Shenmue for Dreamcast

The first chapter of Yu Suzuki's epic saga is at hand. Shenmue is an adventure game that transports you to Japan, circa 1986. You are Ryo, a young man trying to solve the mystery of his father's death. Along the way, you'll be treated to the most richly-detailed game world ever conceived. Shenmue offers a true living world, where characters exist on their own timelines and almost all objects can be manipulated and used. Over the course of the adventure, you will learn new hand-to-hand fighting techniques, presented in breathtaking motion-captured animations. You'll also interact with literally hundreds of characters and solve a myriad of puzzles. It's epic storytelling at its best, and it's only on Dreamcast.

Pros Most depth on the DC. That's gotta be worth something. Beautiful environments, good...
Cons Horrid voice acting, poor auxiliary character development, bad localization, game ends...
Recommended it? Yes

I had heard so much about this game, and been so disappointed by the rest of Sega's offerings that I made this my make or break game. If this game was good, I'd still have some faith in Sega, and if this game game sucked, I would forever write off Sega as nothing more than a company who made good... Read full review »

If you were to mention the name Yu Suzuki to the average man on the street, odds are, you?d be met with lots of blank stares and confused responses of ?who?? However, if you walked up to the average hardcore videogame fan and mentioned the same name, odds are the response would be one filled with... Read full review »
