	Shenmue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shenmue tree resides in the same small village (Bailu, which is located in Guilin) that spawned both Shenhua and the game's notorious stone mirrors.
		Shenmue was called Virtua Fighter RPG while in early (pre-Dreamcast) development, and this is reflected not only in the VF-like fights and RPG elements, but in the variety of toys and posters relating to that game which Ryo finds.
		Upon completion of Shenmue II, a clip of Shenmue for the Sega Saturn is unlocked, allowing fans to see how the game would have looked had it been released on that system, with most of what became Shenmue II present even at that stage (e.g.

		Shenmue is decent in overall length, but it ends rather abruptly and leaves too many elements of the story unresolved.
		Shenmue is largely set in a small suburban town where everyone is on a first name basis with one another, and the game does a wonderful job of creating distinct personalities and a sense that this is a tight-knit community.
		Shenmue isnt one of those moments in gaming history where the stars and planets are all aligned perfectly to produce something that is a special once-in-a-lifetime experience.

	Shenmue 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Shenmue II is an epic adventure with all the elements of a great moviedrama, mystery, suspense, and action and offers a unique game-playing experience that seamlessly blends elements of action, adventure, fighting, and RPG games.
		In Shenmue II players assume the role of Ryo Hazuki, a young man dedicated to the task of tracking his father's murderer and unlocking the mysteries of the Phoenix Mirror.
		Shenmue II continues where Shenmue I left off and brings Ryo to Hong Kong with many questions still unanswered as he follows the trail of Lan Di, the man who killed his father.

		Shenmue II is the sequel to the Sega Dreamcast Action/Role Playing Game Shenmue, written and directed by Yu Suzuki.
		It is also worth noting that the Shenmue tree resides in the same small village (Bailu, which is located in Guilin) that spawned both Shenhua and the game's notorious stone mirrors.
		Shenmue is also a hard title to recommend to fans of specific genres because this game elevates the term hybrid or cross-genre to all new levels.

		Shenmue II is the second installment of Yu Suzuki's ambitious Shenmue series; a reinvention of the interactive movie.
		While Shenmue II does greatly improve the gameplay of its predecessor, the gameplay is still imperfect, and there remains an underlying tedium to the gameplay that limits its accessibility.
		The opening of Shenmue II demonstrates its dramatic graphical improvements: At the end of Shenmue I, Ryo set sail into the sunset underneath a pixilated, bitmap sky, upon a pristine ocean with no other boats in the horizon.

		When the first Shenmue began, Ryo watched helplessly as a stranger dressed in jade green murdered his father.
		Shenmue II begins with Ryo's boat docking in the port of Amberdeen, Hong Kong.
		This is the same movie that was released in Japan as the Shenmue movie and should help flesh out the story for those new to the series.

		Shenmue was heralded as Yu Suzuki’s magnum opus, his grand achievement, and a testament to his amazing game creation ability.
		Shenmue’s plot revolves around Ryo Hazuki, who comes home one day and witnesses the murder of his father by a mysterious Chinese man named Lan Di.
		The control in Shenmue is somewhat awkward; the digital pad controls Ryo’s movements, and the analog stick controls the camera.

		The ending to Shenmue 2 (which ended with Chapter 5, as Yu Suzuki claimed that the first game was only the first chapter, while each disc in the second game was a chapter in itself...
		As far details go, I'll mention one thing that I liked in Shenmue 2 that had changed from the first game (though it's certainly not the only thing): Ryo seemed to be much more assertive and a badass; the trip to Hong Kong must have taken enough time for his pals to drop.
		Shenmue have 4 parts to the story line, but it's a doubt if all 4 parts will be made into games..

	Review - Shenmue 2 // Xbox /// Eurogamer
		It's well over a year since we were first acquainted with Shenmue 2 on the Dreamcast, the platform on which the mysterious, enigmatic story of young Ryo attempting to avenge the murder of his father was born.
		The snail's pace at which Shenmue 2 seems generally comfortable ambling along, coupled with a completely indifferent-sounding Ryo, means that it's extremely easy to lose interest in the proceedings very early on.
		Shenmue 2 is still a charming and enormous game underneath, with plenty to do if you take the time out to do it; I particularly relished the arcade fighting-for-cash sections, and of course there are emulated Sega classics like Outrun and Afterburner to occupy you in slow times, but none of this makes the game.

