Shen Mue demo so many times. It also features anime girls with large breasts, which is the requirement for just about any third-party game that ships these days. From the start of the game, you can select one of five perky anime girls to help you out, then you re taken to a training area where the game walks you through the basic command set. NEC also deserves a smack to the backside for leaving out VGA support or maybe high-resolution monitors would just show how painfully average this game really looks. If you re looking for eye candy, play something else.
Battles are turn-based, and exist on a tiled map.
Then again, the FMV cutscenes aren t bad, showing off some decent art direction and solid cel animation. NEC will have its hands full translating this beast and we wouldn t be surprised if they eliminated the spoken dialogue altogether. Weird stuff for sure. Our advice is to hold off until something with more substance makes its way onto the Dreamcast. Look . . .
