Title: Shenmue review - NextGen 12/00
Post by: Sega Stylista on May 21, 2010, 12:45:36 pm
Cool find,

found an old issue of Next Gen (U.S. equivalent of Edge in the late 90's early 2k's).

-5 stars, interesting comments

Mainstream gaming, more about story telling than actual gameplay /east rant

boo, Sony-boy!

God Bless, Yu for what he was trying to express in Shenmue and gift to gamers.  No other game compares to the soul-enriching beauty of the Shenmue experience.

What is this? It seems like a corporate mainstream game: Heavy story focus, Mini-games, 'open world'...

Not to mention look at how generic the main character is, just more westernized pandering mainstream stuff. At least don't make it so obvious they ripped off Tom Cruise from Top Gun so much!

Seriously though, I love Shenmue.
