Shenmue Online

Xbox

6th September 2004, 9:16pm
We've recently discovered that the new instalment in the Shenmue series will be online, and surprisingly it's looking a lot like The Matrix Online. Does the Matrix Online game have some quality competition? It certainly looks that way. Awesome graphics, fantastic combat, rooftop fighting, and it looks like it supports a lot of players.

From the footage and the information we've gathered, Ryo is back as his usual self, with a bit of a polycount boost, along with Joy, and other familiar Shenmue characters. For those that don't know, the Shenmue games have always been set in Hong Kong, and this game is no different. The only noticable difference in Shenmue Online is that the graphics are even better than the awesome state that was Shenmue II.
