Yakuza seems like a decent alternative. But I really enjoyed the more moral route of Shenmue. Earnestly working for money (except when gambling), playing the arcades, practising moves. There wasn't an element in this game I didn't love. Any alternative would need to contain all of the small things that made Shenmue so great in order for it to live up to it.
I think if Shenmue was re-made for the 360/PS3/PC in today's standards and given a better marketing strategy, it would be huge.
Another great DC product was Sonic's little battle monsters. Remember finding an egg? Save it to memory card, hatch and train your little monster, fight against your friends ones. That was huge!
