Description
Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and 2001, Shenmue I & II is an open world action adventure combining jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, RPG elements, and memorable mini-games. It pioneered many aspects of modern gaming, including open world city exploration, and was the game that coined the Quick Time Event (QTE). It was one of the first games with a persistent open world, where day cycles to night, weather changes, shops open and close and NPCs go about their business all on their own schedules. Its engrossing epic story and living world created a generation of passionate fans, and the game consistently makes the list of “greatest games of all time”.
Story
A tale of revenge.
In 1986, teenage jujitsu artist Ryo Hazuki returns to the dojo of his father, Iwao Hazuki, only to witness his murder by a Chinese man, Lan Di. Lan Di steals a mysterious artifact known as the Dragon Mirror. Ryo vows to avenge his father’s death and sets out tracing Lan Di’s path.
The first game in the series, Shenmue begins the tale as Ryo travels around Yokosuka, Japan, gathering clues about his father’s murder and dealing with nefarious gangsters along the way.
The sequel Shenmue II continues Ryo’s quest, this time crossing the sea to Hong Kong, China. Ryo ventures deeper into the criminal underworld, meeting martial arts masters who aid him on his journey and offer insight into his father’s death, and unravels the mysteries of the Dragon Mirror that his father kept hidden.

Shenmue sucks and Shenmue is amazing. Both of these things are true. If you meet Shenmue on it's level, and treat it like a playable life sim that happens to have part of martial arts story in it, it becomes one of the

My first taste of Shenmue 1 started back in December 2000 on the Dreamcast. I was a teenager back then and had read about the hype surrounding this game on Dreamcast magazine, as well as watching the trailers repeatedly

I played through all of shenmue 1 with the promise that the patience i had would pay off in the 2nd game. I was super excited to play shenmue 2 but then on the first day of shenmue 2 i encountered a game-breaking bug.

Classics, dated in some ways but still absolute classics. There aren't really any games like this, especially with good combat system (kinda like Virtua Fighter), uncovering a mystery, figuring things out, talking to
