Rocking through Shenmue II now. Having the free time from both work and school this week has helped out. I've been stuck working on a paper for the most part since the late afternoon today, but I plan on putting in as many hours as possible tomorrow night.
So far, I think I'm liking it more than the first one, but I have some gripes that I'm waiting to see how the rest of the game develops before making a full judgment on them.
