I remember the day i got shenmue so well. I remember opening the epic 4 cd case and reading the booklet. The opening movie was great. I must have spent 1 hour inspecting the whole house opening all the draws, the refig, the roach in the cabanet. There were lots of scenes i only saw once like the gang chasing the homeless guy on bikes with a QTE. The delivering food for the lunch stand girl. The part at the harbor where you take the pipe from the girl. I dont know why they were hard to trigger but it made the game feel more epic. I won a game from the prize draw once and was so amazed. I got number 1 or 4 in the store in yamonese where she calls him a baby but it was only one of the creators of the game (not yu)
The motorcyle race really was cool and unexpected. It was also hard but the song with nozomie was great.
Its funny how he had no emotions and i really love the fan made shenmue video series. http://www.gangentertainment.org/shenmue.html

The first Shenmue is my favorite video game of all time. I think a lot of the people that "hate" the game never made it past the first disc. I'll be the first to admit that the pacing is suspect and that the first disc is nothing more than Ryo being a Japanese Nancy Drew. But once you get past the first disc (when you finally get to take the bus to the harbor) the game picks up considerable pace. It becomes much more action packed and I found myself enjoying the game even more.
It's the only game I've ever played that made me feel like I was part of a new and strange world. Every person had a different personality. Every character had some sort of backstory. Shops closed and opened at different times. Vending machines. Arcades. Convenient stores. Jukeboxes. Toy capsules. Magic Weather. Etc. The game is completely magical. I go back through and I replay the game once a year and it still remains fresh and I find myself discovering new things everytime I play it. The game really wasn't made to rush through and if you take your time you'll see some really cool things. I have one save file where I have all the in game cutscenes and music unlocked (you can view and listen to these on the fourth disc Shenmue Passport).

Sega should release a compilation of Shenmue 1 and 2 on the Wii, call it Shenmue Saga complete with added Wii controls and upgraded graphics.
Then release Shenmue 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360. Do it Sega.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Shenmue is one of the most amazing games ever made. The fact that a sequel to 2 hasn't been made is a crime against humanity.
A CRIME I tell you! >> <<
I would buy a 360 or PS3 for Shenmue 3.

As would I. I haven't bought either yet due to lack of interest, overpriced hardware, reliability, etc.... but Shenmue would certainly change all that.
