8 years on, and still the best video game ever made.

8 years on, I still think about this game and my job working the forklift at the harbor.

This is without doubt the best video game I have ever played. The whole whole is immense and extremely detailed. I loved everything about this and no other video game has compared. Had my friend not purchased this himself and I seen him play it, I would never had known about this game. It kind of went under the radar.

It is set in 1986 Japan. The whole story is based around you avenging your father's death. You can go to stores, buy stuff, speak to people. There are also fight scenes. You basically lead a virtual life, drinking, socializing, working, spending time with your girlfriend etc.

I am tempted to buy a dreamcast off ebay and this game, so I can play it again. For $50 you can pick up a console and this game. Wonderful adventure.
