Segas Masterpiece in my collection
Yesterday I bought a Dreamcast *_*! ...mainly it was
because I saw "Shenmue" in the shelf and I always
wanted to play this game.
I already gave it a try yesterday and I specially like the soundtrack and the good english syncro. At it´s time Shenmue was once the most expensive game production...something about 45 Million Dollars. Anyway it´s a milestone in game history because of the high costs and the self-described new Genre "F.R.E.E" (for full-reactive-Eyes-Entertainment) and it appears in many "Best game of all times" lists. ....I guess the Genre includes the term "reactive eyes" because you have to explore almost everything by changing the camera angle or using ego-perspective.
And as far as I know it was the first game who used QTE (Quick-Time-Events)...at least as an exemplum for many titles who include QTE like Resident Evil 4, God of War....

You play as Ryo in a little japanese town called Yokosuka (yes, it really exists) and have to find the murderer of your father via collection clues by talk to the locals. There also is a day/night cycle and the weather changes from time to time. I really like it
and next week I will continue playing....haha the Arcade Center in the game is so cool (you can play classic Sega Games like Space Harrier there) *g*.
aww, and I have to say again..the Soundtrack is so good ^___^.
PS: Tomorrow Franzi, Alex and me will go to Leipziger Buchmesse 2011.
It sure will be funny ^^ since I missed it last year and I will shoot
my new "Industrial Dance at Convention" Video there.
