[Lord_Magneto]

I liked shenmue 2 better, had lots of good action, story, and Ren.

[Malik Ishtahl]

shenmue 2 was better because it was longer and had bigger areas and more areas

[Zimingshenmue]

Shenmue I,because it changed my life.

[JAPANFAN]

Shenmue.

No. 2 dragged on and on and on and on in too many areas. Also, the environments were too big. I got lost so many times, it's not even funny.

Well I just got Shenmue 2. I thought nothing could top shenmue 1 but 2 is much better.I just got to kowloon.

[SpringChick]

Shenmue 1. It just has a certain charm. Although S2 was lots of fun, too.

[khien]

Shenmue II. Maybe because I played it first...

[Forklift#5]

Definitely Shenmue I, it's the game that started the series,
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.

[Alsheimer]

Shenmue I

[TeleportMan]
