Shenmue (DC) Reviews

I played this game without having any opinion or prejudgement on the ability of the Dreamcast. What I found was a game that was simply out of this world! In all my years of computer gaming I have never found a game as unique and original as this. The game is based around a young Chinese man called Ryo who has his father killed by a mysterious gang ...

The first title of what Sega hopes to become an ongoing series, Shenmue is a hugely lavish, expensive and frankly beautiful gaming production. Claiming to break new ground in the synthesis of a ‘real world’ and hyped up more than any game in recent years, Shenmue proves to be both the biggest surprise and the biggest disappointment in ...

Shenmue is the most ambitious game ever weighing in at a hefty 3 discs of gameplay. The first time you play the game, your jaw simply drops at the graphics. We are talking almost photo realistic here, with the main character Ryo and all the other characters animated perfectly including stunning detail, such as people having visibly one hair ...

Ok let me argue my opinion fairly as you no doubt will have seen my score. Shemnue has had so much hype, does it live up to it? Only in graphics and presentation. The gameplay however is crap and I was bored fast with it. I have a bad feeling everyone who reviews this game forgets it is a game. Let me justify this by saying, it is linear, and you ...

This game is like real life! The weather is random, which is generated by the magic weather system, you have to get home by 11, o, clock (an hour of the game is ten minutes) and much more. You have to get drink from a Coke machine, you can also collect these collectables from little machines, and you can get little figures like sonic. You can also ...

Ok, believe it or not, I haven’t had the time to play Shenmue for as much as I would have wanted, and so I must be about the only person to have got it on release day and not completed it yet! Anyway, it doesn’t really matter because I’ve played a bit more now, and my overall thoughts of the game haven’t really ...

At last the much hyped and long awaited Shenmue has its European release and was it worth the wait, read on. Coming in a cardboard box with to normal Dreamcast boxes inside that slip in and out the right hand side, the game is on three disks with the fourth being the passport disk for Internet options. I have to say that when I first put the game ...

After loading the game, I watched the intro in anticipation. How can a video look that good with the in-game engine? I woke up, went out of my room and explored the house. Amazingly almost everything can be examined in 3d. The NPC's have enough phrases to be real and dont just stand there waiting to be talked to they have lives!!! You might have ...

Shenmue is the best experience you will ever come close to seeing on any console or PC. Before you doubt me, and touting the Playstation 2 as a million times better than anything, please read my review and take into consideration a neutral point of view. Shenmue (Dreamcast) features the main character Ryo Suzuki. He witnesses a man nearly killing ...

You are now seeing the best game of all time! This knocks the socks of Mario 64, or Zelda or any PC game for that matter and we all know how good they're getting today! You've got super-real graphics, a dolby digital 5.1 sound track for those of you who have powerful entertainment systems and Nights, the popular Sega Saturn game in full ...

With the sorry fact that the aging PlayStation is considerably outselling the Dreamcast, Shenmue, which will most likely be released at about the time Sony brings its new super-console to the UK, is looking more and more like the make or break game for Sega. Yu Suzuki's groundbreaking game is set to take gaming to the next level of interactive ...
