atlast some more news on shenmue 2x, first of all its been annouced on the official shenmue web site that it will come in english speech, did you like the japanese speech on the dc?, well dont worry you can toggle between english and japanese adding some much needed reply value.
Second up is that it will be at E3, only its in the microsoft both and not sega's, and thats how people thought it wasnt going to be there, they kept looking at segas list!.
Well already ive decided to buy it dispite having it on the dc the improved graphics and the english speech(hopefully with the same guy doing Ryo from the original shenmue), but still no word on its release date.=!¬}

from the shenmue point of view I wouldnt mind if shenmue went multi-platform i.e ps2, gc and xbox, becuase then more people would be able to sample the delights of shenmue, it annoys me to kno end that no-one else i know has played shenmue becuase they didnt own a dc.
But from my point of view sega better release all future shenmues on the xbox, i didnt buy the huge black beech to play the ob1 game...damn it!!

no one? i thuought so. shenmue II was great, but i completed it far too quickly - playing the first game meant that i breezed through it in under 10 hours easily, maybe less. i spent most of that time earning money by fighting though.
i think that the japanese voices made it more authentic, but it also decreased the hilarity value.
i mean, when ryo bought something in the original, he said "this" and "ahh" when they offered him a lottery ticket.
i was dissapointed by the end of shenmue II though. the entire last disk was so so boring and uneventfull. you just walked and walked and talked and talked and picked up some twigs and found a sword. then the story takes a really weird turn. i was hoping for more fights in a cage with a guy who keeps going back on his word to only have one round. oh well

I prefer the Japanese voice-overs, but I don't think the English voices were that bad - well apart from the endless "I see" moments.
