That game is the shissit!!!!!!! :laugh:

I just got a Dreamcast this afternoon with that game and Grandia II.

Shenmue is just awsome!!!!!! What a wondeful game. I had never played somethign like that before. But as I just got it, I still have not even fought the first battle XD

But I love the way things move in that game. I'm sure right now that I'll get the sequel for X Box.

Yeah it is a great game.Sadly i sold my dreamcast and lost that game in the process.I never got very far in it but it was so in depth.The amount of things you can do is mind boggling.I'm probably going to purchase another dreamcast in the future to refresh before shemnue 2

You can do what I did man! They're having deals right now at EB games. You buy 75 bucks worth in games and accesories and get the console for free. Well, that's what I got.

But I'm sure you'll find the same thing or even bettter deal at Ebay as well. :D

And hell, yeah, I'm so impressed with teh depth of that game........ :shock:

Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, and Jet Grind Radio is what's keeping my DC alive.

Shenmue is such an awesome game...tons of freedom, great battles...and just the realism is mind boggling!

Shenmue II is why I purchased an Xbox...

Everything you said is exactly what I would say. Shenmue, SoA, JGR, and Soul Calibur are basically the only games nowadays that I probably would play. And besides JSR:F, I bought the Xbox for Shenmue II.
Shenmue is one of the best games for the DC. No DC owners should be without this game....I love how you can do almost anything in there....going to the Tomato shop in the town and the harbor and purchasing those cassettes, then listening to the tunes...and what about the small casino? Nearly wasted my money on those slot machines. :laugh:
The battles and combat are excellent, the graphics are just superb, the voice acting is terrific...everything about this game is so realistic...:love:
Sadly...I heard that for the sequel, there will be no voice acting...there will only be text. :weep: I hope they decided to change it at the last minute.

Whoa, that would really piss me off :mad: If it's "the most powerful console in the planet" I don't know why the hell they would do that. The same as in DOA 3, that really pissed me off :frust:

But oh well, I'm enjoying Shenmue a lot. And I got also King of Fighters 2000 and KOF 99 evolution. I'm looking forward for Soul Calibur, which I bought the same day I bought the dreamcast, but the damn CD was bad and I had to give it back :(

Eh I wasted all my money in the arcade lol.

Especially on that game where you hit the targets as fast as you can...I spent way too long playin that.

Yeah the voice acting sucked but it gave me and my friends a laugh everytime someone would say..."WHY HELLO RYO" in a corny voice. So i hope they bring it to the sequal.
