Was it on the Dreamcast, the MegaDrive, GameCube, or are you one of those very few who actually own a SEGA Saturn??
Or have you had a good-ol' time with SEGA in the Arcades maybe?
Whatever SEGA game you've played, whatever SEGA format it's on, just name it here - and add wether or not you enjoyed it.
Remember: SEGA Console Games ONLY!
We don't want this one to be like Cooky's thread! ;)
Juts out of interest, in your version do the characters have English or Japanese speech?
Just like in the first game, this one has finnished at a point when the storyline is REALLY getting going after all the questions and confusion have been answered.
I really cannot wait for Shenmue III!!! Even if I do have to buy an X-Box for it. No doubt i'll be playing through both these games again though sometime soon.
Now I don't know what to play on my Dreamcast...
I still have quite a bit to do on Sonic Adventure though, and I haven't yet unlocked that Bike on Crazy Taxi either. They should keep me occupied for a while, along with my GameCube.
But it's just not the same without Shenmue. :'(
I was so annoyed when I realised you had to get all the way to the 17th floor... BY FOOT! I couldn't believe it! But it was cool being chased by the chainsaw-lovin' Yuan (the man-woman thing), and leaving her behind thanks to some nifty QTE work. The QTE parts made the 17-floor-climb fun, interesting, and exciting. Without it, it would've sucked.
I must admit that I hated fighting that guy with the white make-up - and I thought he was Lan Di in costume or something at first. Such a persistant so-and-so...! But was I ever glad when I beat him, FINALLY, after about 5/6 attempts! :)
Then there was the enormous Dou Niu - I REALLY wanted to see him try and walk across one of the planks of wood!! :D
He was actually quite hard to beat, but I was glad to finally do it in the end. That last QTE at the end caught me out though. :(
Shame Lan Di didn't jump-down to try and get the Mirror from you, I was waiting for that to happen.
But what's with all the Matrix-style Agents??
They were too-easy anyway! :)
I like how Disc 4's started though, nice and easy, while also a little boring and repatitive at some times. I expect more to come though, as I sadly edge towards the end of my Shenmue adventure, anticipating the 3rd adventure in this fantastic movie-like story.

Try:
www.classicvideogames.co.uk
I know they have Shemue II, Headhunter and Crazy Taxi 2 available - Brand New too! Don't worry, there's nothing dodgy about them.
I recently brought Shenmue II from them, and it arrived in mint condition, brand new, un-touched, and within only a few days too.
Only problem may be the prices, but that depends on your opinion.
Shame SR don't sell these games anymore. :(
This is by far the best FPS on the DC. I also have Quake III and Unreal Tournament. I only play Quake III online when none of my mates are availaible for Outtrigger. Now if it was on-line it would be kick A***.
DC still the going strong.
and STILL playing crazy taxi!
anyone got crazy taxi 2?. is it worth getting?

JSRF was the main reason I bought an XBOX. JSR on the DC is one of my favourite games too.
JSRF is a huge game, and I wasn't lying when I said it took me 60 hours plus to complete and unlock everything. It took Mantis (JSR fan in the Xbox forum) 45 hours, but I think he was peeking at a walkthrough.
The story mode is definately longer than the original JSR, but what takes the bulk of the gametime are the excellent *Street Challenges* where you have to complete 6 trick/exploration-based challenges in each area.
And to unlock every skater you've got to get a JET rating on all the Time Trials.
If you're a fan of the first game, and you have the money, it's definately worth buying.
Personally I think SEGA should've released it on the GameCube. On the XBOX it hasn't sold very well. I'm sure it would sell by the lorry-load on the GC.

You might have persuaded me to buy an X-Box there, Nomad. Jet Set Radio on the Dreamcast is one of my favourite games EVER. I was just disappointed about the fact that I completed it far too quickly. But if Jet Set Radio Future has as much to unlock as you say it does, then it might be time for me to shell out on an X-Box and a copy of JSRF.
