Warts and all, Shenmue's a game unlike any other. The "real world" approach of various NPCs having set schedules, and the overall pace of the game may not click with everyone, and the so bad it's good voice acting is easy to scoff at, but there's something to be said about a game like it that beats to its own tune. Its world's sense of homeliness, simple but engaging story led by an endearing cast of characters, and a scope completely unheard of at time of release, make for a game that, even if not to everyone's taste, is one I think should definitely be appreciated for all it does. A great swansong to Sega's time as a first party developer.