	GameSpy.com - Reviews: Shenmue 2 (DC)
		As previously mentioned, Shenmue was often criticized for having lerthargic gameplay.
		Similarly, at the start of a new day, you will often be given an option of a number of different starting locations so you don't have to walk all the way to a certain point just to get back to what you were doing the night before.
		Shenmue II allows you to save at any time in the normal game, as long as you aren't in the middle of a job or plot event.

	Shenmue -- DC -- Five Stars
		Somehow, the world of Shenmue was to be so incredibly interesting that it wouldn’t require a rigid direction, and the gamer would be satisfied just oozing toward the end, like an amoeba.
		Shenmue is a very linear story, and you’ll move through the game basically just like everybody else who plays it.
		Shenmue is not only a bold leap into the future of gaming, but it’s also a good hint of what the future of narrative and entertainment could hold.

		Tacking on a few extra months in development, Shenmue II has been released on the Xbox, and despite some slacking in the porting department, the sequel manages to surpass the original in all regards and make itself one of the finest games to date.
		For those who loved the original, Shenmue II is more of the same, but in a more refined format and presented in a more balanced manner.
		Shenmue isn't for everyone, and since the game still bogs down in some areas, it might not convert those who tried the original.

		Shenmue is the Titanic of the video game industry in terms of production costs.

		While Shenmue II for the Xbox is a solid game that offers some improvements on the Dreamcast version, it will mostly appeal to die-hard fans of the original.
		Shenmue wasn't a commercial success in this country, and its unusual design met with a mixed response, but the game was certainly a showcase for the Dreamcast's technical abilities.
		Shenmue II for the Xbox is clearly a port from a less powerful gaming platform.

		Shenmue was a monster in the sound department back when it released for the Dreamcast, and such is the case with the game’s sequel.
		For most of the time in Shenmue, you will be traveling through the game’s virtual towns, asking people questions that will hopefully lead you to the whereabouts of Lan Di.
		This part of the game was engaging in the original Shenmue, despite the rather emotionless speech by the in-game characters.

	Shenmue (drm: 2000): Reviews
		Voice acting may suck, and some of the diversions may be questionable, but despite all that, Shenmue will envelope you, not through transcendental tripping, but in the spirit of every great game you've enjoyed and had trouble putting down.
		Shenmue may not have been too much fun for yours truly, but it certainly is one of the most memorable to ever come down the pike.
		Yes, there's quite a lot to do in Shenmue, and quite a few people to talk to (hundreds, at least), but long stretches of the game will simply bore you to death with tedium.

		The official Shenmue Muecas site has posted a comment on this which says that it is likely that Shenmue III will be a movie of which there will be no game version.
		Interestingly, one of our old polls on this site asked "If the Shenmue games stopped being made, how would you like the story to continue?" and the answer with the most votes was in fact a CG Movie, which had 33% of the votes, compared to 18% for the next most popular choice.

		This is only a minor compaint however, the fighting is as slick as the previous Shenmue game, with numerous moves (taken from the virtua fighter engine) to master.

		It's notable that even though Shenmue is technically a year old (Japanese version released in stores October 28, 1999), I can't think of any console game that even begins to put itself in an equal class of graphical quality and style with Shenmue.
		Shenmue takes this to the next level where Ryo actually picks up items with his fingers, allowing him to move his hand to examine said objects.
		Shenmue's music is based on the belief that excellent music, while always a great addition to the game, plays a supporting role to a game and only serves to compliment what's being seen.

		Still--and this is the most impressive part--there is an abundance of background noises that correspond to the area you happen to be in such as chattering people at the cafe or the pigeon’s flapping their wings at the local park.
		Shenmue II is a sweeping epic with a story that will hook you with its great characters and Ryo’s transformation from schoolboy to a man with a destiny he cannot comprehend.
		It was also great that they included a DVD of the first Shenmue so first time gamers can be introduced to the characters and the story that lead up to the events of the sequel.

		Shenmue is the handiwork of Virtua Fighter's creator Yu Suzuki and is nothing short of an experience that is easy to become immersed in.
		Let's not forget that this is the most action intensive chapter of Shenmue to date, because you have to beat a number of street fighters in hand to hand combat in order to gain access to the final area of the chapter which involves traversing your way up a skyscraper floor by floor.
		Sure, there would be a Shenmue II coming to the Xbox in the fall of 2002 that would be much better than the Dreamcast version, but a whole year is a long time to wait when the European version of the game was still coming out for the Dreamcast.
