SQXO Writes: Shenmue is a great game thats worth a look if you like playing through the old classics. However, you absolutely need to know what youre getting yourself into before you start, or youre not going to have a good time. This is not a quick game, and its not one youre going to speed run with any real satisfaction. If youre after a game where you can sit back and immerse yourself, and time is of no concern to you, you may be onto something Shenmue has a rich and wonderful world to explore. Just hope that the bugs mentioned above are fixed before you play though. Theres nothing that ruins a game like not being able to see the cutscenes.
