Shenmue II (Import)

"After playing the first Shenmue right through to the end I was excited to get the next chapter in the series a few weeks ago. The reason I have waited so long to review it is I wanted to play through to the end before I did. This marks the last Dreamcast release from Sega and the end of an era and what an era it has been. If you don't own a Dreamcast yet I suggest you go and get one, there are tons of great titles available for $50 its a steal."

"The game offers more expansive environments with more complex forms of architecture than its predecessor... What's struck me the most about the game so far is the sheer size of the world... Shenmue 2 has clearly gone up a few notches, and there's still a whole lotta game beyond the one hour that we've played so far."

"This game is absolutely enormous, dwarfing the previous chapter beyond all possible comprehension, and once it gets going it’s a decent improvement."

"The environments and characters are looking much better in the sequel than they did in the original game... the game will be able to take better advantage of the Dreamcast... will be shorter than the original game, and will feature more adventure elements..."

"...the game further develops the Shenmue plot and provides you with a great level of freedom to explore a vast environment. There are even options to shorten gameplay time, if you desire to do so."
