Nah, it's just made exactly the way an adventure should be.
Good story, good characters and a feeling that you're really there (all those little details and all the people walking around and stuff).
There are a lot of adventure and RPG games around now with big areas to walk around, but Shenmue is one of the only games where all the little alleyways that aren't important are just as detailed and interactive as the main streets.
If it doesn't come out as a game, the story is strong enough to make a decent book or movie. I prefer it to be a game but I sooo want to know what happens next that I'd read/watch/play any future version and format that tells me more about what happens.
