 Dont Miss this Great Game !!!!!!!!!!! September 22, 2008
Vash (hell)
I had finished Jade Empire Twice on x box , and needed a fresh challenge...
Yakuza kept me very happy , once i learned the fighting style .
The story and gameplay is varied enough and there was even a stealth mission !
Its not a Gta style game , thank goodness for that . I would hate for Gta
to take over the market
To miss this game would be a shame if you have a ps2 lurking in a corner
feeling a bit unloved treat it and yourself to this.

I bought this game totally blind , i read no reviews and took a chance, I have to say im pleasantly surprised . Ok the fights are repetative but the story is very involving and well thought out, the best thing about this game though is Yakuza himself,he is a beast, a fighting machine, hes great if you learn all the moves, overall a good buy for me ,hope you enjoy as well...

Back in the dreamcast days Sega really was just about the best developer out there, they made creative fun games that took big risks and although it didnt always pay off for them it always payed off for gamers but since going 3rd party the quality of there games had decreased drasticly to the point of sonic riders and shadow the hedgehog, but with reacent releases such as yakuza(and the sequal out in japan), sonic Wii, monkey ball 3 and virtua fighter 5 there seems to be hope.
The basic story goes your charicter(kazuki i think his name is?) covers up for his mate and takes the fall for killing his boss he is sent to prison for 10 years and when he comes out there is a war going on between different yakuza families and 10 billion yen missing kazuki and a detective start investigating and this is where you start off.
The game is set in large open city lit up by awsome looking neon lights there are shops and people every where and side missions all over the place, you want to get drunk and see a striper just go to one of the strip bars or howabout play some baseball? just go to the batting cage i spent ages just running around the place checking out different shops and such.
But back to the main game there will always be a clue telling you where to go next and ultimatly it will lead you to fighting.
Fighting is a big part of yakuza the fighting system is simple but fun where in shenmue you have a fighting system more like virtua fighter or something yakuza feels more like streets of rage you gan grab your opponent and throw/punch/smack him in to a wall, different punch and kick combos, stamp on them and pick just about anything up(bike's,bats,golf culb,advertising boards,bins,chairs etc) and beat them with it its great fun and the more people you beat up the more you can upgrade your self to become faster and stronger.
The graphics and sound are excelent some of the best graphics on ps2 the city looks amazing neon lights everywhere it simply looks stunning the charicters look and move well also,cool sounding electric gitars lead the way for the music and really hype you up for fights, voice acting is also very well done on the whole.
There are a few issues i have with this game however mostly loading times, as the whole city loads up in one go when you are running around the game will stop for a few seconds as you move in to a new street, you get used to it after a while but it is a bit annoing but the main problem is the amount of random battles you are throwen in to there is no option to get out of it you have to fight and towards the end of the game it becomes tedious but thats not the worst part, for every random battle you have to endure 15 seconds of load time this is highly irritating because firstly you dont even want to be part of the fight and secondly it really breaks up the game play.
but overall this is a excelent return to form for sega anyone not buying this game especially since it has a buget price dose not deserve to be a gamer, i just hope enough people buy it for the sequal to get released over here.

If you took the five star game Shen Mue, and then removed everything which made it a great game, you would get Yakuza. The main part of this game is the fighting aspect, which takes place in tiny enclosed arenas when the game allows it, with about 5 different attacks and awkward controls i.e. its not fun in the slightest. The rest of your time is wasted walking around a small and highly uninteractive Japanese environment, hoping that you won't have to watch a boring cutscene, with excessive swearing added just to make the game an 18. I strongly recommend that you do not buy this, but instead get a Shen Mue game, or another beat 'em up such as Urban Reign, or even a 2D SEGA beat 'em up such as Streets of Rage because even thats infinitely more fun.

What could have been a relatively entertaining game is let down by a number of frustrating features. Top of the list is the constant loading (in the first hour of play I think I was actually involved in the action for roughly 10 minutes). The cut scenes are ponderous in the extreme and the interesting plot takes an age to develop, resulting in repetitive missions (the first 4 chapters translate to a pub crawl around the city -Go to Serena bar, go to Ares bar, go to Bacchus bar etc etc). Real-life Tokyo looks nice but is very limited in the areas that you can actual explore. Perhaps worse of all, the fight system is frustrating and limited. Even after several hours play, you are still left with a few basic moves that quickly become repetitive. Not only that but the lack of a proper targeting system frequently leaves you howling in frustration as you try and keep your hard man facing in the right direction. Again, it is a game that looks polished but lacks the crucial element of playability. What's frustrating is that you figure proper play testing would have identified almost all of these problems.
