Every gamer owes it to themselves to play these two games. It is the precursor to the games we have today and an epic story to boot. I believe this is the greatest game series ever. Be patient with it and you will be rewarded!

I've waited for this game to return to consoles for a very long time. It was definitely worth the wait! Even though the game was remastered, it was fun and reminiscent of Sega's glory days. It is a game that is worth keeping in your collection.

My review of this game is very biased. Shenmue is one of my favorite games of all time. With that being said, it's gameplay has not stood the test of time. But, I can't recommend this game enough, especially for the price.

Playing this game brings back fond memories of playing the original on Dreamcast. Not much enhancement to the graphics, but the game is much smoother and streamlined. A must play for fans of the franchise.

After all these years it’s Not HD remake but it’s still great. Still beautiful and funny as it was. The voice acting the dialogue but it’s the charm of it all. Pick this up if you never played it or not

Great games, but they're in desperate need of a remaster. I really hope that comes at some point. The camera angles, etc. make it show its age.

Both games I played way back when part one was on Dreamcast and part 2 was on the original Xbox. It is every bit as good as it was back then. Worth the buy especially at the price.

I first played Shenmue when I had a Dreamcast back in 1999. It was amazing and ahead of it's time. This restoration is the ultimate way to play Shenmue 1 and 2

I enjoyed playing the Shenmue games on my Dreamcast years ago, and now you can replay them on your XBox One, or discover them for the first time. The games run smoothly, but some parts of the game definitely show their age. Still, a fun pair of games to play.

Shenmue was my favorite game on Dreamcast and playing through it again is so nostalgic. I lived in Japan for 4 years and this game nails the environment perfectly. If you love a good story and are a lover of Japanese culture playing this game is a must!
