Shenmue is a very realistic RPG, that takes starts off in a town in Japan. You play the role of Ryo, a young man seeking revenge to the man who killed his father. Shenmue is actually 3 games in 1. First their the RPG part, were you go around talking to people and buying things, ect. Then theirs the QTE battle, were commands pop up on the screen. Eaxample, some guy is coming in back of you and you have to press right, before he gets you. Then there`s the fighting part, which is sort of like Fighting Force. There are not alot of fights, most of the game is the RPG part. You can learn new moves and practice your aquired, moves in the dojo or the parking lot. In Shenmue you can practically do anything, from looking in every nook and crack of your house, to buying a soft drink at the vending machine, or taking care of a little kitten. Shenmmue also comes with a passport cd, which lets you go on the internet to trade toys, or check the status of your game. Graphics The Grapics in Shenmue are amazing. There are a few flaws but that doesn`t really effect the game. Sound Good sound, nice tunes, but the translation is a little badly done, some people really talk s-l-o-w, probably because of translation. Controls The controls take some time to get used to, and I found it hard to move around sometimes. Fun This game is really fun. You can play 4 hours thinking you only played 1, I played it until 3 in the morning. Graphics 9.5 Sound 9.0 Control 7.5 Fun 9.5 To learn more about Shenmue go to www.shenmue.com -Jason
