User Rating: 8.8 | Shenmue II XBOX

You have probably seen some pretty glowing reviews about this game, and at the same time some pretty scathing ones. Let me say this first, the Shenmue series you either love with a passion or hate with every fiber of you being.
Unfortunatley is you like closure(like the rest of the world) you will be dissapointed, as the ending is somewhat of a cliffhanger, and shenmue 3 may never be made, although Shenmue Online is a flicker of hope that sega me ressurect this series.
And to the guy who compares this to GTA, Shenmue was around a good year or two before GTA became popular.
