I love the minigames the gameplay and substories because they just can't be boring and simple. I played the find the lion dog substory and automatically wanted to look for a set of lion dog statues myself because they look so beautiful and the graphics really lured me in to want them. The makers of the game should sell them and provide a link to buy them lol. I have never been to Japan or any where outside of the US but now I would like to from viewing the beautiful graphics in this game that is said to truly capture the beauty of the areas shown in Yakuza 3. I love fighting games and this is one of the #1 games you should own if you are into fighting games/rpg and open world play. I love that you can run into substories but didn't like the fact that you couldn't keep up with the area you needed to go back to once you found something. Like the substory about the bitter melon juice being able to heal any sickness, The elderly lady told me a list of things to find and sort of where to find them but I went there ...I think and couldn't find any of the things she listed. So that was the only downfall of this game for me. over all it still gets an excellent from me!Read full review
Just to clear this up right off the bat, Yakuza 3 is a hybrid rpg/brawler/open world game. It is NOT, as many people have said, a Japanese version of Grand Theft Auto. That aside, it is a great game if you know what to expect. Even with a bit of content cut in the U.S. version, it's still an enormous world with so much to do it's mind blowing. I like these kinds of games as well as Japanese cinema a lot so I recommend it. Just make sure you do too before you purchase. Story : 8/10 Gameplay : 9/10 Graphics : 7/10 Sound : 8/10 Overall : 8/10
I personally find this game addictive and interesting, but I almost didn't hang with it long enough to get that feeling. The game starts off.........slow. And there are long periods of watching characters speaking and hitting the x button to get to the next part (think Final Fantasy vii). But I do enjoy the story, particularly the interactions with the kids at the orphanage, and the Japanese weirdness (well at least to an ugly American like myself) is fun as well. I've read mixed reviews on the fighting, I find it enjoyable and I like the variety of finishers and weapons. If you're looking for a plot heavy game that has fun action and a beautiful scenery, put away Heavy Rain and play something that is an actual video game. If you like more action COD type games, this is definitely not for you.Read full review
I rarely have time for game and most game I can't even finished it, like GTA. Don't get me wrong, GTA is alot of fun but there are just so much you can do. It's the same case for Yakuza 3 as well but the fight scenes kept it very interesting. I like the old school Double Dragon, Final Fight type of of simple-but-yet-satisfying fight and that's what Yakuza 3 has. The many finishing moves along with pretty good AI makes the game fun to play. At certain point you are almost playing it just to fight, without all the driving/flying/diving fun/distraction. I spent about 3 hours every day for 2 weeks and finished the story mode, but only at a 55% completion rate. Still have some more life to it. With all the pros, Yakuza 3 also has alot of shortcominig. It could get repetitive and some story might be just plain silly. The map is pretty limited and many times there is no way to quit a cut scene or middle of the game, other than going back to the PS3 menu. Overall I would say the game is a worthy experience.Read full review
you play as gang-star Kazuma Kiryu in an adventure through the japanese underworld.you retire and try to run an orphange,but polititions want to change your plans and shut it down.the game has a highly engaging combat system which you earn expeience to upgrade your skills.the upgrades open up new button combos,special moves and passive abilities. there is a variety of sub quests to keep you entertained if you want to stray off the beaten path.the only flaw for me is the text was in japanese with subtitles.it adds realism,but would rather have english with no subtitles. this is a fantastic game to play.
