  • I searched for a long time to see what this game was like, and this is the first video I've found that actually explains it more than "this game is soooo amazing!" thank you for that.

  • @kushandcocaine Ooooh, I used to play, N64 but not much. I only play the pokemon battle games(That was ace) :P

    Yeah, I'm not even intend to play games that rely more on online gaming. Piss of craps like CoD..

    As far as games with Solid storyline... I play Metal Gear Solid. 4th wall breaking, Understanding the story and learning life through a game(That's how Hideo Kojima want the players to be)..

  • @kushandcocaine @kushandcocaine It's called "forgotten about it" when I said I have now cause I looked it uppppppppppp.

    Don't play games anymore? How come??

  • @kushandcocaine Do you have a problem with me of not heard of N64? In fact I have, I have COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN of N64.

    I wasn't a heavy gamer as a child so I'm glad I didn't even own a N64 when another family member did.

    I only owned a playsytation at that time.

    Lived under a rock as a child? How old is that kind of line. I lived under a house where I grew up as a none-heavy gamer. A better life style than you. :)

  • @kushandcocaine

    Are you really assuming I'm 10? If I'm 10 then I wouldn't have played Shenmue 1 and 2.

    Idiot. :) Get a brain with common sense.

  • psone > dreamcast

  • @TheSuperVillainDoom Nobody agree with your simple-minded opinion because Shenmue was the best and STILL is the best. :)

  • @SPGenerationUK how am i simple minded? How can something be "was" and "still is" at the same? I think you meant to say "always has been" but i digress. Shenmue was a great game. One of my all time favorites. Although you cant deny the fact that the dreamcast only had a few gems while the psone had dozens.Metal Gear Solid, Tony Hawk , Tenchu, tekken, Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy VII, silent and Resident Evil. Even with all that N64 is better than both systems. imho'''

  • @TheSuperVillainDoom Do not care if play station had more games. In fact saying a playstation console is better than Dreamcast even now makes the playstation OVERRATED.

    Seriously, Dreamcast deserve more look at and Shenmue franchise deserve more fan base. The game is like a Metal Gear Solid quality without weapons.

    People are asking for Shenmue 3 and Yu Suzuki this year, say that SAGA will let him make Shenmue 3!.

    What you think?

  • @SPGenerationUK i didnt say it was better because it had more games. im saying it is better because it had BETTER games overall... i had both consoles, and i played playstation way more because of all the great games it had. i only played dreamcast for shenmue, soul caliber, marvel vs capcom 2, and jet grind radio.... i would love a shenmue 3. and as i said before N64 pwns both systems :P

  • @TheSuperVillainDoom I'm sorry, NEVER heard, seen or played a N46 console so I don't know if that 'pwns' both console. :S Oh well!

  • @SPGenerationUK how are you a gamer but you never heard of the N64!?!??! that's insane....

  • @TheSuperVillainDoom It must be my memory. Looked up N64 and I remebered! That console and Dreamcast are both powerful at that time!

  • shenmue is the best fuckin dreamcast game ever.and its my 4th favorite game of all time.such a great experience

  • love the fatboy slim bg music lol! you totally nailed 1999 man!

    shenmue 3 can still come out people, look at duke nukem forever lmfaoooo

  • qte was born here

  • 1000's people? I'm sorr Shenmue is great forit's time but it doesb't have 1000+ people to talk to. Maybe 30 to 50 max

  • @oasisbeyond it has hundreds

  • my top 5 games

    shenmue

    streets of rage 2

    ocrina of time

    resident evil code veronica

    sonic the hedgehog 2

  • i cant believe gamespot gave this game a 7.5 rating wft. its in the same league as ocrina of time surely.

  • Your 'review' is kinda shallow. You're just saying 'That's amazing and this is amazing and those are amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing..' without ever going into detail and explaining why exactly it's so 'amazing'.

  • It makes me proud to say that i own a working dreamcast. It is one of the best systems ever made along with the N64 and PS2. Sony was dicks to dreamcast so they can hype the PS2 but you gotta remember that the PS2 is also an amazing system.

  • the reason i think this game was so good was because it was like a rpg/action/adventure/fighter/p­uzzle/strategy type genre its in a class of its own...it had tons of fighting moves, mini games and collectibles lol forklift races and who doesnt like playing those sega saturn games at the youarcade or the hazuki residence =P ...sooo many games in this one game!! my brother hates rpgs or any game that takes a long time to beat but even he loves the game dreamcast here i come! i am gona buy one

  • nice vide, i bought dreamcast month ago 4 this game so what can i say:) b2w u must buy a better mic u know that heh...

