Customer Ratings & Reviews

replay one of most famous rpgs series before the 3rd one comes out. these 2 games came out for the older generations. the remasters are not that big of an improvement if you want current generation graphics. just good for those that haven't played it before

This probably just wasn't for me, but as a new player I wish there was more signals to where to go rather than just "wander around asking people things" or "wander around to get your stuff back".

It's an alright game that pretty much revolutionized open-world games with set-timers. Yakuza game series would not exist without Shenmue. Not for everyone.

First time playing and I just can’t get into it. Heard lot of good things about this game growing up but after playing countless of modern games, it was difficult for me to enjoy this game.

I bought this after watching someone play it, but honestly I just can't get into the game of running from one spot to the other and that's it.

a solid remaster of dreamcast classics and a must play before you play part three

To enjoy the game you really have to look at it as a product of it's time. That means accepting the endless waiting for things to progress and the dated graphics and the very clunky controls, If you can accept that, you can find some enjoyment, but even than it doesn't excuse Sega's very minimal effort in bringing this to current consoles.

A classic game that may have dated mechanics, but still a fun game to play.

It’s ok I thought the gameplay would be better and graphics.

Slow fighter continues the saga, but offers very little action

A botched collection with two games I loved so much back in the day

Has not aged well, and is not very fun, but looking forward to shenmue 3

bought it and started playing but lost interest rather quickly

I absolutely love the first two entries in this series. After waiting nearly 20 years, this game is a huge and tedious dissapointment.

While Shenmue was a pioneer of its time, I would recommend to stick with the games that it inspired, such as Yakuza.

This should have been fully remastered to coincide with the 3rd game mission failed

These games do not hold up to any modern standards at all. Not fun. Don't be blinded by nostalgia.

Shenmue I & II Launch Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Trash.

The originals on the SNES cannot compared to this. These remakes are just perfect. We didn’t really have any issues actually playing the game. I do remember the audio would occasionally cause problems like cause humming or just not work. So sometimes we would just shut off the audio completely. We looked up a fix for it which involved changing the settings on your ps4 and they didn’t in the problem. But the audio problem didn’t occur for the whole game and they may have patched that up by now. It’s definitely something you can work around.

This was purchased from BB along with several other games during the Black Friday sale. I have recently completed Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata which I highly recommend. Started Shenmue I yesterday and the story immediately grabbed me and I am very interested in playing Ryo. I think the graphics and audio are fine. What earns Shenmue I a one star rating is the virtually unplayable controls. Holy guacamole Batman, I have never experienced anything quite like this before. Move the camera and it also zooms. Standing still and try to turn ..... if you don't wait until Ryo completely stops moving and touch the stick again there is no telling which way he is going to end up facing. I have never been prone to motion sickness but this game gives it to me. While I had no expectations for graphics or sound, I did have expectations that the movement would be normal (easy to control). Pay close attention to what the others that give the game less than 4 stars have to say. The controls are so bad I would return the game for refund if I could.
