Revisit the original Dreamcast series that launched an action RPG empire with Shenmue I & II for PlayStation 4. An updated user interface provides streamlined gaming experiences, and a choice of modern or classic controls lets you decide how to experience each adventure. Arcade games, duck racing and a host of side activities deliver a break from the game. Shenmue I & II includes faithful recreations of both Hong Kong and Japan for retro-inspired fun.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A Game Like no Other
Shenmue is easily my favorite game of all time. I never grew up in the time when this game first came out in America in 2000 but first played it as a 15 year old back in 2009. Even at that young age emmeresed with games that are technically better looking, this old game on a system I never grew up with gripped me like no game has ever had and still never had to this day. Both of these games have stood the test of time with their deep level of immersion that I have not even felt with any game and with the care and craft that went into making the envoironments you explore. Shenmue 1 is easliy my favorite game of all time and 2 would easliy be in my top 10 and am definetly looking forward to 3 on August 27th 2019. Highly recommended if your tired of the same generic Sandbox games or Fortnight/PUBG clones that are the popular games out today.

Shenmue 2 sucks. Shenmue 1 on Dreamcast was good.
And they charge two different cards twice for 455 dollars and never sent my PlayStation 4 bundle with 3 games and they didn’t give me a refund . Don’t buy this game I don’t even trust Best Buy no more I use to love this store . I had to buy a whole nother PlayStation 4 from someone else.

Precursor to Yakuza series for better and worse.
First, I am a Dreamcast and Shenmue fan. I still own the originals of both. Here's the good and bad of the this updated compilation: THE GOOD: Classic tale of revenge. Wastes no time getting you roped into the story. The characters and environments are memorable. The story is engaging and it's easy to get sucked in for hours. The pacing is slow, but I find it as a comforting zen-like experience. I love that I can remote play on my Vita and enjoy it handheld throughout the house. The games don't seem to take too much HD space on my PS4 either, which is nice. THE BAD: In regards to the core game itself, the game and flow feels dated. Especially if you grew up on anything newer than PS2 era systems. These are basically just ports of a game engine that was released almost 20 years ago. Keep that in mind when it comes to graphics and textures. The controls pre-date the dual analog stick standard. So expect tank controls with minimal right analog support. The audio samples of the voice overs are not very good and you'll definitely notice it when you first play. The combat is based on old Virtua Fighter mechanics which are not great, but it gets the job done. There's not much combat anyway. In regards to the re-release efforts, I hit multiple cutscene glitches. During realtime cutscenes, the camera would change to some random static shot while the music and voiceovers play. Sometimes it's a static shot of a lamp or a static shot inches from a blank wall. I hit these bugs in less than an hour of play. I really hope they patch this soon. The main draw of the game is its ability to pull you in. But these cutscene glitches are immersion breaking. It's unfortunate because the original releases felt so polished. I think there's audio problems when running through the streets that was not present in the original. The sound of the foot steps randomly cuts out. I'm surprised they couldn't improve the NPC pop up. The popup may be worse than the original.