  • Great review and tribute to Shenmue nice one brother!

  • After 10 years of waiting, now I think it's kinda cool that we'll probably never see the end to Shenmue.. I hate goodbyes.. So it's like neverending story, you can imagine yourself. It adds to the mystic feel of the game. That game is legendary and will always be. But for me the main appeal of the game is the soundtrack, I think it is phenomenal in its quality and it really makes the game so touching..

  • Wow that game was made in 99? It looks like a game made in atleast 02 or 03.

  • Is Garth Marenghi narrating?

  • We need shenmue 3 asap, i need to know what happens!!!

  • THE BEST GAME EVER MADE UNDERLINED AND FULL STOP. Anyone who is interested in a SHENMUE 3 please join this fan campaign facebook group i helped make, thanks. SHENMUE 3 !!! TARGET 500,000 + MEMBERS. ALL FANS NEEDED! (copy and paste the group name and it should come up) Everyone welcome to join, arigato.

  • Never played this but it's pretty much a spiritual prequel to the yakuza series (also made by sega, who HAVENT gone bust!). Even the graphics look the same as well as the gameplay/ focus on immersive story and world/minigames etc. Definitely try Yakuza series if you liked this. Haha even the little chase sequences are copied. Yakuza probably a lot lower budget though and smaller :(. Pity everyone likes crap games like mario instead of quality high budget worlds like this.

  • @valleyshrew ... how is Mario a crap game?

  • i couldnt watc it with that blaring music.

  • Just because Shenmue had amazing graphics and realism, and super high production values doesn't mean that it was remotely fun. I play games for fun, not for hyper-realism. My real life has enough realism in it thank you very much :P

  • um shenmue is one of the greatest games period are you fucking on drugs? lol

  • @Commentator9000 But it was fun and the story was epic.

  • @Commentator9000 Shenmue made me feel like I was the main character in a deep way, unlike any other game to date. It just offers an imersion into it's world, following a greatly scripted story that delivers emotion like very few, but at the same time a sense of liberty.

    Imo more games should be like this...an escape to another reality, not just all the senseless shooting in modern FPS...

    I'm sorry you don't feel the same way...I guess this game is art...not everyone can apreciate it. :P

  • @Commentator9000 Yeah, but is it every day that you have your dad killed by a Chinese guy, wearing a dress?

  • Pretty much

  • masterpiece.

  • 2 best game series ever shenmue 1 and 2 besides metal gear solid series both great games though =)

  • @dohyou u can contact me by email if u want id sell u one lol i have 2 next week ;) Got a gamecube + dreamcast for 30 euros muahahha great deal heh? xD

  • @dohyou nah a dreamcast costs only 40 Euros in europe, just order one from here ;)

  • @nightvision01 298.75 i got on google ;)

  • @dohyou

    Go to a local bootsale you can get some great bargains for stupid amounts of money. i bought a dreamcast with sonic adventure, crazy taxi, ready 2 rumble boxing and fighting force 2. came with 2 controllers and leads but no vmus and all i payed was £5!!!!

  • best game ever. Miss the feeling

  • Gollum

  • This game has the exact same problem of the Dreamcast (The greates game console ever launched), it's TOO AHEAD OF IT'S TIME, and people can't seem to adapt to so much... What a shame. Plus you have to have in mind that big companies like Sony did everything they could to stop Dreamcast's hype so their PS2 sold well... R.I.P. Dreamcast, just like many famous people, you were killed for being too good and ahead of your time.

  • if only this game would never be released it wont be so much better

    sega makes somany good games so without shenmue they would still be in the market and make alot of good games

    shenmue 1 and 2 is not worth in my opinion the money sega could have put on 50+ sega dreamcast games

    if they wanted a game for fanboys they could havestarted by releasing segagaga worldwide

    this game is great but like I said not worth it when sega could have made 50+ other games

  • Trilogy. I heard about 16 chapters - Shenmue 1 - chepter 1, Shenmue 2 - chapters 3-7.

  • I just won this on ebay! I can't wait to play it!!

  • they should make Dreamcast 2 and release number 3. :(

  • this is on shenmue 2 video

  • the intro was awesome

  • just turn the music off for the love of god i beg you....

  • there probily will be a shenmue 3 cos in sonic and sega all stars racing was relesed just recently and ryo is in it with his motor bike

  • is this an rpg?

  • Fuck you!

  • Why they didnt' released Shenmue 3 ????

  • they didn't release it because of sales. the first game had a budget of $70 million. To make that back everyone who had a dreamcast would have had to buy atleast 2 copies.

