Shenmue was the 1st chapter of a 16 chapter adventure, while Shenmue II will feature chapters two through six on four GD-ROMS. Shenmue 2 will entirely be set in China with Hong Kong, Kowloon, and Guilin as the featured cities, Shenmue II will also feature a navigational system that will allow Ryo to map out his current location and see if he needs to go to a certain area or the ones he has already visited, this will make the game progress faster and will have more action and figting also. This will also help people who got lost a lot in Shenmue. There is also going to be a "action key" This will allow you to ask important questions to important charaters this will allow the game to prgress also faster then in shenmue, it will make the gamer more interested, and the moral path divided.

In this game you will still have to find out information and cant do as you please but you will have more freedom in Shenmue 2, thats why this game is going to be the best out there when it hits shelves this fall. The launch hasn't been desided yet but should come this fall or at a later day depending where you live. Suzuki went on to say that the team spent plenty of the time studying photographs and blueprints to ensure that the game would model the environments exactly as they existed in real life. Lets just say this game will almost be exaclty like hong kong. This will add way more realism then Shenmue. Suzuki showed a slightly longer version of the trailer that was shown in Japan at The Movie premiere. The trailer starts by briefly recapping the important events of Shenmue, then it focess on Ryo as he travels to Hong Kong aboard a huge tanker ship. Suzuki commented that Ryo's adventures on his way to Hong Kong, which were originally planned to appear in chapter 2, but has been cut from the game. Suzuki maintained that Shenmue II will take place mainly in Hong kong in China, and will feature several real-life locations to enhance the realism of the game. The trailer then shows the ship coming to port, and Ryo stepping off the tanker and looking around the sea market of Hong Kong.

This Game will also feature a new and huge cast of characters the numbers havent been disided yet but im guess around 350 new characters that you will meet and write down information. As you progress through the game certain things will happen like in the first game but this time only faster. This game will have 4 GD roms compared to only 3 GD roms in the first advanture. This game will be 4 times bigger then the last advantrue shenmue. All I have to say is save your money dont miss out on this awsome game.
