    Shenmue is, in a word, brilliant.

    Shenmue is one of those rare games that come along every now and then that shows people how much further games could go than where it is now. Everything about this game is totally revolutionary, except for the fact that ... Read Full Review

    First game of its kind.

    Shenmue for the Dreamcast is the first game of its kind. Billed as a game in the apparently new "FREE" genre, Shenmue for the Dreamcast gives you more freedom than any other game to date. In Shenmue you play the role... Read Full Review

    When I first heard about Shenmue I was really impressed how ambitious this game could be, plus Yu Suzuki was behind it which is more than enough to have at least an impressive game. Shenmue is already 4,5 years old if yo... Read Full Review
