  • Yakuza

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

The fiance just picked up a copy of Yakuza today after reading comparisons drawn between it and Shen Mue, which she loved. I'm only a couple of hours into it now and I'm not sure how apt those comparisons are, but it's kickass in its own right. The combat is fun and it has a strong narrative so far. My only complaints are the barrage of cutscenes and fairly horrendous and frequent load times.

<a href="http://www.yakuza-game.com/">The website</a> has a bunch of interesting movies on it, particularly a super-awesome live-action prequel.

Anyone else playing it?

No! I'm not! Sorry, brah. Looks neat, though. Maybe after Dead Rising, GH2 and FF12.
