What our customer's say!

"My favorite video game of all time", I remember years ago, on Christmas, when i got a Dreamcast and this game.
One of the most special experiences ive ever had in a video game.
This game sums up all that i loved about why i loved to play video games. Games like this (which are very rare) are so involving, so much so that you begin to develop an emotional connection with the game, where it becomes more than a game. Its like an interactive story.

Im not going to make a review-review of this game, going into detail about gameplay, graphics and stuff. But ill do a brief run-down of those things.

For starters, this game, for a Dreamcast game, has amazing graphics, for its time.
The game play is unique, and mixes fighting game style action with this kinda of timed button pressing gameplay, like when youre in a part in the story where there is a cutscene, and you have to go chase someone....it will have you running in the cutscene, and certain things in the scene will take place, like something like a car or person might suddenly get in your way...a controller button shows up on the screen and you only have a couple seconds to hit that button on your controller...in turn, if you time it right, you end up jumping over something in your way, or maneuvering around it.

Kinda different, but it adds more interaction to cutscenes, where usually in a game you just sit there and watch.

Other times this sort of game play is used in hostile situations, where lets say you are ganged up by 5 people....sometimes instead of an all out action type of game play, youll be presented with timed button pressing. Theres a name for the gameplay, i just cant remember what they called it lol.

but ya. its weird, but its exciting. But ofcourse theres lots of moments where you simply fight freestyle in a freeroaming place, as if youre playing a fighting game like Virtua Fighter.

The story is like an action/mystery. Ryu Hazuki, the main guy you play as, father is killed and you are determined to find the killers.
And this is partly what makes Shenmue so great, not only the story, but how you go around town....TOWNS THAT ARE MAPPED PRECISELY AFTER REAL PLACES AND TOWNS IN JAPAN....and you go around asking neighbors and strangers if they know anything, or where to find a certain someone or certain place.

In turn, you have a daily rutine. Get up...go out and investigate the towns around you and when it gets late....get home to go to bed. Seriously, you have a time where you go to bed, just like in real life.

Other things in the game is the great weather effects, that fluctuate from day to day, just like real life. And from season to season....such as winter bringing lots of snow for instance. Its rather fascinating and intriguing, this game is. Mysterious and unforgettable. I feel in love with it all.

Eventually in the game, you explore even further beyond towns and neighborhoods and even take it to the city and ship yard. All places based on real life locations, with their real life names of towns and places. Its amazing. And before i forget to mention, you get a daily allowance from your grandmother...but even that doesnt cut it forever...you will be given a chance to find a job. Ya, even that.

You thought playing a game would give you a little escape from work, but it ends up reminding you for a moment about the daily grind lol. But its great.

Another thing i wanna share with you, is that you can pick up your phone at your house and call the weather man. YES! its true. You can call'em and he'll tell you what the forecast will be for the next day or so.
Thats just great lol.

Not only that, but you can even give your female interest a call. A chick named Nozomi, who is a sweet heart and really likes you, but your too busy and determined to follow up with any feelings yall might have for eachother, sadly. Since your murdered father wont leave your mind for a moment.

Shenmue is the vasted game ive ever played that actually offers real meaningfull interaction with every person you find in the game. Everyone seems to have a personality and their own distinct voice and role. Its fantastic.

Even with the Grand Theft Auto games and the Sims games and all that stuff thats been put out since....nothing has really come close to intimate involvement we get in this story and gameplay provided in Shenmue.

Another memorable thing about this game, is the great musical score. Apart from the memorable music thats synthesized for various shops and things, the game itself for the most part is accompanied by music thats an actual ochestra playing, mainly in various cutscens and menu screens and things. Its breathtaking, not only visually, in shenmue.

From dusting off an old game sysytem in Ryu's room...to hanging out at the arcade and playing old sega games (ya, you can actually play video games...in this game)....or getting soda to drink....or collecting toys from various toy machines around town....or heading off to work....or learning martial moves in the park....or simply exploring the nightlife ant the various bars and things....then finally catching some sleep.
Shenmue pretty much has it all....

You can knock on practically anyones door in town....feed stray cats....beat up drunk american sailors....play pool...call your girlfriend....visit the shops and cafes and barber shops....even go home and pay respect to a little shrine in one of the rooms.

Not to mention you get a intriguing story that unfolds, with characters you find yourself actually caring about.

Yu Suzuki, the games create, truly put together a masterpiece here. An unforgettable experience that only comes around once or so in a generation.

I highly recommend Shen Mue.

