How did they F the Xbox port so badly?

Honestly WTF the Xbox version of Shenmue 2 feels so inferior to the Dreamcast version in every way I'd rather it did not even exist. First of all you got the bad english voice acting that could of been miles better if it hadn't been rushed so badly, they got random people instead of many professionals to take part in the voice acting now I'm not saying that Corey Marshall was bad and all but Kylo just did the most jar numbing voice over for Ren like its just laughable. Compare it to the DC voice for Ren he is intimidating like a gangster not some 11 year old boy.
They should've made T-Shirts that said 'I survived Shenmue 2 in english!" because almost every NPC made me want to kill myself, it is assualt.
This is the Xbox it was supposed to be a better version for some reason they added the most annoying bloom feature ever and it's unpleasant. The DC version was sharp as hell and it looks great in VGA, no bloom was needed it looks terrible. Third of all the cover of the game... it looks like a fighting game, Lan Di and Ryo look really different and instead of the beautiful DC art they just ruined it with that Xbox art. Ryo's jacket is darker in the xbox version, I don't know if thats really a bad thing but also his cuffs are bigger! the part next to his hands WHY????
What made them do all these changes? Did they hate Shenmue 2?
