Heh! Thank-you very much!

Wrong.
i seem to remember playing Mario 64 wondering around for something to do, good old shenmue had a STORY but you could follow due to your key stage 1 reading level.
anyway enough ninty haterz, and why are the reading a post to a game they don't like duh
anyway shenmue was cool and i never completed the second coz i found out it was gonna continue on another console so the story should still be a surprise. should look great on x box.
i loved the origianl and the second had the cool fighting.
but if you didn't have a brain or like a good story that aint about some dumb plumper then you wouldn't like it ;)

Don't worry about it, I wasn't offended. In fact, I did think it was a joke (why else the sudden hostility?) and was merely defending my reasons for disliking Shenmue. Admittedly though, it seems a game that takes getting into, which I did not have time to do.

Too true. However, there are some things that are factual. For example, when people call Grand Theft Auto 'mindless violence' (I'm not referring to you, just certain people I've talked to), it's just not right.