"Great Game", I had lots of fun with this game. It kept me busy for a few weeks due to a lot of walking around and looking for things in the game. The only disappointment I had with it is the end of the game really isn't the end. There should be a part 2 but it turns out they only made part 2 for japan and for the xbox not the dreamcast. So I guess I'll never know how the story ends

"awsome", it is a really great game but really hard to beat the product is in perfect condition but the case is little bit chip off other than that i like the game i haven't beaten it yet but i will soon enough thanks for the game

"Amazing game, best video game I have ever played...", 8 years on and this is still the best video game I have ever played. I am even that tempted to buy a dreamcast again and this game so I can play it again - it would only cost about $40 for the both on Amazon.

It had a great story and amazing gameplay. I dont have much patience, but played this game for hours.

"Groundbreaking Game", If you own a Dreamcast do not miss this game. It is primarily an exploration game, with some minigames and CLASSIC ARCADE GAMES playable within the game. You walk up to an arcade game as Ryu, the character you control in the story, and put in money that you have earned. It is very immersive, has spectacular graphics and a great story.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Wow", My friend had bought this game, hes like "Man you have to buy it now serious!!" and I went to the store looked at it, I was like ehh alright then, the graphics look hott. Took it home, damn that whole night was gone!! Gone playing Shenmue lol. This game is one of the best games ever made. But then again its a really underrated game for how good it is. Its better than most games out there right now but its hardly noticed by gaming fans, I would ask people sometimes if they knew what game Shenmue was and they wouldnt know. But this game has one of the best story lines in any game, and it keeps you playing and playing because you want to see what happens next. The fighting is really fun and the QTE battles. One thing I like is that when you need to wait a couple hours for a place to open etc, you can go to the arcade and mess around on the games, thats fun especially the boxing game lol. But you if you have a Dreamcast, buy this game dont hesitate!!

"Yu Suzukies Masterpiece...", Shenmue for the Sega Dreamcast may possibly be the greatest video game experience I've ever had in my gaming days(including Shenmue II for xbox). Shenmue is about a young man out for revenge to find his fathers murderer but theres WAY more too it, I won't spoil anything other then this game is flat out beautiful and should be played by gamers that won't wyn about the slow paced action..

Like the title above, this is Yu Suzukies Masterpiece, the man worked EXTREAMLY hard on this amazing game(Shenmue is also known as one of the most expensive video games ever created). Sadly Yu Suzukies hard worked game never made any good sales because of the PS2's launch, I like many others got it at the time it was first released, This game is just pure brilliance. The visuals are some of the best seen in games...This may be the longest game review I've ever done so lets get to it..

Visuals
This is one of the if not THEEEE best looking DC game ever made, everything is so detailed and the character models are great. The building, the Atmoshpere, thank you so much Suzukie.

Gameplay
ok this is probably the reason this game is the most hated/loved game ever created. IT'S EXTREAMLY SLOW PACED, and may turn off some casual gamers but if you can hold on long enough the action will start to come up. The game play is simple and easy to get use to very quickly. The game plays like a mystery novel, ask people question and clues about something and when you find some clues you go ask other people that may know BUT THIS GAME PULLS IT OFF SO WELL IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY! This game(plus Shenmue II) has THE best fighting engine ever!!! It's taken straight out of the virtura Fighter games. And the Free Battle sequences are extreamly rare yet very fun in the game. Did I mention you can do almost everything in this game? Well not everything but alot of things like getting a job, gambling and alot of the other things that can be done in real life...

Sound/music
When I say this games music is beautiful IT IS, Ten times better then MGS 1. Especially the main theme which you'll notice alot, it's amazing if theres one thing Yu Suzki did well(other then everything els) it's the music in this game, pure brilliance

Controlls
I'm really lazy to get into this but there pretty good
Lemmi just some it up right now

The Good
-Superb Visuals
-Great Controls
-Superb sound
-Amazing Inviorments
-Loads of things to do
-AWESOME FIGHTING ENGINE
-One of the most expensive games ever made
-A beautiful story about vengence but with alot to it

The bad
-action gamers will be turned off by how slow paced this game go's
-For some long, for some a SHORT game, took me about 13 hours my first time but that's because I just did all the story parts and not the side quests
-The sales for this and Shenmue II did so bad that we probably won't see a Shenmue III anytime soon
-For anyone looking for a good challenge for this and Shenmue II, look elswere, it's pretty simple an pretty straight forward..
-If you're looking for a unique game try GET THIS GAME, and get it quick because this as well as many other Dreamcast titles are very hard to find these days(and are already out of print and you'll be lucky if you find it used!)

