Shen Mue creator Yu Suzuki rates children of the 21st century

[12.24.99] » "You're only worth a 33," he tells kids.

   The latest Famitsu has delivered a preliminary verdict on the much anticipated Shen Mue. The final score of 33 (8/9/8/8) is quite respectable and helps assuage fears that the game would be a total bust. However, with a recently reported total budget of over 7 billion yen (nearly $70 million dollars), Shen Mue will need to achieve blockbuster status to be profitable for Sega. Shen Mue goes on sale next week in Japan, with gamers who preordered the title receiving the title as early as the 25th of December.
