On the whole I agree. It was hyped up as the next step in videogaming, which it clearly wasn't, but I did think it was a brave move nevertheless.

Shemue II is a bit better - Japanese dialogue is a definite plus - because the story flows more easily (and faster). The Hong Kong setting is also a lot more absorbing than the sparse and drab setting of the original game.

However, Ryo is still a self-obsessed pr*ck who doesn't know how to interact with other people, particularly women; you still have to perform get jobs (no forklift this time); the QTEs are more complex and fighting still revolves around button-mashing (at least it does for me, particulary since I wiped my VMU with my Shenmue I save and lost all my fighting knowledge).

I'll admit that greed had something to do with me picking up Shenmue II because as a Dreamcast game it is valued and highly sought after.
