I know this is old but is anyone else playing this? I was hesitant to grab it because a friend of mine said it sucked but I really liked it. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is great. Most people\'s complaints seem to be with the combat system but I didn\'t really have a problem with that. My main problem was the fact that the enemies blocked too much.

I played it all the way through twice. I did one as a good guy and one as a bad ass. Its funny because this is the first time that I felt kind of bad for some of the bad ass decisions I made in a game. [sp]I was trying to get the evil demon to show up in that little girl and the way she was crying and asking me for help made me reconsider for a moment. Also, when I was about to steal the power of the water dragon in the cave under the palace the look on her face was one of the most emotive things I\'ve ever seen in a game. She looked SO sad that I actually felt bad.[/sp] The voice acting is great too. I didn\'t recognize any of the voices(except for Sagacious Zu who sounded like Leonardo from TMNT). The voice talent did some great acting work.

One thing I didn\'t like was the half-assed ending stories for each character. I would have liked more than just some text about what happens to each character but it is more than a lot of other games bother to do.

IMO, If you have an Xbox you should also have this game. I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

I don\'t know. I just did a search and found some interviews from late last year that say it is a possibility.

Definitely a great game.

I still haven\'t finished my closed fist game, but I\'ll see. I tend to not care about other people in the game unless they\'re ridiculously cool or something, so I doubt I\'d mind.

I always play darkside in KOTOR and KOTOR 2 anyway.

As was KoToR, but it was still a great game. So was FF7 and people regard that as a great game. Just because a game is linear, does not mean it can\'t be a great game. Still, I will agree that linear games have less replay value, I mean, how often do you replay Shenmue?

True. Still, my point was a linear game can be fun.

I very rarely do. Infact, the only games I have ever went through more than once or even twice would be CastleVania : SOTN, Super Metriod and Resident Evil: Remake.

Hey guys, when I\'m playing Jade Empire I really wish I can just suddenly turn into a cow and fight the God of War. I should always be surprised.

I also love those Goosebumps books where you decide the outcome by choosing a page to continue with.

Haha sometimes you die olol.

I don\'t know...

Please tell us...

I played through Shenmue several times and am playing through Shenmue 2 again...
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
