Mini Review: Yakuza

3 out of 5 starsScore: 60/100

This game sets up a interesting tale of betrayal and murder in the seedy underbelly of Japan. Along with a simple but effective beat em up combat it kept my interest in it till the conclusion. It also doesn't waste any time with setting up a compelling mystery and a unique cast of characters as well. Unfortunately the main thing most people will notice is that the voice acting is really over the top. (AKA bad) Along with not having a good way to switch targets during a fight makes this game less than perfect. If you can overlook the flaws Yakuza is still worth checking out for the narrative and fun combat.
