Yakuza for PS2 (released September 2006)

[ghettocities]

Has anyone seen this game for the PS2 called 'Yakuza' ?

You get to go around Shinjuku's redlight district Kabukicho and fight people like a 3d 'Rivercity Ransom'. google Yakuza for ps2 and check out the screen shots because their Shinjuku really looks like Shinjuku and you get to go into buildings and all that good stuff.

I am so glad I lived to see the first real walk-around-Tokyo video game. Everyone should check out the game. It's like Resident Evil but instead of zombies it's Japanese girls in miniskirts and mobs of Yakuza.

It looks interesting, I like the Japanese name "Ryu ga Gotoku" better though :s

I wonder if you get to shake down mizu shoubai proprietors in this game and shop around Ueno for cheezy suits. : )

I think it's just kabuki -cho, I want to say to unfortunately but even still, just to walk around Shinjuku when I'm not in Shinjuku would be great.

I plan on buying the new slim PS2 and this game once I get back from Japan. It'd be pointless to buy this game and play it before I go back because I could use it to get my fix and I don't really need a fix right at this minute.

Confirmed, the game is a lot enjoyable LOL. The main chara remembers me someway Ryo of Shenmue jajaja ;P. The mini tutorial at the starting of the game is a little annoying, but the game is loooooooooot of fun ^o^. Recommended!
