Shenmue...a game I've been trying to play for about 3 years now, but several broken Dreamcasts/Bad Discs have prevented me from playing it. Tonight though, I was able to finally play it, and I gotta say, it's pretty good. Here are some reasons why it's good:
-It's VERY interactive. You can check just about everything in this game. -It's comprised of 3 Discs, so I know it's quite lengthy. -The graphics are just gorgeous.
It also seems to feel like an interactive mystery rather than a Video Game. It's very atmospheric, and with no music while you explore, it feels real. I mean, come on. Do you really hear music while you walk around in real life? Of course, there is the bad:
-Voice Acting could be slightly better. (This does not bother me, but it may bother others). -Control is somewhat clunky. -It may feel tedious at times.
So far, I like what I see, but can it hold my attention? We'll find out soon enough. As soon as I play more, I'll write a full review.
