Shenmu does still top other efforts in the sheer depth of what you can interact with though. GTA basically offers nothing in the way of interacting with objects. Games like Fallout and such do better, in that you can generally shove everything you see into your pockets, but Shenmu has the greatest level of interaction with those objects, with full "pick it up and spin it around, and open it" going on. I can't think of any games that have matched the level of that FREE system.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
