That picture of Sora is from some promo CGI picture for KH2.
Number 4 Diggy dog!
Ryo Hazuki
Company: Sega Am2
Series: Shenmue
I bet no one expected him! Ryo Hazuki takes the number 4 spot. Shenmue was the most expensive game ever when it was released in 2000. Sega Am2, led by Yu Suzuki created a mirror image of Japan in the mid 1980s. Suzuki created both Shenmue 1 and 2 for the Sega Saturn, and had originally planed the main character to be a young Akira, from the Virtua Fighter series. A good amount of the game was made for the Saturn, and even still the pictures and videos prove to be the best graphics on Saturn. The game was moved towards the Dreamcast where it became reality. Ryo Hazuki, a 18 year old, comes home one day to find father murdered at the hands of a man named Lan Di. There on, Ryo is on a quest to avenge his fathers death. What sets Ryo out from other characters is you, the player, get a better connection with a character than in any other game, because you\'re essentially Ryo. You decide where to, look, when to sleep, what to buy, even what to say. On Ryo\'s quest he gradually becomes stronger in the martial arts, so you have to remember all his skills and moves, which at times is very challenging. You easily get absorbed into the storyline, that is unless you have no attention span what-so-ever. Through Shenmue 1 and 2 you never actually get to face Lan Di, because the game is set in 7 games (which might be cut down). There\'s one scene where Lan Di and Ryo stare each other down, that the intense of it is simply amazing. Ryo\'s personality is probably the most developed of any character, because you spend so much time just building it up. Shenmue is not for gamers who have no attention, hell there\'s spots in the game in which Ryo just talks to someone for an hour or more.
Top 3 coming up!!
