Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the remastered graphics, engaging story, and overall value for the price of Shenmue I & II. Many appreciate the game's place as a pioneer in the open-world genre, though some find the controls and voice acting to be dated. The HD upgrade is also frequently praised, enhancing the classic experience. However, a few players mention that the game's pacing may feel slow to modern players.

    Great games! I loved these games when they came out. Makes me wish the Dreamcast had a longer lifespan. They do feel a bit aged being they are about twenty years old but still they have great stories and are fun to play.

    Incredible Games, Awful Ports

    Shenmue and Shenmue II are two of the greatest games of all time. Playing through the Shenmue series was and still is an absolutely incredible experience. Almost 20 years later, there is still nothing else quite like it. Therefore, it truly pains me to have to give this collection anything less than five stars. Unfortunately, this collection contains extremely shoddy and subpar ports of these two seminal classics. They are riddled with bugs and have extremely poor audio playback, with inconsistent volume levels, speech samples that are even lower quality than they were on the Dreamcast, randomly missing sound effects, and inaccurate music. The fantastic music in the Shenmue series is an integral part of the experience and it is a crime that Sega managed to mess it up so badly in this HD collection. Ultimately, I would still recommend this if it is your only way to play these games. However, I would highly advise playing the original Dreamcast/Xbox versions if at all possible. While Sega is actively patching this game, there is so much wrong with it that I doubt it will ever be on par with the original games that it is attempting to recreate. After waiting so many years for these two masterpieces to be released on modern platforms, it is a true shame that Sega was unwilling to give them the care that they deserve and do proper justice to Yu Suzuki's original work.

    This is 2 great games for a very modest price. Part 1 hasn't aged particularly well but it is still fun if you have the patience. 2 is a major improvement and us still fantastic today. I can't wait for part 3!

    Great games that finally got re-released on current hardware. They may be slow to develop the story in game but I think wondering around the city is a lot of fun. Get it and get ready for Shenmue 3 coming someday.

    Old school Kung Fu and fun! The graphics, even updated are now a bit dated but the fun gameplay makes up for that. I've been a fan of every game in this series so far!

    great game, great price and package deal. you get 1 and 2 together. however, for such a beloved series i wish they included a limited edition steelbook or something. better yet, do a remake for the series like they did for Yakuza Kiwami.

    Originally released on the Dreamcast (RIP), Shenmue was a game way ahead of its time. It paved the way for future open world games and still is a great game to play despite some poor pacing.

    The grandfather of open world games. May seem slightly dated to some, but the storytelling and charm still come thru. Play these before you get to the third game that will come out next year.

    The games have been ported over to PS4 with better resolutions and textures but is still the classic game, mini games and gameplay from the original game.

    Solid ports for the PS4 (currently playing on the PS4 Pro). Much better value than Shenmue 3. Recommend if you can find a copy on sale.

    This is what I had been waiting for, a remastered of Shenmue. I Always regretted not having had the opportunity to play the second part of this saga and being able to do it on my PS4 now was a big deal for me. I think, all things considered, the game holds up well enough to this day. The story is great and the world in it has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment. I know that compared to the games we have access to today it may seem a lesser game, but if you take into account that this was one the first sandbox games that offer you extra activities from the main story and that it was made almost 2 decades ago, it is an outstanding game.

    This is a pretty decent remaster. Pretty bare bones, not a whole lot was changed from the original games, but improvement in controls and higher resolution make the games more playable than the originals.

    Game plays as it used to. Still amazing to play and the story is great. Unfortunately the bugs are still there from the original and the visuals were not properly remastered. Great value for both games though.
