Sega has continued its ongoing 'What is Shenmue?' video series, with Ryo Hazuki voice actor Cory Marshall taking us through a look at the game's combat and mini-games.

Shenmue places a strong emphasis on combat, where Ryo will learn techniques by reading move scrolls and learning them from various martial artists he meets. You can practice your moves in the park or dojo, which is where Ryo sometimes utters his infamous 'let's get sweaty' line.

If that sounds too boring for you, then you can always head to the local arcades to play perfect conversions of games like Hang-On and Space Harrier.

You can also play darts, arm wrestle, race ducks, or just chill out and have a can of soda.

Shenmue I & II is scheduled for release on August 21 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. In case you missed it, last week's video looked at the various characters that Ryo will bump into in his adventure.

Developer Ys Net is currently working on Shenmue III for PS4 and PC, which is due to ship at some point next year.
