A huge disappointment.
I played this game with the goal of writing a long-ish review in mind. For that reason I tracked hours and took note of the good and especially the bad bits. For lack of space this is a brief summary. I played the three titles in order. The world of Shadowrun was new to me and a welcome departure from RPG systems I knew, mostly D&D and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (Fallout). Having both technology and magic available in a fantasy world is a nice thing, and while it is not as interesting as in Arcanum it provides at least some character specialisation. What I liked most about the first two titles were the stories. They were relatively interesting, well told and had one or two twists in them, making them non-obvious. Her is where 'Hong Kong' failed miserably. The story is obvious from the start. You know where you have to go, you even roughly go there during your first mission, but the game does not let you go there until the very end. What do you have to do in the meantime? Grind through some missions for no good reason and read through literally hours of boring flavour text that doesn't provide much of anything really. I read through all of it and give you one advice: skip through the dialogues and save yourself ten hours or so, you won't miss anything. Other than that the game has some improvements to offer, namely the new matrix, an acceptable inventory system, simple cut scenes and the ability to enter a fight before the enemy sees you. There are also a lot of areas that were and still are lacking. Some minor bugs and oddities in the interface were carried over from part one, some new bugs were introduced and are unfixed, extremely linear story, lack of tactical options and a superficial China setting. If you could play the previous two titles using the engine of this one I might say go for it, but as far as I know that is not possible. There is an active modding community, so something good might come from there. As it is I recommend you to get 'Returns' or 'Dragonfall".
