This was a fantastic game, the length was just right. The actual gameplay was completely captivating. The only unfortunate thing is that the game was supposed to be part of a long series that ended up being only two games, of which the second is... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I believe that Shenmue is the summum of a personal RPG. Unlike most RPG's this one is set in the now. This one is not just triggered by events, but in combination with time. This makes for a different experience. Running through the streets,... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Gameplay 9.5/10 Graphics 10/10 Sound 9/10 Story 10/10 Overall 9.8/10 I picked Shenmue up from the store without knowing what it was, and man am I ever glad I did. It ranks in my top 5 games of all time. There's just... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Shenmue is one of the best and most unique gaming experiences I have ever played. It's not just a game, its a story, an amazing and beautiful story about love, betrayal and revenge. Shenmue is based in Japan circa 1986 and revolves... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Shenmue is a great game featuring awesome graphics, a breathtaking symphony, decent controls, and unheard-of realism.You can also play some classic Sega games; which really adds to the replay value. You play as a boy named Ryo who is looking... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Shenmue is truly one of the best game ever made and closest to life that you can get, as of now. This game is highly detailed with many people to interact with, while interacting with their own world like going to work and being in the park only... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I might come off like a Sega fanboy, but Shenmue is simply the greatest game ever. I don't know where to start. The story is deep. I mean like X-files deep. Well maybe not that deep but it is up there. There are few cut scenes in this game, but... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This is my favorite game of all time and beleave me i have played alot of games. It caputures the greatness of movies and blends magically with outstanding gameplay. This game kept me playing out of the interest of not knowing what will happen... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Kobold Warrior (2 Trusters)	8	4/25/2002
Shenmue is a game that breaks quite a few molds. It adds much more detail and depth and becomes sort of an experience instead of an actual game. That describes both Shenmue's good and bad points. It's great because it is so immersive and... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Tito Ruiz (6 Trusters)	10	3/22/2002
OK. 1st is whoever gave this game a bad rating never played the game. They are lying to all the readers out there. This game is the best of its kind ever. The story is great. The graphics shows off the Dreamcast's... [ Read The Full Review... ]

While Shenmue is most definitely not the comedic masterpiece by William Goldman, its main character, Ryo Hyabusa, bears some resemblance to Inigo -- each character is driven to exact revenge upon the man who killed his father. Ryo-san's... [ Read The Full Review... ]

An adventure game that offers a very detailed rendition of its environment. Seemingly open ended in that you can go to most places that don't relate to the main game. Though it suffers what most adventure games suffer in being very... [ Read The Full Review... ]

It gets a 4 for ambition alone. I really don't see the enjoyment in this, however if you like RPG's where you have to shuttle backwards and forwards talkin to everyone and anyone then double the score. The most fun I had was playing... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Dark Laduke (3 Trusters)	10	1/4/2002
This is positively the best game available for the Dreamcast. If more games like this had been produced, perhaps this underrated system wouldn't have died as soon as it did. It is a magnificent game with an engrossing storyline and... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Jim Boyer	9	1/1/2002
This game gets a 8 for being unique. It does have some minor issues all of which can be over looked. The acting is great and the story is good. Simulating life is not always a good thing but this game had so much thought put into... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Not only are the graphics of this game amazing, it's a brilliant adventure with a superb storyline. There are slow parts, but if this game clicks with you like it did with me you'll be playing it over and over again. Probably my... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I'm not too much into games like Shenmue. For its graphics and game play it was a pretty cool game that got me to play it for a few hours. Wish there was a Shehmue II for DC but doesn't look like it will... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Would have been a 10, but the voice acting was bad and would have made it an 8 except you can turn voices off and read subtitles :) Langorous at-your-own pace exploration. Having spent a little time in Japan, this game made me... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Ando Kuky	4	12/2/2001
Simply put, this game blows. I wouldnt take it for f.r.e.e. Bad control, worse voice acting. Not too good for an action rpg. Boring gameplay. This is suppose to simulate life? I think... [ Read The Full Review... ]
