His name is Ryo,but he isn’t dancing on the sand. Instead he’s after his father’s murderer -Lan Di – and needs to discover his connection with the “Three Blades” inShenmue.
Walk around town, talk with the locals and gain the information necessary tocomplete your tasks, but the problem is that likeThe Nomad Soul,it’s not the “go anywhere, do anything” game we’ve been promised, but containsmuch more linear gameplay.
Speak to anyone who has nothing to do with the plot and they’ll blank you. Gosomewhere similar and you’ll usually be denied access.
However, I never thought I’d have to spend time chatting to sailorsin gay bars round Japan’s answer to Canal Street!
