About
Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and 2001, Shenmue I & II is an open world action adventure combining jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, RPG elements, and memorable mini-games. It pioneered many aspects of modern gaming, including open world city exploration, and was the game that coined the Quick Time Event (QTE). It was one of the first games with a persistent open world, where day cycles to night, weather changes, shops open and close and NPCs go about their business all on their own schedules. Its engrossing epic story and living world created a generation of passionate fans, and the game consistently makes the list of “greatest games of all time”.
A tale of revenge.
In 1986, teenage jujitsu artist Ryo Hazuki returns to the dojo of his father, Iwao Hazuki, only to witness his murder by a Chinese man, Lan Di. Lan Di steals a mysterious artifact known as the Dragon Mirror. Ryo vows to avenge his father’s death and sets out tracing Lan Di’s path.
The first game in the series, Shenmue begins the tale as Ryo travels around Yokosuka, Japan, gathering clues about his father’s murder and dealing with nefarious gangsters along the way.
The sequel Shenmue II continues Ryo’s quest, this time crossing the sea to Hong Kong, China. Ryo ventures deeper into the criminal underworld, meeting martial arts masters who aid him on his journey and offer insight into his father’s death, and unravels the mysteries of the Dragon Mirror that his father kept hidden.

Este juego lo jugue en dreamcast hace bastantes años y no pude terminarlo porque perdi el disco 2, ahora me parece genial que a un bajo precio no solo pueda jugar el 1 si no tambien el 2. y maravillosamente bien aunque la pc del trabajo donde lo estoy jugando es malisima y puedo jugarlo a 30fps en 1080p
If you can appreciate the game for what it is and wanted to do and want to immerse yourself in the past, this is it! The overly detailed world of Shenmue will stick with you! It is perfect in it's own way, there are no annoying bugs, but there is also a lot of missing user-friendliness. That being said, I think everyone *can* enjoy this game, given the right mindset/time in their life. There are many lessons to be learned, many laughs to be had and many menial tasks to be done. I enjoyed every second of Part 1 and I already know I will love Part 2 even more, I can't wait to walk through Kowloon walled city!
it's a masterpiece
내가 무슨 부귀영화를 누리겠다고 이 게임을 끝까지 하고 있는 건지 모르겠다 고전식 그래픽이 취향이라서 열심히 하고는 있는데 할 수록 시간낭비라는 생각밖에 안 든다.. 마땅히 할 컨텐츠도 없으면서 몇십 분 기다리게 하고 맵도 활용 안 하고,;; 일일이 npc클릭하거나 오락실 빠칭코에서 죽치고 앉아있어야 하는 것도 짜증나고.. 지게차 시뮬을 5일째 하다가 빡쳐서 평가남기는 중이다. 차라리 포켓몬마냥 깡패 나타나서 때려잡는 액션요소나 채워주지... 솔직히 고전게임을 지금껏 많이 안 해봐서 그 당시 혁신이었던 게임을 내려치고 있는 걸 수도 있겠지만 이러나 저러나 현대유저한텐 안 맞는 것 같다. 그리고 캐릭터들도 딱히 매력이 없다. 료 얘는 뭔 목석이냐 감정이 없다. 노조미 불쌍해
Encuentro bastante pobre y sin amor el UI, no tiene el estilo del original, nada como al versión de dreamcast, por 1 dolar vale la pena.
1代引导差都是小事,让你干等是真的烦,突然让你明天中午再来,大白天不得睡觉,只能自己找事干,3代把这个改了挺好,直接跳转时间,真是没苦硬吃。 战斗系统挺有趣,用的是3D格斗的机制,更多的偏向于防御,因为成功防御闪避能回血,防御后也能快速回击对方,而3代更偏向进攻压制,毕竟是里门顶肘3嘛。 第一部场景全都是日本,我个人对这个时代的日本没什么兴趣,看着挺萧条的小镇,冬天也显得冷冰冰,一般般。 1代全成就用时16小时,其实流程也不短了,还有很多隐藏的分支我没走到,看大佬还能挖出很多奇奇怪怪的东西,这帮日本制作人是真能藏啊,像三上真司也是在生化危机4藏了一堆东西 2代也打完了,QTE是真的恶心,2代加入了组合键QTE,用格斗游戏搓招的速度会太快,稍微慢一点又不行,有些要方向和按键同时按,有些又是分开,判定很迷,最恶心的是在BOSS战后面加QTE,错一步重新打吧,战斗的结果不在于战斗本身,是QTE决定一切,神经病啊,第一次看见这么搞的,其他游戏最后加QTE顶多BOSS回点血继续打,这个好嘛,从头来过。 两部游戏都没有很恶心的成就,比如钓1000条鱼之类的怪东西都没有,所以耗时还是比较短的,这回世嘉是做了回好事。
7.8 out of 10.
Amazing game. Despite being over 25 years old, the atmosphere in this game assisted by the scenery, music and sound design is just fantastic and makes for a memorable gameplay experience. The quirky dialog adds another fun layer to it as well. The storyline is just great too. A must play!
Shenmue ist ein absolutes Meisterwerk, mit brutalen Alterserscheinungen. In meinen ersten fünf Spielstunden, litt ich wirklich stark, unter dem klobigen Movement, der unberechenbaren Kamera und der sehr dubiosen Steuerung. Doch es lohnt sich trotz, des holprigen Anfangs, dran zu bleiben. Die Story hinter diesen beiden Spielen ist super spannend und bietet viel Tiefe. Die Charaktere sind wunderschön geschrieben und die künstlerische Darstellung der Locations ist einfach nur atemberaubend. Dieses Spiel war seiner Zeit voraus und war der Wegbereiter ganzer Genres und Franchises, welche heute noch unsere Herzen höher schlagen lassen. Der Umfang dieses Spiels ist kaum zu begreifen, wenn man dran denkt, aus welchem Jahr es stammt. Riesige Städte, unzählige Dialoge, Minispiele, Sidequests, Secrets, Collectables, realistische Zeit- und Wetterverhältnisse und und und. Am meisten fiel mir beim spielen auf, wie entschleunigt Shenmue doch ist. Es spiegelt den radikalen Kontrast in dieser ach so schnelllebigen Welt da. Kaum Schnellreisen, Timeskips, schnell wechselnden Szenen und dazu diese ewig langen Dialoge und Cutscenes. Teilweise wurde ich als Gen Z Spieler sehr ungeduldig, aber solche Medien tun auch mal gut. Eine klare Empfehlung für all diejenigen, welche eine schöne Geschichte erleben möchten und dabei keinen Wert auf heutige Standards legen.
Un clásico para todos los amantes de los videojuegos.
