Why go back and play the dated shenmue when the awesome spiritual successor Yakuzas are superior in every aspect?
Skies of Arcadia on the other hand ... I have no idea what the game is about but boy do Sega fans love to dwell on it. I'm interested in it. |
Yakuza superior?
Both Shenmue 1 & 2 raped Yakuza 1,2 & 3 overall when it came to review scores.
Just because there are similarities, it does not mean that everyone is going to automatically like Yakuza.
I had more emotions/feelings for Ryo & Nazomi ALONE than i had for every Yakuza character put together.
Yu Suzuki's Shenmue has been called a masterpiece countless times by countless gaming media giants.
Yakuza on the other hand............. just another game.

Interesting comment, I decided to look it up and see if it was true.
Overall scores according to metacritic:
Shenmue: 88
Shenmue II: 80
Yakuza: 75
Yakuza 2: 77
Yakuza 3: 79
Seems pretty close to me, I think both of you are overestimating your series of choice.

A lot of Shenmues higher scores have been pulled from metacritic. for example IGN's score..... http://uk.dreamcast.ign.com/articles/164/164499p1.html
Also Shenmue 2's scores have taken a hit (and theres only the XBOX version on meta)........... check the USER scores for Shenmue and see for yourself how many people LOVED that game.......... http://www.metacritic.com/game/dreamcast/shenmue
Yakuza is not in Shenmue's league, bottom line___________________
