Shenmue II

Recommended Posts

I was up and my EB and picked up Operation C(ontra) and Link's Awakening DX...

 

And found out they have the PAL Dreamcast version of Shenmue II available, and they can hook me up with a disc to play it just fine. However, I've heard mixed feelings about it. I didn't like the first game too much because of how slow things moved. The pace really kept me from enjoying the game, and the constant, annoying detective work turned me off.

 

So, to any owners of the game, either this version of the X-Box version, how have things changed, if any? Would you recommend it to me?

There is much more of a story to this one. Unlike shenmue 1 you actually do stuff in it (pick fights for money, gamble etc). Also Shenmue II introduces Ren, one of the coolest characters of recent times. There are massive QTE sections but they are almost always mixed very nicely with the pace of the game. There is still detective work in the game but its done a million times better than the first Shenmue.

 

 

Also thank god they took out the english voice acting and replaced it with subs.

 

Thumbs way up for me.
