PLEASE RELEASE THIS GAME IN HD FOR PS3 AND XBOX360. Oh yeah I remember now sega prefer doing bad sonic games full of glitch and a yakuza game with zombies (wtf)
The only positive magazine that reviewed this game positively before it's release was EGM, it's to bad the company is suffering from economy now.. I remember when I got a notice from them when I had a subscription and for some reason moved it for FHM
this is the best game i've ever played. shenmue is the only rpg i've ever really liked. i felt a connection because i'm japanese too so i felt familiar with everything about the game. plus the soundtrack is amazing
I never got the chance to play Shenmue back in the day, because I owned a PS2 instead. But I own a Dreamcast now, and I'm going to get this game off of Ebay.
@amari2001 I'm not sure what you mean by Model 2, but unless it's a very late-generation Japanese model, you can probably run backups on it. Even if you buy Shenmue, you might end up having to use a backup anyway. My copy has a bad first disc, so I have to use a burned copy if I want to play through disc one, which really pisses me off since it's one of the few Dreamcast games that I legitimately own.
The flashback scene with Ryo and his father is also in Shenmue 2. I think it was really touching with the music. Both Shenmue games are incredible and really underrated. I hate Sega for releasing a bunch of new and very bad Sonic games, but no Shenmue 3. it makes me really angry.
I can't believe how proffesional gaming magazines and sites bashed this game. it is now the most petitioned videogame in history. a prove how sometimes nearly every "professional" can be wrong...
@drunkensailor112 u said bashed it and they gave shenmue 1 and 7.9 and II is 8.7 which is decent and over all by all sites it has recieved an average of 90% which is good.......when you said this game is bieng bashed you ment it as if they gave it a score of 1 or 2 yet the scores which i am seeing now tell a whole different story.
This game looks amazingly detailed... From actually seeing your character operate a rotary phone to looking at the individually-rendered veins on his hands, little touches are everywhere. It looks just as meticulously detailed as Metal Gear Solid 2. They just don't make games like this anymore.
i like da part in 4:45 where ryo eat da carroit. it reminds me of my dad..but in da other hand he said, "if u don't eat it i will whip yo ass" ha ha ha good time.
Yeah, I've been looking for Shenmue 2 as well. I played the first one years ago and after cleaning the house, I found my Dreamcast stash. Oh, the memories. Part of my wants this to become a live action movie, the other part of me doesn't want to shame it like that.
@Retrogamer71 this game is the second most expensive game ever, next to gta IV, but its a shame that the voice actors really suck on the american version
@derf55509 Don't you have the game? I could never sell it. It certainly feels like a 20 million dollar production when you play over several months through it to the end. I'm sure if you look long enough on ebay you'll find it between 15-35 dollars. To my shame I sold Shenmue II on Dreamcast in favour of the Xbox version. But even that sold for 40 dollars.
@sonic13rocker That's cool, well there's some great titles out there fitting to the Dreamcast's capabilities. I can recommend Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive 2 for fighting games. I got back into gaming through the Dreamcast and now own an Xbox360. I can't imagine what it would be like to own a current gen and go back, but Shenmue is such a refreshing break from all genres its worth owning a Dreamcast to play through once. Don't forget to buy a VGA/Pal 60 adapter either. VGA looks great.
As if beating Shenmue II doesn't leave you hanging?
Play this one and the second one! Keep playing these games! Infact buy two copies to help Shenmue increase profit! If only every person who owned a Dreamcast did that we'd have the third installment.
Maybe it is for the better, you know? Maybe having no closure to the greatest game in existence is a good thing. After all, every good thing must finally come to an end. Let's just be happy there's two games to this great story.
I did it! I'm playing it!Downloaded Shenmue 1 and Emulate it in my pc! I can't believe it!!! Internet has everything amazing! Watching this video made me miss this game so much so i searched like crazy in a way to play it in my pc ;p

That's true, it would just be ending a great thing.
And no one wants to see a good thing just end.
Truthfully I'm not sure if its because enough copies sold, I think its just because it costs to much money to develop each game.
The first game cost $300,000,000 to develop, while the sequel cost $700,000,000!!
Plus, I actually do think that somehow we will see a Shenmue 3, someday.....
