yakuza and sleeping dogs? it's not exactly like it, because they have a lot more action and the pacing, but the whole asian setting makes it close - however, the level of close personal relationships between the characters is not there.

shenmue has this sort of melancholy and ominous vibe, because of the rain, the voice actors, the music, open yet constricted feel...

heavy rain sort of gave me the same feeling too - to me it "resembles the essence," but doesn't duplicate it (obviously not set in asia).

People say yakuza. But I couldn't even play through that. It got sent to the bushes within 10 minutes of playing

Agreed. Mechanics and visuals were terrible.

I believe no game has come close. Shenm ue was ahead of its time

Man I was so geeked to play that Yakuza shyt cause I kept hearing about how similiar it was to Shenmue but like dude said, that shyt got the gas face quick.

Best thing about that fukking series was shooting pool. I used to pop that shyt in just to hit the bar to play billiards and hear this song.:dj2:
