let me start this off by saying i have never played Shenmue and i've grown interested wether or not i should spend money on this game. i tend to go for more linear play. an example of games i actually dont care for; resident evil 2 and final fantasy xii. idk bottom line i just dont want to spend money on a game that i might not end up liking. i feel i could potentially enjoy Shenmue but at the same time i have no clue.
