and nothing can ever replace the feeling of realism you feel in Shenmue I.
Shenmue II even though similar, doesn't exactly have the same feeling in Shenmue I.
In Shenmue II, it does have bigger environments, but most of the stores,
buildings, rooms and shops, such as the stores in Golden qr. are always closed,
and there wasn't really many houses that Ryo could knock on.
In Shenmue I, practically every store was open,
some places such as the Russiya China shop, was closed for a while, and Shenmue I there were many houses and apartments and you could find out where most people live.
Also, in Shenmue I, all of the NPC's were all unique and each has his/her own biography.
In Shenmue II, some characters have biographies, but not all.
So I just have to say that in Shenmue I is more better than Shenmue II in most areas, and vice-versa.
But I still like Shenmue I more.
Some NPCs in Shenmue II, to me, always seemed the same for some reason.


agree to the above

shenmue 1 just has it really
and nozomi added a love interest which s2 lacked. and a humurous twat in fuku-san. and the house. and gui zhang, the coolest guy to appear in the series. basically. shenmue1 rocked

Very close call, but I'd say 2. It just seems to have more to offer, more action, more progression story-wise and more area to explore.

I'd say Shenmue I is better, for me it is the start of the saga and the realism is great. The main reason i didn't vote for Shenmue II was because it sarted to go into fantasy towards the end of the game, but then Shenmue II has the best scene without a doubt, you know the one where Ryo sees Lan Di hanging from the chopper, that is a truly memorable scene. Too hard to choose but i'll go Shenmue I.

1 still has more charm.

Shenmue II doesn't have the same community feel to it. Besides, the world is so big that you spend most of your day just trying to get from one side of town to the other. There's no time to just stop and stare.

I actually thought that he was back and started this topic. Untill I looked at the date when someone said that he just got the game...

It sure is. After trying to get all the way up there, fighting Dou Niu, seeing Xiu Ying's advice during the flashback there. And then Lan Di shows up, just amazing.
