Shenmue

Shenmue 2 not so much?!

Whatever problems Shenmue 1 had, Shenmue 2 fixed. You didn't have to wait around for an appointment (you could just skip the time required to wait), you were in a city that felt alive with a TON of people (and this is before GTAIII), and you could freakin man your own concession stand.


You could freakin man your own concession stand.
 
Whatever problems Shenmue 2 had... Yakuza fixed...

Playing YAKUZA 2 right now...

How about a game of Lucky Hit?
 
I want to go to Hong Kong.

Shenmue 1 was great...but I think I spent more time playing those minigames at the bar than playing the actual game. It was a great concept, but it lacked something.
And that race at the docks was retarded.

At least the final scenes (with the massive combat) was great.

my beef with shenmue 2 was that it was not as detailed as shenmue 1 (you couldn't open up EVERY closet or walk into any store), and the end of the game was super lame and rushed. The fight against wolf, that fat guy, and that building with the planks totally took away from the experience. It totally took away from the realism the game was trying to achieve.

I still loved 2 to death, but i can put 1 above 2 and not think about it twice.