  • 1:28

    It's boring and predictable but that doesn't matter because it's an amazing game despite being boring and predictable. Does anyone follow his logic?

    Who cares if you can talk to anyone? Only a couple of them say anything worth listening to

  • @WorkSucksMedia true, I played it some month ago and every door I knock its always "no one is home"

    never could I attack random people and maybe at the end fight the police

    still a GTA game with full voices for all chars and alot of fanboy stuff (hudden stuff from older games)

  • @akumie would have been nice, not like gta 4

    Gta 3 would have been good for example if every video you find (I think there are 100 videos to find) had some small video clip of past games made by the company who made the gta series

  • Comment removed

  • meh i think its underrated

    after 20 years of gaming its

    my favourite game ever

  • no it isn't. If anything it's underrated.

  • music is too loud

  • this game is the best game i've ever played ever

    guys do u have any idea about part 3 ?

    i don't believe any rumors anymore :@

  • Could've done without Fat Boy Slim

  • is it worth paying 25$ for this ?????

  • @sally449 its worth paying 50$

  • @balaperdida Its worth paying $70. I'm glad I still have it in MINT condition.

  • @DonGenerico88 if you are talking about the game i picked mine up for $14

  • @51rickjames I bought this game the first week it came out for $55 and 10 years later I still have it in EXCELLENT condition, ALL 4 disc NO scratches, with its original case and booklet.

  • @DonGenerico88 my disk(S) are in PERFECT condition i have the case and booklet and my dreamcast is in EXELLENT condition and the game still freezes on me sometimes

  • @51rickjames haha I'm glad my game doesnt freezes.

  • @DonGenerico88 ya i found out why it freezes though it is because i went to a different local befor completing somthing BUT IT STILL DOES FREEZE!!!

  • I just downloaded this amazing game,really like it allot...started off on s2,but felt I was missing to much of the storyline.

  • I just beat shenmue wow what a game!!!!

  • Do you have dreamcast or an emulator??

  • @RacoonCH a dreamcast...

  • @ImperviousMason I've beat the second one. I dont understand why sega didnt released the third episode...so sad :(

  • @RacoonCH Not enough sales of the 2nd one.

  • the only thing i didnt like about shenmue was the clunky controls, everything else was awesome. one of the best games for dreamcast imo.

  • not really.  it is easy to understand

  • AHHH i just bought it and now i can't get it to go past the first loading screen. I wonder if it is my Dreamcast.

  • tilt your dreamcast i had the same problem your having

  • AHHH FREAKING THANK YOU!

  • This is complete nostalgia for me.

    I picked up this game for an hour and left it for a week as I thought it was too slow as well. Picked it up one weekend and as I worked out what I was doing and the gradual story-line this is unbelievably addictive gameplay. I almost want to visit Japan now because of this game! It's like living another life.

    AMAZING. :)

  • Must agree, it wa slow but then I found a map on the wall on some street and now its a bit easier, still anooying to like have to go back to ur house every day and the fact u need to talk to like 30 people when u ask the same thing, like 2 of 30 people know what happened to the black car LOL

  • the guy who broke his back is right by that lil store that u can go into its right before u go through the grass

  • yeah I know, right now I have to talk to like 15+ people then I can go to some big road with many cars

  • Is their a Shenmue ROM?

  • no idea, there is a iso file thought so u can burn the game...but I bought the game since a game costingg 70.000.000 just had to be bought for respect to sega

  • what you cant have arm wrestles in shenmue 1 can you ?? if so then where ?

  • well said mate! EAT SHIT XBOX3s4!

  • Sega has a tendency to do this kind of thing. If they'd hype and advertise in the US like most other companies, and like they do in Japan, they may actually make money back. Yakuza 3 isn't looking like it's gonna get brought over, and Shenmue 3 will probably never happen, as sad as that is.

  • it is a great game, im glad i had shemue 2 on dreamcast version they spoke in japanese, not english crap acting version,

    there was so much to do in this game,

    i wish new yakuza would come to ps3 in europe, and translated, cause its similar to this, guess its never coming, like shenmue 3, if i would be billionare, i would give them all the money they needed to make shenmue 3 or maby dreamcast 2!!.

  • Go Dreamcast! This game was really touching and man.... Nonstop action and drama. This game has the best storyline ever, and could even beat the critics today!

  • Do you know where sailors hang around?

    I see them at night, at bars.

    Is that where they are?

    hahahaha this game had the best voice acting.

  • I just did that mission today? :D

  • bro u need to turn the music down. I can barley hear your voice!!

  • the main reason i bought xbox 360 over ps3 was part 2 of this series.

