Hands On: Shenmue II

[Ric]

Well I have seen the video and the graphics are of the exact same standard as the Dreamcast version from what I can gather. Not surprising really since Shenmue is the most graphically superb game on the market IMO.

There are points of game slowdown and you cant see people and objects in the distance, they kinda fade in on the Dreamcast version. The X-Box will probably go some way into remedying this I would imagine.

Graphics and sound
Shenmue II looks better than its Dreamcast incarnation, but not enough to make it really next-gen. The game looks good, but could have done more with the power of Xbox. The music remains incredible within the game and from what little was heard of dialogue, it seems the voice-overs won't be as stiff as the original.

Twat, thats bias fanboy crap IMO. Disagree if you wish but I think that is a completly stupid comment. I agree however that the voice acting could be imperoved in places.

Oh and that press release calls Lan Di, Lau (thats a guy from Virtua Fighter) ????
