    Shenmue The Anime - Final Ratings

    6 - it was fun and had some extra scenes over the game bit. However, the poor fight scenes were pretty unforgivable in a shenmue based series and I don't think Yokasuka was given time to breathe. Will instantly resubscribe if S3 gets the anime treatment but would much prefer S4 proper and...

    Random Shenmue III Thoughts

    I think the UK still had a very strong videogame magazine culture when shenmue came out and that would have helped a lot. Most of us at the time had an interest in developers, an emotional investment in the Dreamcast and sega etc. There was a ready made fanbase for a well crafted game like shenmue.

    SHENMUE III - REVIEW ROUNDUP

    Wich games have been remotely able to surprise you as Shenmue did?

    Monkey island - the humour, varied gameplay and scale were incredible. I still quote the swordfight insults today. Another World - graphics were stunning, soundtrack and set pieces were unique and the co-op with npc was really novel. The blaster/shield mechanic was cool as well. Big cliffhanger...
