Shenmue 1 & 2 is still much better than over half of the crap released these days.

@Relugus It's easssy to make money in shenmue 2, the crate lifting sucks but its very easy to avoid!

@ronnipalooza Shenmue 1 has fun jobs (the fork lifting is fun, crate lifting is alas not), and its smaller setting does give it a certain charm. On the other hand Shenmue 2 has richer characters and story; its much less cheesy and the supporting cast is much stronger; Ren, Xiuying, Joy, Fang Mei, Jianmin, Dou Niu, etc. Shenmue 2 is visually an amazing leap over its predecessor, with amazingly detailed textures. But in its greater scale it does lose some intimacy.

Just finished my marathon of both. Shenmue chapter 1: An experience like no other. Shenmue chapters 2-6: A fun game devoid of the charm of chapter 1. As much as I hate to say this, whether intended by Yu Suzuki or not, the original far exceeded the successor in charm, development, and execution. Great games none the less, yet the ambition of the story as a whole may be too great for a game. Think of the charm Dobuita or the harbor compared to Aberdeen or Kowloon and you'll see.
