After an outstanding first game, Shenmue II continues Ryo Hazuki's quest to hunt down Lan Di, the man who killed his father. The game ends on a massive cliffhanger, as Ryo appears to have made headway in his search by combining a sword with the Phoenix mirror, creating a giant visage of two mirrors standing before himself and his new companion, Ling Shenhua. Then, the game ends. Given that Sega made no secret about Shenmue being a multi-part saga, this should have been fine, but considering that Shenmue III to date still hasn't happened, it's a sore point for a lot of gamers. The outcry over this ridiculously open-ended finale has been the source of countless online petitions to get a third game made, but due to neither Shenmue games exactly lighting the gaming world on fire sales-wise, it's a dim prospect at best, albeit one we always hope will be announced every time E3 rolls around...
