I think the only people who will not like this game are people who are into non stop action and when they are not fighting and shooting think the game is "boring". If you are not one of those people, I think you will love this game. It's so immersive you feel like you are in Hong Kong. There's just so much to do, you develop a whole life. Time progresses, day falls into night, it's so real that it just pulls you in.
Great Game!!!

Shenmue 2 is one of the best games you can buy on the Xbox. It is the sequel to one of the best games on the Dreamcast. Shenmue 2 is one of the reasons i bought an Xbox.It has a lot of action and a great story, and has Virtua Fighter style fighting.
A real sleeper hit

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!
Shenmue rocks

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.
