Shenmue II

The game's environments are based on real locations in Hong Kong. The game world is significantly larger than that of its predecessor. Earning money plays a more important role, and many objectives are built around Ryo having to take part-time jobs or participate in fights to win money.

The sequel features a larger amount of characters who take part in the story. Some of them also accompany Ryo on his journey, helping him in fights or other dangerous situations. The game also noticeably increases the amount of quick-time events (QTEs).
