Shenmue was a game that was ahead of its time.
The game was supposed to be part RPG, and part fighting with a bit of adventure thrown in.
 (Note: it was supposed to be a Virtua Fighter Rpg)

The music was grand. While the game has some flaws, it was still a game that helped pave the way for expansive videogames of today.

Shenmue Saturn Tech Demo : The game had some humble beginnings, with it originally being planned for release on the Saturn.

Shenmue Online 2006 Video (Part 1 of 2) : Now there is sort of a sequel coming out, but not in the same way as part 2. This one is online, for now only been announced for Asian markets. Not looking too bad at all.
