Trivia:

Microsoft struck a deal with Sega to have Shenmue 2 to be exclusive to the Xbox in the US. As a result, Electronic Boutique imported the PAL (European/Australian) version of Shenmue 2 for the Dreamcast and became one of the most imported titles in history and is the only import game ever to be sold at Electronics Boutique. As a result of this, the Xbox version only achieved moderate success.

Quotes:

Wuying Ren: [after Ryo beats up the guys that spotted him while he and Ren were intruding in the Yellow Head Building] That's right. Always clean up the messes you make.
Ryo Hazuki: Shut up!

Just as the first

The opening is fantastic, with beautiful real-time graphic scenes, but is not revolutionary. Even with some mistakes and graphic failures, the graphic is excellent with a high grade of details. Women, main characters, motos and children are well designed, with good texture. Can not be said about the men characters. It is as good as the first, maybe better. If SEGA releases it in English, we, owners of Dreamcast, will be happy to continuing play the Saga to achieve it's end!
