It’s quick, visceral, and satisfying, like trying to wolf down ice cream on a rollercoaster.
From the first instalment, it made you think of games like Virtua Fighter mixed with Shenmue. Mass beat-downs ensue.Ĭombat is king in Yakuza. Along the way, he finds himself tied to Haruka, the young daughter of his friend’s sister (both of whom have disappeared), taking with them the location of 10 billion yen, which belongs to the Yakuza’s families. Upon his release, he discovers that not only the world around him has entered a digital age, but friends have become enemies and enemies have become friends. When he takes the blame for his friend Nishiki having killed the patriarch of the Dojima family, he’s sent down for 10 years. He’s stoic, has a heart of gold, and is living embodiment of bad-assery. In Yakuza Kiwami, you step back into the shoes of Kazama Kiryu, a member/ex-member of the Dojima crime family. It doesn’t spoil my enjoyment, but, perhaps, does reveal a little lack of polish. You’ll be running around the streets, and just a few steps in front of you, trash and other objects will appear. But it also still poses the same issues with quite severe pop-in. The game runs on the same engine as Yakuza 0, which means combat, locations, and cinematics possess the same quality.
#YAKUZA KIWAMI MAJIMA EVERYWHERE DVD SERIES#
Yakuza Kiwami may be a response to a couple of factors: the games’ burgeoning success in the west, player demand, and a chance to ingratiate newer gamers to the Yakuza series with the upcoming sixth titled entry into the series. Still, the game has been a powerhouse in the east, and things have been looking up since Yakuza 0 hit the shelves. It was released to favourable reviews, but never quite reached the heights it did in Japan. You had Michael Madsen, Eliza Dushku and Mark Hamill among the cast. SEGA brought on some big names to lend their voice talents to Yakuza’s original release.
