 have many easter eggs that u can find out. (easter eggs meant by secrets). spend yr money on this and this would last you a life time(exageration, it wont last 4ever but the story will) speaking of story, shenmue has a great story that will leave you entranced in its tale of love, hatred, and morals. i cant put this in words, find out for yourself. (^^)

A great game for a great system |
| Dan from Midland says (22/Nov/2002): |
I think Shenmue 2 really did what it was supposed to. It took a lot of the attention off of talking to endless amounts of ladies about a "Black Car" and more about the development of Ryo and his martial arts training. Everyday you must complete lessons taught to you by someone at a temple and after that you can abuse that power by betting on yourself at a rooftop streetfight. The story is deep just like the first but it focuses more on Ryo and not so much on his father.

Good game |
| Shenmue fan from Japan says (17/Nov/2002): |
"16 bit graphics and completely linear game play" Yes, as a matter of fact games like Shenmue 2 were played on the Genesis, or whatever 16 bit system for that matter.
|
What were they thinking? |
| M Duncan from Fort Gordon USA says (11/Nov/2002): |
Besides the 16 bit graphics and completely linear game play, I guess it isn't that bad. Well, it is. I just paid 7 bucks to rent it for 5 days, and I'm going to return it asap. Anyone who wants an honest review, believe me, save your money.

the best out there |
| Dustin Delsignore from levittown, ny says (7/Nov/2002): |
Shenmue 2 is the best game out right now. It is much better then the first, and i thought the first was great. I love this game and it keeps getting better and better as i play. Thank you Shenmue creaters.

just what shenmue 1 fans need.... |
| Blunt_Burner from Norh Carolina U.S.A says (1/Nov/2002): |
I didn't think they could top Shenmue 1. I was a hardcore fan of that game. It was the best game for the dreamcast that I thought. I have played many games and this has to be my favorite right next to Final Fantasy 7. I thought that they had alot to live up to since #1 was so good and they did what they set out to do. This is a must have or a XboX owners.
