User Rating: 9.3 | Shenmue: Isshou Yokosuka DC
Shenmue is a masterpiece, or almost one. It's not perfect, as my review will show you, but it's revolutionary.

The idea behind this game was to create a living, breathing world which you live and work in. A tragic event leads to an engaging story that takes you across the world and into Shenmue II. The game has excellent graphics, that at the time of the game's release were well ahead of it's time. The sound is good too, as the game includes a lot of speech and some great cut-scenes with varied traditional Japanese music.

This game IS special though. You can do just about anything you want to do. Pic up and/or look at what you want. Walk where you want. Talk to whoever you want. Do whatever you want. All incased in a gripping story.

Unfortunately the game is not perfect. The voice acting could be a little better at times, and the game could have been more fun in parts. It is quite short and wont last you for ever - so when it's over, it's over.

If you have not played Shenmue, I suggest you do, as it's one of the best games ever made. Simple as that.
