Forklift driving was one of the most entertaining things on the game. It also adds some realism and nostalgia on the game, driving a forklift for a living and caring crates around the harbor; awesome. Like many, it had also inspire me to work on that field or at least drive one; though that never actually happened... But that's opinion based, therefore I respect anyone's, even if it's being different than mine.
You see, Shenmue has a life simulator in it (you can even see that mentioned in the game's credits), so it has many elements from reality, that some of us may not find interesting. Ergo, Shenmue is an experience, a combination of (arcade) game and real life elements.
