I'm a massive Shenmue fan. I play games regularly since I got a Spectrum 48k in 1982, and I can easily say the Shenmue games are my favourite games ever.
I love everything about them, from the story, characters, setting, freedom, the incredible soundtrack (I have hundreds of tracks from the game on my PC), it's simply an incredible experience.
Like Stocka mentioned when I play it it's like I start a new life, not a new game.
I would love to see a third game, although frankly I don't believe in the article from Kikizo (it's incredibly vague). We'll probably never see a new chapter of the game, but at least we had 2 brilliant releases that I love to play over and over again.
Stocka, don't miss Shenmue II. It's funny, it's a continuation of the game but in some ways it's quite different.
In the first Shenmue you have a "small" setting in which you get to know pretty much every character, you have lots of interaction with objects, everything's more familiar.
In the second Shenmue release you go to a foreign land, and at first you kind of feel lost (I'm not saying this in a bad way, it's just like the character would feel), since it's a much larger setting and it's a place unknown to him. You get less interaction with objects, but a lot more to do and to see. It's simply incredible that if you visit a few buildings and see places and apartments that have nothing to do with the story they will have different layouts and furniture, it's incredible the level of detail of the game.
