Shenmue

Shenmue's story is okay, basically a generic coming of age story that got dragged out way too long. The best thing about Shenmue is the immersion of being in a small Japanese town, then Hong Kong.

I loved the Telltale Sam and Max series and i loved the Monkey Island stuff.

Basically, I think this game is hurt by being too diverse. The combat in this game is done better in Yakuza and was not interrupted by the adventure parts. The world immersion is good, but it doesn't match any mmorpg for me. And I think the adventure stuff pales to the previously mentioned games.

Yep, the obvious joke.

Come to think of it, if the main character in Shenmue had been say, a cow, working at a forklift factory and fightin' battles, it would have been 10x better.