Other then that Shenmue is an instant classic with everything on the spot, Yu Suzukie created something more then a game....This game is not just good because it feels like you're acctually in that world and living Ryu'S life.....This is good because Yu Suzukie braught us something that just feels so real, and like as if there really is a world like that....acctually there is, JAPAN, duuhh, but still no other game has hit me or motivated to the point were I HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME more then shenmue....This game is hands down...One of the greatest video game experiences you'll ever have...... When it all comes down to this, I give Shenmue for the sega Dreamcast a

5 out of 5 stars...

Brilliant....Just...Brilliant

"Totally a great game a must have for dc fans.", This is a really sweet game. Totally a butt-kicking game. I mean you go around beating people up the game lets you see in real live play beating some one up you know without the pain and nose bleeding.

"TPittman", Ok, first of all im 12 years old, i bought this game, and played it from 3:00PM-2:00AM, three days in a row, and beat it! I only took about three breaks, and didn't go outside or even eat supper!!! I love this game so much, i beat it twice... total time of the game is about 27hours of game play! Man i wish i had an Xbox so i can play shenmue 2, shenmue 2 is also for the European dreamcast, which i dont have, but someday, i will get shenmue 2, and beat it...

This is a list of all the great things in the game...

1.Great storyline and detailed world...

2.Great minigames: Space Harrier(Quite weird, you look like a mother with a purse coming home from the store), Hang on(A motorcycle racing game), Darts(This ones probably my favorite), Exite QTE2(A game where a letter from the controller apears on the screen and you press it as fast as you can), Pool(not that fun and this is only located in the bar), and last but not least, QTE Title(Pretty much the same as Excite QTE2, but this is a boxing one). Most of the Minigames are located in the Dobuita(The city), at You arcade, and darts is also located at the harbor lounge...

3.You get a job at the harbor, and you take boxes with a Forklift to the warehouse your boss tells you to take it...

4.You can go in most of the buildings in the city Dobuita, and the harbor...

5.You can buy pretty much anything, food, Soda, buy a little toy out of the toy machine, and you can win prises, and win video games...

6.Vehicals are in this game, theres a motorcycle, and a forklift, and you can race on the forklift when you have a job...

7.Theres time, clocks, and it turns day and night, and it snows, and rains...

8. Buy tapes, and you can find a tape player in your room, so you can listen to really cheesy songs...

Heres a list of the bad things in the game...

1.The voice of the main character(Ryo Hazuki) sounds like he only put effort in the beginning, threw the rest of the game, he sounds he doesn't even care that his dad died...

2.The part where you have to save a girl(Nozomi Harasaki) on the motorcycle sucks big time, You only drive the motorcycle straight, i thought you would be able to drive it anywhere, and that part is hard too...

Thats everything, the only part of the game that sucks is them two, but buy the game, trust me, its the best RPG/Adventure game ever made on the planet, and the game not that bad, its rated Teen for Animated violence, Strong language, and Use of Tobacco and Alcohol, but dont let that stop you, just buy it already!!!

NOTE: You need a memory card!!!

"The peak of gaming.", 4 years ago, I saw tons of ads for Shenmue. I had never read anything about the game, or knew what it was about, as the ads simply said "SHENMUE" and its release date. I started to get hyped up about it, because they made it seem like this was the biggest game to come out since Super Mario Bros. 3. When it finally did come out, I managed to get it at Target for an incredibly sick low price. Upon taking it home and starting it up, I had a new standard for what makes a game good. I couldn't even believe this was a game when I saw Ryo Hazuki in action, running through an almost photo realistic Japan in the 1980's. It was beauty in motion. But this is more than a pretty game, much more.

What exactly is Shenmue? Is it an rpg, adventure, action, or fighter? It's really all of those. If you don't know by now, it was originally slated to be an rpg with Virtua Fighter characters, which sounds pretty cool. Later on though, everything was changed into something completely original. You play as Ryo Hazuki, a Japanese teenager who arrives home to see a black car parked near his home. Entering through the gates, he finds the housekeeper on the ground, probably beaten up. She tells him that his father's in the dojo and the men in the car are with him. Making his way to the dojo, an "adopted" family member gets thrown out and is unconscious. Finally, Ryo enters to see a Chinese man in a silk robe asking for a mirror. Ryo's dad, Iwao, doesn't tell them, and they begin to fight. Iwao is no match though, as Lan-Di dodges every move without effort and takes him out with a simple kick. Saying that he won't tell him again, Lan-Di threatens to kill Ryo. Iwao has no choice, and tells him that it's buried under the cherry tree outside. But it's too late, and Lan-Di tells Iwao to get up and die with honor. He kills him right in front of Ryo, and leaves with the mirror. The scene is very dramatic and the music addes even more to an already emotional scene. From that point on, it's up to Ryo to track down Lan-Di and avenge his father. Unfortunately for him though, it won't be easy. A lot of time will be spent asking questions around town to get more details on where to go next. This part of the game tends to bore some ignorant people, but it isn't as bad as they make it out. If you actually follow directions, things will be very simple. Sometimes, the people you try to get answers out of take offense, and immediately start a fight. Trust me, the fights in Shenmue are sweet and I was always pumped to get in one. The music, moves, and danger of it all renders all other fights in games obsolete. It took me a long time to get back to turn-based fights in rpgs after playing this.

