Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Well, last night I finally decided to put down GTA Vice City to give Shenmue II for Xbox a try. I'm amazed that it actually managed to pull me away from Vice City for the night. I thought that the original was very good, but even that didnt prepare me for what I've gone through so far. I already know it's going to be quite the battle for my playing time between this and Vice City for the next few months. Has anyone else played any of this game yet for either Dreamcast or Xbox? Did you enjoy it as much as I am so far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leena Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I played it on the DC, but not on XBox... I don't know if they're the same. It's a very good RPG, 2nd best DC RPG slightly behind Skies of Arcadia. I'd probably rate it 9/10 just because I didn't like the music, and they only talked in Japanese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted November 2, 2002 It has a few changes from the DC game. The graphics are a little better, the sound has been improved to support surround sound and all that other stuff, and English voices have been added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I personally see no true difference in the graphics between the DC and the Xbox version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I've got it for the DC, very good game, and Ren is one of the best characters ever. I'm happy that they gave the game subtitles, the english voice acting in Shemue 1 was just plain horrid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted November 2, 2002 Agreed, subtitles is THE way to go with Shenmue, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I've heard from a few of my Japanese friends that the Japanese voice acting is actually much worse than the english is and it just sounds cool because we don't speak Japanese. I've also heard that in Japan people like the English voices better than the Japanese, probably for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted November 3, 2002 I was soooo pissed when I found out #2 wasn't going to be on the Dreamcast. I'd love to play the game, but I don't look to get an X Box any time soon. Part 1 is one of my all time favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
