One of the best for the Dreamcast.

User Rating: 8.1 | Shenmue: Isshou Yokosuka DC
By ptoscano | Review Date:
Shenmue is a RPG for the Sega Dreamcast that was released on November 6, 2000. The game is about Ryo Hazuki who is trying to find Lan Di the man who killed his father. The game is pretty revoltionary in that the game plays in real time and the game also has its own real time weather system. The weather system is pretty cool with having sunshine, cloudyness, rain and snow. You are also able to choose from Graphics: The visuals are pretty amazing for it being nearly 7 years old. The games integration from morning noon and night goes by nicely and the rain and snow look pretty realistic. Also the game also rarely slows down when there are numerous people wondering around the shopping district of the town.

Sound: The sound is pretty good and ranges from the opening of doors to the honking of cars. The game also contains traditional Japanese music

Replayability: The replay value for Shenmue is not that great with no real reason to replay it you get no real added features after completing the game.

Overview: Shenmue was a pretty revolutionary game for its time and since then have not played a game like it. The game is one of the best looking for the Dreamcast and has a classic story and is a good buy if you dont already have it
