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.

Despite this game being over a decade old, I would say it's aged well. This game isn't a remake, but rather a port with some improved visuals and QOL additions.

With Shenmue 3 coming soon, Shenmue 1 & 2 is an awesome way to prepare. Both games come in one package so you get 2 great games and it's not expensive.

This is a port of the Dreamcast and Xbox games that were out 15+ years ago. There are minor areas that need polish like the controls could have been updated for the modern day controllers on PS4.

Relived so many childhood memories thanks to this remaster. A must have for anyone that played them when they first came out on the Dreamcast.

If you are too young to remember the Dreamcast or if you want to experience these games on a modern system then these games are for you. They are true to the originals but add improvements. You can fast travel to other locations which speeds up the game and you can control the camera with a second thumb stick. The Dreamcast's biggest weakness is its lack of a second thumb stick. Load times are also reduced to a momentary pause. No more hearing the Dreamcast laser grinding its way to the next area. If you found the old games boring, these won't change that.

17 years after originally playing this, and the game is as exciting and fresh as the first time. Some bugs, but almost near perfect HD upscale port.

Quasi-Open World Experience

I wasn't a big Sega fan in the late 90's and early 2000's, and I missed out on the whole Dreamcast era of console gaming. Thankfully, Sega decided to produce a re-release of parts 1 and 2 for current-gen systems so today's gamers and experience the sprawling world introduced here. Play gatcha-pon machines, drive forklifts, fight bad guys, watch the clock, and run back and forth a lot. ;-)
Although the Yakuza series might do many of these things better nowadays, Shenmue was quite ahead of its time and well worth a play.

The game is exactly what yous expect if you played it the first time, but there are some technical errors. Also, the controls are sort of clunky and have not aged very well.

At almost two decades old these games are finally able to be played by a majority of gamers out there. You won't be disappointed.
