Customer Rating:      Summary: Shenmue rocks Comment: I personally love this series. I played Shenmue for the dreamcast and enjoyed being able to run around Japan to search for clues. Shenmue 2 starts in Hong Kong. I enjoyed running from place to place getting part time jobs, playing the street gambling games,etc. This game is not just all running around and games but you also get to use your karate to defeat people in your way. But even if you do not want to complete the game there are many side quests and games to play such as arm wrestling. If you do not like games where you have to sit down and think about where to go then I would not recommend this for you. But if you like solving mysteries and beating up the bad guys, I would recommend this game.
The only disappointment is that it looks like Shemnue 3 will never be released.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A real sleeper hit Comment: For those of you that havent heard about or played this game, you are seriously missing out, this is the most fun game I have ever played, its got old school controls but the sweeping storyline makes up for the bad camera control, and the amount of detail in each character and place, you can walk through hong kong! Its a martial arts RPG that just screams re-playability. Hell, after the first time i beat it I started a new game right away.
You litteraly fall in love with the beautiful graphics and epic story of a young man that struggles with revenge for the death of his father.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY THE FIRST ONE TO ENJOY SHENMUE 2!!!!!
Just pick this game up and give it a shot, garunteed the first 5 mins will captivate you and rope you in!
Customer Rating:      Summary: BEST GAME EVER Comment: BEST GAME EVER AND I WOULD NOT MIND HAVING SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH JOY
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great RPG, the only kind I'll play. Comment: This was a great RPG game. This is the only kind of RPG I can play. I really don't like most other RPG's requiring you to learn a new language, fight every other scene, etc. etc. Its like playing Starwars, without any weapons. (I hated all the Starwars movies!)
I do, though, enjoy this type of game though! I love the games that give us a beautiful, well known city as the backdrop (Max Payne, Fear Effect 1 and 2, Spiderman, Shenmue 1 and 2, etc.)with a great mix of gameplay, and exploration. This is my favorite type of RPG style game.
I give this game two gamer thumbs up!!! Awesome!!!

Customer Rating:      Summary: One of the best gaming experiences i have ever had Comment: At first i was unsure about this, but after playing the first game on the Sega Dreamcast i was hooked. The game is simply huge, there is so much to do and see and the story is very engrossing. Of course you don't have to follow the story. The game gives you the chance to explore the vast city and indulge in such past times as darts and even gives you the chance to play some of Sega's classic arcade titles. This game won't be to everyones taste however, it can take up alot of your time and moves at quite a slow pace. So anyone looking for fast paced action look elsewhere this game requires alot of patients. This being a convesion of the original Dreamcast game, the graphics do look slightly dated and the voice acting is terrible. Still if like me these things don't bother you that much and your after somthing with an epic feel then i highly recommend this game, but if shooting things and big bangs are your thing then i think you would be much better off sticking with the Grand Theft Auto games. But if your willing to open your mind, you might find yourself hooked just like i was.
