Lots of games have sequals and expansions but i think Shenmue is breaking a new ground with its "series" idea.

Its an amazing accomplishment to be able to make so many parts to a game (as we've been told) and still make each one very special. I've heard about some of the things you do in the game (as in situations) and it sounds completely breath taking !
All these seperate "episodes" are sure to combine into a great story and i can't wait to get my mits on it on friday :-))

Some people might think its a con to have so many parts to a game. But personally i think it really increases the life of a console to have a game like this.
And with each game looking to be massive it'll keep you busy while also making you drool with anticipation for the next one :-)

For the first time, players will be completing a game and then be thinking of what might happen next and what twists may come up.
Personally, i love a great story in my games cause it shows so much more effort has been put into it. And now it looks as though Sega will have one if not the very best story on the market.

Overall though i hope other companies look at this idea of a big ongoing story that can be made into a similar series.

Except that Oddworld Inhabitants already did it with the planned Oddworld series...
