I think Halo 2 is the best one in the entire series. Better production values, better music, more weapons and vehicles, more multiplayer maps plus online capability, and I love how interwoven the story was and how both sides of the conflict ended up together towards the end (Arbitur and Master Chief).

I know the cliffhanger ending kills it for a lot of fans, but everything leading up to that cliffhanger was just amazing. As an action movie and sci-fi fan, I was on the edge of my seat through most of it, my first playthrough. And that awesome musical score that went along with it all was perfect.

Even if there was a Shenmue 3. I don't think it should come out people have been waiting for it for so long and so many games have out Shenmue'd Shenmue. It would only be disappointment.

But at least give us the ending.

I want to play shenmue because I'm really interested in it. But does it get tedious with too many cutscenes? Never played it so I don't know. But i like cutscenes as long as theres not too many, and I love a great story

Shenmue is a must play that still looks great 10 years+ later.

But the story is unresolved.

Cut scenes are the least of your Shenmue boredom worries.

I love the series, but it is boring as a game can get. When racing a fork lift is one of the most exciting things in the games...yup...it's boring, but I love it.

I could never play Shenmue for more than an hour in. I hated it. I understand it's supposed to be an amazing work of games as art and an incredible technical achievement for the time but good gracious it is literally the most boring game I've ever played. The only thing that's fun in that game is the arcade games included.
