What are you talking about? Shenmue's shit, and EVERYBODY'S outgrown it. Get with the times, brother. Everybody here prefers Oddworld, anyway.
I hear people going "shit, I put Shenmue in, and it was unbelievable, the most profound experience I ever had up to that point, just really mind-blowing and completely deep on every level, just visually brilliant, I loved the opening sequence, just hooked me" and all that gush. I must have been one of the few who found it boring for the first ten or twenty minutes, before I actually "got" it. Then I couldn't put the fucking thing down. Great stuff. Be sure to get hold of no. 2, which I think is in many ways a technically better game due to its greater variety in activity and more varied environments (although personally I don't enjoy it as much as 1).
