is this game going to be released for ps2 or do i gotta buy an xbox? is it any good? it looks cool.

This game is very very very gooooooddd. If you have a dreamcast than you could get the first game of jet grind and play it. I don't have any idea about the game being in other console but I doubt that it will. smilebit and xbox have close ralated business so you might have to get an xbox and that is not an easy thing unless you have money to buy it.

Unknown at this point. Probably exclusive on the xbox for a certain period of time, then it may go somewhere else.

But for now, the only version being developed is for the XBox and it comes out in less than a month.

I'd guess if it sales well we'll see it on the PS2 and/or Gamecube, and if it doesn't it will remain on the X-box. The first Dreamcast game sold well, but it was by no means a system seller. It was, for lack of a better description, a cult hit. I loved the graphics, but the gameplay just got too repetitive for me, which was the gripe many had with the game. Maybe the gameplay in the sequel will offer more variety than skating around, painting grafitti and running from cops, but I haven't read much to suggest that. At any rate the game looks outstanding graphically so those that liked the first one should love this one.

Supposedly it may be ported over later, depending on the reception of the X-Box version. As you may have heard, the original failed to sell in Japan.

At this point, nobody knows how exclusive Sega titles are. Virtua Fighter 4, Super Monkey Ball, Shen Mue II, that baseball game, and Jet Set Radio could be on every system in a year.

Actually Shenmue II is Microsoft's only, according to their agreement anyway. And I quote:

"Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft has secured the rights to market, sell, and distribute the only version of Shenmue II for the US market."

As for the rest of those games, you're right.

I hope Xbox gets the rights to Shen Mue III and they can build that game from the ground up with the Xbox hardware in mind. I'm tired of this PS2-lowest common denominator port crap.

I agree with both statements.
Unfortunately, regarding the latter, I don't think developers are going to be serious in devoting extra effort into utilizing the extra horsepower in the XBOX.

We'll just have to hope 1st and 2nd party developers consistently churn-out fun games while making the most of the hardware.

We are not in Japan!!

This game is very good and competitive and it gives me competition like the old days when I played Mario and others.

Buy the game if you have an XBOX.

It was confirmed for PS2. although I can't remember the source for this. Not anywhere near next month like the X-Box version.

Really? Confirmed? Because I don't think it was. I can't find that info on any of the major sites (Gamespot, IGN, etc.)... Anyone hear different?
