Shenmue II is the massive and highly addictive sequel to the Shenmue game in the Dreamcast console. The huge storyline makes this game simply a must have. There's a vast world to explore, where you can talk to every person and discover any part of the area you want. Shenmue II starts directly after Shenmue I with you (Ryo Hazuki) being dropped in Aberdeen, Hong Kong off a ship. The story is simple, Ryo plans to avenge his long lost father. But as the storyline proceeds, the plot becomes more complex. The graphics are great for the Dreamcast. Fantastic details and visual effects throughout Hong Kong. The sound in this game is also brilliant, you walk through the streets and hear the constant street life during the day, and a few people chattering in café's throughout the night. The mini games are also fantastic. Placing bets on a huge variety of games such as darting. All in all, Shenmue is a fantastic game with brilliant graphics and superb sound effects. There are loads and loads of fighting sequences to learn with also fun mini games to kill the time. Shenmue is an also extremely lengthy game that will get you playing for a very long time.
