Michael A. gave it a10: This is by far the best Dreamcast game. In fact it is my all time favourite game. It pushed the system to it's limit and put other consoles to shame.
Travis G. gave it a10: The best game I've ever played in the RPG genre. I'd wish they'ed release Shenmue I & II on newer gaming systems, because the dreamcast was never very popular, and release Shenmue III.
Brian M. gave it a10: This game is without out a doubt the best game I have ever played. It left me numb when I had finished playing it. An absolutley amazing game, but I'm not going to bother trying to put the beauty of Shenmue into words. Just buy it and you'll love it and it will stay with you for the rest of your life.
David H. gave it a10: Completely and utterly absorbing and a lot cheaper than a holiday to Japan or China :-).
[Anonymous] gave it a10: I think this is one of the best games that I have ever played. It lets you do so much with it. I just wish they would re-release this game on the 360 with Shenmue II and then finish the series with the Shenmue III. I just wish more people gave this game the shot that it deserves
Shawn S. gave it a10: This game was the only reason I bought a dreamcast ....Fantastic game...takes you right into the world and doesn't let you out.
Chris P. gave it a10: The best thing about this game... you can head to an arcade, pay money that you have worked for in the game... to play other games. That... is awesome.
James M. gave it a10: The best game i have ever played. The Graphics, Detail and Gameplay all top quality and still par up with current games today. When i got the game i didnt stop for 8 whole hours, every second gripping!

Jason T. gave it a 10: By far one of THE most immersive games of all time... The environment, plot, character relationships, everything, just sucked me right into this game's world with a deathgrip. I couldn't get enough of that that is Shenmue.
Kazuko N. gave it a 10: This is the best game ever! The graphics are very good for it being on dreamcast. It's a new game style that let's you do what ever you want, even if you want to play games at the arcade or win prizes at the good ol' Tomato Mart. There is no other game better....wait there is. It's Shenmue II. Hehehe.
XISMZERO gave it a 10: Slight problems aside - Shenmue is one of my favorite games... ever! Definitely changed my perspective of games today...
[Anonymous] gave it a 9: This game is fan-damn-tastic!!!
Cedric D. gave it a 10: This game is graphically stunning! The gameplay is the best too! its almost like an alternate universe! i love it!
Quoc L. gave it a 10: THE Game you don't have to miss.
Asd gave it a 5: This game isn't that great. WAAAY over hyped. First there are only about maybe 6 fights until the 3rd disk (which is 10hours later) half of that time is spent in the arcade. This game is very boring. I would say Try before you buy but since the only place you can get it now is Ebay it's a gamble.
Kevin S. gave it a 10: This game rulz! I just wish that they didn't cancel the 2nd Shenmue 4 Dreamcast.
Mikey C. gave it a 10: This is one of the best games of all time. Has to be in the top five best games of all time.
Crazy Taxi gave it a 10: Da best damn game ever.
Ken W. gave it a 9: One of the best games ever! Better than MGS2.
Oscar H. gave it a 10: Shenmue is not a game, it is a lifestyle!! You can if you want to just walk in dobuita talking to people, call people, shoop, play games, spy on people, knock on doors, training your fighting abilities, just hang around, listen to music, by music, by scrolls, look at antiques, visit your friends or something else. Home you can train, fight with Fuku-san, call people and more. I think you know what to do in the harbour.
Dan C. gave it a 10: It was a great game. I just wish the second one will come out faster.
Alex M. gave it a 10: WOW!!!!
Chris B. gave it a 10: What a game...how can anyone dislike this?
