| − | | |
| − | '''''Shenmue II''''' (シェンムー II) is an Adventure game for the [[Dreamcast]] and [[Xbox]] game consoles. It is the sequel to ''[[Shenmue]]'', and was produced and directed by [[Yu Suzuki]] of [[AM2]]. Due to exclusivity rights obtained by Microsoft, the North American [[Dreamcast]] version was cancelled. Unlike the first game of the series, no English Dubbing was recorded for the Dreamcast version of ''Shenmue II'', and the European release included subtitles. The later Xbox version included an English dub, and was not released in Japan. ''Shenmue II'' incorporates four chapters of the ''Shenmue'' saga.

| − | ==Story==
| |
| − | ''Shenmue II'' begins shortly after the first installment concluded. While ''[[Shenmue]]'' told the story of the 1st chapter of the saga, the second game tells the story of the third, fourth, and fifth chapters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The second chapter happens between Shenmue and Shenmue II during Ryo Hazuki's trip from Yokosuka to Hong Kong and is just mentioned during the beginning of the game. It is available as a comic book as an extra in the Xbox version of the game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The third chapter of the saga begins when Ryo, the main protagonist of the series, arrives in Hong Kong in order to locate Master Lishao Tao. After a difficult search, Ryo finally meets Master Lishao Tao, a woman named Xiuying; but she is unwilling to assist him in what she considers an immoral quest for vengeance. The two part ways, although Xiuying continues to monitor Ryo's progress and they continue to meet on occasion. Through his continued search, Ryo discovers another individual who may be able to assist him in locating Lan Di.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The fourth chapter of the saga takes place in Kowloon, as Ryo attempts to locate Yuanda Zhu; a martial arts expert who sent Iwao Hazuki a letter warning of his impending murder, a warning that arrived too late. At this juncture, several confrontations ensue between Ryo and his allies and the dangerous Yellowheads organization, who are aiming to kidnap Yuanda Zhu on behalf of Lan Di.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The fifth chapter takes place in Guilin. Shortly after arriving, Ryo encounters a young woman named Ling Shenhua. She had previously appeared to Ryo through several dreams throughout the first chapter of the series. As the two converse, it is revealed that the Shenhua family is connected with the legacy of the dragon and phoenix mirrors. Shenhua leads Ryo to a stone quarry on the outskirts of the village to meet with her father, but he is nowhere to be found. The episode comes to an ambiguous end when the pair discover a cryptic note and sword, which Ryo combines with the phoenix mirror and unwittingly sets off a device revealing a huge depiction of the two mirrors. At the game's cliffhanger ending, the sword is seen to float in mid-air.
