This game fascinates me as how big a scope it was and the price of development on the Dreamcast.
Sailors?

I've been on this huge Dreamcast revival as of late. I have Shenmue, haven't played it since like 2003. I need to dust it off, as well as Jet Grind Radio and so on.
I just got Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 (love it), Daytona USA, and Fire Pro Wrestling D, all fairly mint condition, for me Dreamcast, too.
Shenmue was sort of early GTA III before GTA III existed.

It's not super-hard to figure out what's what with some of the menu guides online, but I really can't be arsed to go through and rename everyone on the roster in english. So I didn't but the victory road game mode is fun, I mostly just wanted it for the sake of having it.

It's a great game
Shame we won't get a 3 anytime soon, S***.
But it's cool to see Ryo in the Sega racing game (Complete with Forklift)

Love this game, love the sequel even more, and it pisses me off that we're probably never gonna get the finale that it deserves. Great story.

I can list a select number of games that totally changed the way I view gaming, and Shenmue was one of them. Was it before it's time? Possibly, but man was it something else. On a lighter note,

It was ambitious, and could be compelling if you let yourself be immersed (and I definitely did). People just looking at it and playing it now may not appreciate what it was trying to do as the game acts as a bit of its own time capsule (not just of the game's time period, but also of its release period), but if one approaches it from the viewpoint of it being an adventure game (ie : Lucasarts and Sierra style games, and the like), it still holds up rather nicely.
And let's not forget, development for it started way back with the Saturn.

One of my favorite games of all time.It deserves a finale to the story.I cant tell you how much i love this game,despite the english voice overs being utterly terrible to listen to.I will play these Shenmue one and two for ever.Maybe one day a third will be made,if so,it will look incredible on a next gen console! Saying that,Ryo certainly needs a bath and a change of clothes sooner or later...cant be healthy for him to wear the same things over and over again for months on end!

...have you seen a black car? Remember the music for Tomato Convenience Store? Freaking immense!!! It's one of the biggest tragedies in gaming where the series ended up though...unfinished.

Owned both games on the Dreamcast. Loved the first, loved the second one even more. Just very immersive and cool and beautiful. Not the sort of 'pick up and play' game but for those with the time, very involving.

here the series ended up though...unfinished. Well screw them, we don't need them to finish the game. Let's rally together, and create... "Shenmue 3...presented by Wrestlecrap."
