    I miss it too, one of my favourite games of all time! I still have Shenmue 2, but it's no where near as good as the first.

    Amazing it was. However, I could never find a copy of Shenmue 2 for the Dreamcast. And being the Xbox, and now general console, hater that I am, I couldn't get it for that either. It pains me =(

    I have a sealed copy of Shenmue 2 for some reason. Is it worth cracking open now, or should I just keep it sealed?

    I can say with a lot of certainty that I won't play I or II unless III is announced.

    That's pretty much exactly it. I don't want to play the first two, then burn inside when I can't finish it.

    wow i started this topic in 08 huh? thats... nuts. I still think about this game from time to time. It was this and Metal Gear Solid that turned me into a "hardcore" gamer. nothing has ever touched the magic of playing this and MGS for the first time. maybe a few have come close a few times. but nothing has transported me into its world as much.
