yakuza 2 1up review

[VirgilMastercard]

Yakuza 1 & 2 HD collection with trophy support would be very welcome.

[SolidOberon]

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?

[redfoxbennaton]

Is there any platforming?

[jamaicanagent47]

no there's no platforming@redfoxbennaton 

[redfoxbennaton]

@jamaicanagent47 aint that a kick in the head.

[jamaicanagent47]

It's very similar to Shemue by the way,just way more violent.

[D202116]

somebody please answer: I'm a die hard shenmue fan, is this anything like shenmue?

[gomezgomas]

@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.

[TheRealOliver]

these guys know what they are talking about

[LeeMan00]

Punches tigers in the face? OMG I'M SOLD BY ALL OF THIS

[REXanadu]

@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!

[Dropy9]

Picked up one today, can't wait to play it!

[jamaicanagent47]

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

[TravisTuchdown]

do you have to play yakuza 1 to understand yakuza 2?

[JackSparrow424]

@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.

[melwabz]

is 1 of the guys a Filipino?

[MarkusVhane]

Yakuza is not an RPG!

[SmilesFilms]

I found two copies in GAME yesterday, so it's not that hard to find!

[zerdos2]

i got this game a week ago for $40!

[JackSparrow424]

@zerdos2 i got this game NEW at a store near me for 10 bucks

[gojordon1]

i got this game for $5 do sure hope it goes for alot of money in 10 years

[jamaicanagent47]

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.

[TheMasterFlay]

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

[SpudAlmighty]

@TheMasterFlay define role playing game, i think thats what youre doing in this!

[janko001]

[assfax]

Fat guy has fat girl hairdo.

[xxEastside13xx]

fucking bunch of ugly lame ass fucking nerds. This shit is really annoying. I wanted a review not a fucking sausage fest full of lame nerds.

[Nemhyz]

Lost Odyssey is a WRPG you dumb fat shit

[add1ctedg33k]

Yeah them calling this an RPG is really annoying if anything this is a action game with adventure elements, that fat guy is a douche

[108Stars]

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.

[valk4life]

why the fuck are they calling it a rpg, its not a rpg dumbshits

[kimdabalus]

it is an rpg. because of the popular turn based rpg's, games like this is rarely called an rpg anymore.

[weedo84]

ahhh shoot ! I loved the fact that the first one was in tokyo !

[CodyFancyPants]

nope, a good part of the game still takes place in Kumachiro. Whole city, same stores n everything.

[Mwry18]

pretty nice game:)
