Abstract: It just goes to show that the PS2 is still capable of releasing amazing games that can compete with the next-generation crowd and Yakuza 2 certainly proves that point. Not only is this a brilliant sequel to an excellent crime drama but it’s simply a bi...
Intriguing story; great cinematic presentation; surprisingly brutal combat.
Combat can get tedious; cameras are poor; the overall world feels rather cramped.
