Yakuza (2005, PS2) Review

Played this game based upon the fact that it was a 'Yakuza' game, and that intrigued me.

Good game- you live the legend of a Yakuza man. My quarms about it are-

*the character goes into prison, and comes out a decade later looking exactly the same, and wearing the same clothes as when he went in

*the city is small in comparison to the likes of GTAIII, and the other GTA games released before this game... Sega supposedly spent $21,000,000 on this game... hard to believe at times though...

*while the main characters look very good for playstation 2 graphics, the citizens look appauling. Sega thought just because they're pedestrians you woudln't notice, but up close they look as bad as GTA citizens. Maybe they could have gotten away with it in 2001, but now now!

*there could have been more the player could have done, for example you can actually go into a bar and get drunk, but when you leave the bar, you're able to run as normal even though the drunk meter is telling your your t-total. You could have had limited control over the character once he was drunk, and also you could have been given the ability to assault citizens, and then go to jail for it, etc.

My rating- 7.5/10
