'''Shenmue''' is an {{c|action-adventure}} game, originally released in Japan in 1999 for the {{c|Sega Dreamcast}}, and then localized in North America and Europe.


At the time, '''Shenmue''' was without a doubt the most immersive and realistic game ever created - and with a rumoured $70,000,000 budget, it's easy to see why. The game's creator Yu Suzuki coined the term "Free Reactive Eyes Entertainment", or ''FREE'', to describe his venture into a previously-uncharted depth of interactivity and detail in a game world.