  • I just wanted to say i would want a game instead of a book like i read books but i would just wait it out for the 3 one it will come just wait. And when it does we will all have a party. :D

    ..... i am still on the first one :( i got it not to long ago :( but it is super awesome fun :D

  • what SEGA has money they will finish it? what are you talking about they just make games and not system anymore, and since this is a game they can finish it what are you talking about?

  • you know they made a beta system in like 2004 but scrapped it because the ceo or someone said they wouldn't release it but, anyway sega games are great i mean bioshock ahh that was great it doesn't say sega but sega owns the 2k brand and that's who made it

  • its a great game but i like shenmue 2 better

  • I still have me dreamcast just for the game it's amazing I love it just completeed 1 again and starting 2 again, best game i have played by far

  • the whole production took over 70mil...

    shame it didnt get out there like GTA

  • Whats the name of the song, i looked through all the comments but no ones said it :(

  • praise you - fat boy slim

  • Hmm, I would agree with the book. if the 3rd game never came, then why not a book? Also, Im going to pick this up.

  • Thanks dude...I'll check it out!

  • whats the name of the song!!!

  • praise you - fat boy slim

  • thank you man :)

  • You can get a job in the game? Holy shit!

  • Yeah it the first one its part of the plot. You work at the harbor to secretly stop a harbor gang and get info on the main bad guy.

  • SEGA didnt go bust they nearly did but going 3rd party saved them.

    it's a shame no other develpment company is willing to make a giant budgeted game like this

  • I have no idea why this game didn't make a hit!!!!!!????? This game was so epic, why were Dreamcasts not a hit either!!??? It was a great console on a legendary game! Why didn't it make a hit when Dreamcasts graphics and overall performance was better than most consoles around at that time, and Shenmue was most certainly the best game around at that time!!

  • Console:No third party support

    Game:in console that has no third party support.

    It should be a hit. too bad it isnt.

  • What do you mean by third party support?

    And what you're saying is that if Shenmue was on the PS1, it would have made a hit?

  • Well most people owned a ps1. There were a lot of games for. Dreamcast has a lot of good games but not as much. There were not as much little companys that were making games on dreamcast. That is what i mean by third party support. More people would have the system i the shells would been full of different games and a lot of good ones..

  • if you like this game,then try yakuza on the ps2 ,made by the same people whio created shenmue.

  • Microsoft should release this on XBL, even though at 2.4 to 3.6GB it is a hell of a download.

  • If they remake it using DirectX 9.0c, then it's size gonna be under 1GB!

  • Remake is expensive, might as well make a brand new game. Port and compression are more likely.

  • no because the XBOX 360 is a peice of shit

  • @Ajt8000; may be shit, but at least it HAS some games.

    Anyway, Microsoft owns the Shenmue license so they are the ones who are going to host it if anyone.

    And I'm sorry but even though I own a PS3, I know Sony wouldn't ever host this franchise and they've consistently mishandled downloadable games.

    PS: You can own and enjoy a PS3 without hating everything else.

    (I also doubt Wii's virtual console could technically handle emulating it)

  • doesnt it burn out quickly? idk i don have one lol im happy with my pc

  • this game would have been sick as hell if it didn't have to load each time i went into a building. i cant tell you how many minutes i had to wait just getting into a bar; only to accidentally leave and then reenter and waste time

  • dont get me wrong i loved the game, you gave a great review. but I just couldn't stand that he game has 3 cds and still in the same place, and it ended in a cliffhanger (I had the game before pt 2 came out) it took me 6 months to beat that game and when it was going off all I could say was "thats it?, thats it?!" kinda of a let down I'd say.

  • GReat review..i LOVED Shenmue!!, ur review was Awesome, atleast u could have reduced the volume of the background music it was really getting irritating!!

  • Loud applause!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3:47 Shenmue II, WHAT?

  • 3.37, Gollum?

    My precious!

  • in my opinion since sega screws up with sonic a lot lately they probably shouldnt make another shenmue and if they did they probably would screw up anyway

  • what the hell? graphicks are better then in the sequel

  • great review! it sounded slightly sarcastic when you sai sadly he dies. it made me laugh, I just bought a dreamcast on ebay today so ill be getting this

  • THE BEST GAME EVER!!!

  • SHENMUE ROKS!!!! to hard and long though, i still haven't beaten it ,played it a three months.

  • played it through till the very end, and its sequel.. both brilliant.. loved them.. I have them both, immaculate condition with everything - UK versions anyway (60hz options)

  • it is definitely a shame that hardly anybody seemed to care about them.. the story never was wrapped up by shenmue II..

  • thanks i will buy this now with a dreamcast on ebay, thanks again