As serious as it may sound, you can still have fun in Shenmue. Remember, this takes place in Japan in the 80's, so it's a very new world to many people. It's also as realistic as you can get. The designers took the actual weather reports and forecasts from that time period and put them into the game's actual calendar. If it was raining on a friday in December in real life, it's doing the same thing here in the game. If you don't want to wait around until a store opens to talk to the owner, buy some capsule toys of classic Sega characters (ranging from Sonic to NiGHTS to Sega executives), or go to the arcade and play classic games like Hang-On or Space Harrier. Time flies when playing those gems. You can also try out darts, a boxing simulator, and a QTE arcade machine to win capsule toys of said machines. QTEs are pretty cool. During a scene, sometimes a button or direction will flash on the screen, and you have to press it quickly in order to move on. An example is when some bikers attack (well, try to if you're good) Ryo at the harbor. If you manage to hit all the buttons correctly at the right time, Ryo will knock a biker off his motorcycle, causing him to fall into the sea. Even now, four years later, these excite me. Shenmue also has a vast variety of characters- Ryo's potential love interest: Nozomi the flower girl, Tom the hot dog vendor, Goro the street-wise punk with a heart of gold, Mark who supervises Ryo when he gets a job (oh yes, you get to work, and it's nothing but fun) driving forklifts, and many more characters. You can also practice your fighting moves in the dojo or even a parking lot. And you'll want to if you don't want to get beaten up in the many fights. Go out and buy some new move scrolls at the antique shop, or look around the Hazuki house. There's just so much to do here, that I could bore you even more with a second review just to go through it all. And by the time you're even 2 hours into the game, you will actually feel like you -are- Ryo Hazuki. The character attention is worthy of 5 stars in its own.

For the time it was released, nothing could compare to Shenmue. Character models all have nothing but the best detail. Wrinkles in their skin, articles of clothing where you can see each individual stitch, and actual facial expressions. Not just heads that had moving mouths, but real expressions. You can see the anger and determination in Ryo's eyes when confronting members of gangs in the area, shock when Tom demonstrates a new move later on, and grace in the final scene. But the developers didn't just stop with the main characters like so many others do, each individual character has their own unique look to distinguish them from anyone else. Just look at some of the workers at the harbor, or the resturant workers who look the part. On the Shenmue passport disc, there are almost FMV quality graphics in some of the characters that talk to you about the Shenmue world and explain various things. They're so close to being of Final Fantasy X FMV quality. Even today after the likes of the Xbox and GC have set the bar, those graphics look great. If there's anything to degrade in the graphics at all, it's that there's slowdown when walking through crowded streets. It never bothered me, but it does get to some people. Fortunately, this doesn't occur during the incredible fights. The 70 man battle in particular.

There's nothing bad to say about the music. The game's theme will automatically be stuck in your head once you hear it for the first time. And when the Chinese fiddle version is heard, it makes the theme even more memorable. It's epic, plain and simple. The theme is heard a lot throughout the game, but used differently and with variations. There's even a christmas version once December rolls around. Through the game, you can also buy cassette tapes if you want to hear something different. My favorite would probably be Hang-On, which can be won at the Tomato store as a prize. And the music that kicks in during fights, nothing short of dynamic. It's a shame it wasn't carried over to the sequel. That theme alone was worth playing for. And like the graphics, there's one tiny thing I didn't like- some of the voice acting. A lot of the voices are pretty good, but some of the extras just didn't try. If you have the chance, import the Japanese version to get the better voices.

Shenmue remains my favorite game even after the Panzer Dragoon Ortas and Blinxes and even Bust-A-Moves that I've played recently. Please buy this game and show support so the saga can continue. Right now the series is kind of in a rut, and its future isn't looking too good. As long as its finished in some way (even if the official comic manages to get more attention), I'll be happy. Shenmue isn't for everyone, but for those that pick it up and can appreciate it, they'll be hooked. Thank you for making this experience Mr. Suzuki. Here's hoping to more in the future *raises glass of cranberry apple raspberry juice*.
