, Totally with you, i loved this game soo much it was a great gaming experience. I can see where Yi-Long comes from, its sorta you like it or Love it. The music is sooo good i just loved it.
I just want to completed Shenmue 2 and then wait for Shenimue 3....
Haven't completed Zelda yet, i had this game for ages but just started playing it, I'm on an island with the bird people at the moment, right at the beginning. It is a good game, cell shading is really good. I thought i would hate it alot. But i am surprised at how good it is
Totally agree on the Shenmue 1 soundtrack, man. That was awesome. I downloaded it back then and it's still in my head. Very memorable. I cant remember if they really used it much in the game though (I downloaded the soundtracks of segaweb.com), or if the western version had a different soundtrack then the japanese or whatever, but the japanese soundtrack was awesome. One of the best game soundtracks ever (Lost Eden, an old PC game, also had a great soundtrack)
Back on zelda-topic: Been in the evil forrest and all, collected all 3 pearls, and connected them through placing them on the different islands, which made a huge fortress of the Gods appear, which would test my skillz and thus give me the power I needed to help my lil sister. So that's where I am right now.
Lost Dragon mentioned that sailing becomes a bore, and I can understand where he's coming from. The sailing itself I don't really mind, but being attacked by seamonsters, is kinda irritating. However, I once sailed into a hurricane, and after I was thrown out, my boat mentioned something about the possibility of harnessing that power if we would defeat teh hurricane, so we could use it to 'warp' across the map ... so I think that problem will solve itself later on in the game.
I have a big question though: Where the hell is Zelda? Arent we supposed to rescue her? Or will she enter the story later on?
Grim: if you can find it on discount, and you already have a Cube, I'd say go for it. It's great if you have a couple of days off so you can get some dedicated play in. It really absorbs you, although it isnt flawless. Sometimes it's a bit unclear what you have to do next, and there are also some other very slight niggles... but overall it's one of the best games I have played thusfar. So if you can get it for cheap (and try to get the version which has Ocarina of Time bundled in), you'd do yourself a very nice favourby buying it...
I'm off to buy F-Zero now. Read the reviews, saw the trailers, should be very good, and it's a good game to play when I don't have hours to spend on gaming, but just 30 minutes orso... (plus it's only 20 euro)
