Artist's Comments

Shenmue is one of the series Sega used to be making before they moved their headquarters to Failtown in 2003. The fact that there are only 2 games in this series is further proof of Sega's massive failness.
This character is called Shenhua, and it's also the name of the flowers of the Shenmue tree, which this swing is attached to.

There are very few games which I can say are really flawless. And by flawless, I don't mean "can't be improved", since that's always possible as technology advances (for example, by making better graphics or improving load times). I simply mean that every aspect that is independant from technology, basically the "art of game making" as one could put it, is executed flawlessly.
A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger are 2 among the handful of games that I consider "perfect" among all the games I've played.

However, Shenmue dwarfs both of them. This ridiculously amazing serie's massive epicness is as far as I know, unsurpassed. It is directed majestically and features a play style that is completely unique and unmatched. The charming characters and engrossing storyline work together to create an absolutely absorbing videogame; and the slow paced, "daily life" aspect helps to give the game more credibility and makes the action scenes that much more epic. Never before this game had I felt like I really was in the story, like I really cared for the characters in the game as if they were real people.
Simply put, I hadn't lived until I played Shenmue.
