The best game of my favorite criminal organization!
The story is about a disgraced Yakuza, named Kazuma Kiryu, who took the blame of killing his boss for his friend, Nishiki. He spends ten years in prison, and eventually finds out that the Tojo Clan, the Yakuza syndicate that he used to work for, wants him dead. He must find out who is pulling the strings when he gets out, while protecting a young girl that is at the center of everything.
The fighting is good. you can use neon signs, flagpoles, swords, and guns, and grenades, as well as hand to hand combat. It is kinda sluggish at times, however.
The characters develop immensely. Kazuma becomes a kind father figure to Haruka, the young girl mentioned earlier. Nishiki becomes a ruthless Oyabun (crime boss), and Date ( the cop), becomes a good father.
The camera isn't all that great, it is too far away.
There are many sidequests as well.
well, that's all I can fit. Great game.
