I do think that Shenmue 2 is better than the first game, the only thing i wasn't so keen on. Was the use of QTE (Quick Time Events), some of the big fights. Would take while to get through (that wasn't the bad part), and finally after getting through the fight. You get a QTE moment, were you have to hit a combination of buttons quickly. That became a bit fustrating on some parts. Especilly how on some parts you had to a hit the same button twice, at first i didn't see that and only hit the button once (RIC YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!).

But overall, the game kicks arse, true story telling in a game. And kicking the crap out of people one after the other is just great fun. I became addicted to this game as much as i was addicted to Z:OoT. I do think the sequel is better then the first game, with more of a sense of freedom, with much bigger envirouments.

It's just sort of strange to think the first and second game is only just the begining of the story (those who haven't completed it, will know exactly what i mean when they do).
