Question about Shenmue (DC)

I've heard this game is pretty good and have been thinking about picking it up. I'm finding some good online prices for the game used, but I heard that there's both a Japanese and an English version out there. Is that true? Should I be concerned about unknowingly buying the Japanese version? Call me crazy, but I like to be able to understand what the characters are saying in the games I play.

No to mention, unless your DC is modded, or you get the special boot disc, I don't think you can play the imported version ...

Let me be the first to warn you... Though it is sort of short, the period that you do play it will totally consume your life. This is one of the most creative, and overall fun games ever. Congrats on your upcoming experience...

My brother said the same thing when I got it for him this Christmas(at 19.99 it was a steal). He said he played it for 4 hours the night he got it. He's got an XBox in addition to his Dreamcast so I think he'll probably pickup Shen Mue 2 when it comes out and have his life consumed more
