Advantages: Revolutionary, Thrilling and gripping

Disadvantages: There're no bad things!

One day in my local video games shop (7th Heaven in Wisbech) I saw a big package which had rather lovely artwork with Shenmue name.
I had a close look at the packaging and thought "Mmmm I'll try this game" and proceeded to pay for the game.
I arrived home and prepared my Dreamcast, the first hour was actually thrilling and gripping.
I didn't want to leave the game and played it all day only stopping for dinner and tea.
You play Ryo Hakuzi who saw his father murdered by a mysterious Chinese group, Ryo goes to investigate and vows to avenge his father's death.
The game starts, I can tell you that you'll never regret it, You must go out (in the game of course) to ask people questions and look for clues which will lead you to China.
This game is a mammoth one indeed, taking 3 CD's to play (Total 4, one is for the Dream Arena Internet access) and be prepared to spend a lot of time and say bye to your social life as you play the game.
It took me 3 MONTHS to finish the game! and after the game was finished, I started again and the game is so addictive and revolutionary!
A gem from Sega!

Yep, not bad. But you're making a bit of a rod for your own back by submitting so many ops in such a short space of time. That's often called "churning", and a lot of cheaters do it, so even honest writers such as yourself will get tarred with the same brush, meaning that a lot of people won't bother to read your ops.

I'd suggest submitting no more than one op every two hours - and some people think even that's too often. Good luck! :-)

Nice review, I can see you liked this one :)

I personally got a bit overwhelmed by it I played for a long time but then in the game I had to get a job and i just thought it was too much like work and I wanted some excitement instead!
