Comparing this review to IGN's on Yakuza 4 I'm really stunned by the way 1UP guys handled this one. They embraced the franchise with ambition and by being open minded. Why can't modern reviews be like this one right here?
@D202116 yes, It is. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS, I´ve played Shenmue 1 and 2 (back in the day) and Yakuza definitely is it´s spiritual successor.
@TravisTuchdown no. in yakuza 3 there is a option in the game menu to learn about yakuza 1 and 2. they are 2 small movies that explane what happend in the previous games and where you are now.
Ok i see alot of ppl saying this game isn't a RPG..Yes it's not a RPG,but it has RPG elements you have to level up Kazuma to unlock moves and finishers..there are certain events where u have to be at the right place at the right time for them to trigger move to the next lvl and you will miss em...So if that isn't RPGish then i am missing something.
the fat guy is dumb this game is not a rpg it is an action adventure game NOT AN RPG and him saying something about rpg gameplay does not stick cuz his older is just fkin dumb
This review sucks. I haven´t played Yakuza 2 yet, but seeing it is a straight sequel calling it an RPG is totally off; and saying you don´t like JRPGs anymore because you get older is dumb too; if what it takes to make a game suited for "mature" players to have cursing all the time I guess I´m still a kid at 28 years. While I LIKE Yakuza for what it is, the reviewers argumentation sucks. And God knows it is very different from Shenmue; and not quite as good.
Yakuza 1 & 2 HD collection with trophy support would be very welcome.

@LeeMan00 Still my favorite part of the game after playing it. And after that, you can go into an arena where you can fight tigers in a tournament!

No you don't need to have played Yakuza 1 to enjoy part 2...it has the backstory for Yakuza 1.
