Shenmue had such a ridiculous attention to detail, but most of it was wasted on superfluous crap. Collecting toys, driving forklifts and playing older Sega games lose their novelty after a while.

I'm glad Shenmue II cut most of the unneeded fat from the first game, but some reason I lost interesting before even reaching the third disc.
