Yakuza Kiwami for PlayStation 4

The new steal box looks amazing. I just received the game yesterday (thanks for the quick delivery) and played it for a short time but already i feel absorbed in it. The previous yakuza games have also been a huge success and i expect the same from this one as well. Now as mentioned in the description this is not a new game but a rebuilt game from it's original PS2 version, i sadly didn't get the opportunity to play it on PS2 so i am really happy i got it now. If u have already played this game then still do go for it because the experience is totally different aka Majima everywhere is awesome. If your buying it for the first time as well i would recommend you first play Yakuza 0 then play kiwami. It will be easier to understand both game stories and easier to adapt to the flight styles. Finally i would say that i feel the price could be less but the experience will be worth it.

This game is a very good follow up to Yakuza 0, this is a complete remake of the hit 2005 Yakuza. Just experience it for yourself. You'll not regret it.

Overpriced, its a playstation hits title, original price is only 1500. Rather buy from ps store only in 1500 rupees.

Definitely worth more than its price, in my opinion. Spent around 32 hours to finish the story with around 64% completion. I'll note that I didn't play the original Yakuza game so this is my first experience with the series. PROS: - Good story (albeit a bit cliche at times) with characters that have personalities. - Action is somewhat cheesy and over the top. I enjoyed the over-dramatic slo-mo finishing moves - Different fighting styles keep things interesting. - Substories will make you experience every emotion out there, ranging from some heart-felt family reunions to helping an alcoholic get his next fix to obliterating some little kids in various mini-games (or getting obliterated yourself...) - Mini games! Adds variety and some absurdist humor. - Good translations and scenery. Lots of minute details that really add to the experience of being in a small city in Japan. - Great music CONS: - Minor combat annoyances; for example, the main character gets staggered quite easily in the beginning making it hard to fight. It gets better as you grow stronger but it's still annoying. - Too many random gangs that aggro you on the street. Even after you reach your full power, you'll still have some random street punks try to start a fight as you run to your next substory. You can usually run away but it's still irritating. - Mini games. I know I listed it as a pro, but some of them will leave you frustrated. Overall it was a great game and I can't wait for the next remake!

Back when the 1st Yakuza came out on ps2 it had my attention until I started hearing the game was a Japanese gta style game so I didn't bother any further with the series. Then the Yakuza 3 demo was released on psn and I "played" about 2 minutes of it which from what I remember consisted of reading a bunch of dialogue so I never made it to the gameplay. Then I sat and watched a let's play of Yakuza 4 & 0 and that was what finally pushed me to give the series a legitimate try with this remake of the original. If you're still under the impression that these games are GTA but in japan wipe that thought from your mind immediately, thanks to mishandled advertising in North America this series has had a tough run. If you're to compare it to anything rockstar has made its much more like The Warriors mixed with a rpg. The central chunk of this game is a pretty serious crime drama revolving around your main character Kiryu being convicted for murdering the head of the Dojima crime family of which he is a part of. Kiryu spends 10yrs in jail and is finally released and heads back to Kamurocho where the entire game takes place and he is no longer a member of the yakuza. You will spend your time with the story trying to find out what happened to your friends since you've been in jail, taking care of a sweet little girl (if youre thinking of terrible escort missions don't worry you dont have any in the main game), and removing corruption from the Tojo clan which is the overall sum of the yakuza in Kamurocho. So now I'll get to what I dislike about the game, it's going to be a pretty short list. 1. The lock on targeting during battle could be a tiny bit better with tracking the enemy you're focused on so they don't manage to get behind you and attack your backside. 2. The highway rail shooting section, if you're playing on normal or a higher difficulty the there's a very noticeable spike in the difficulty once you get to this section but if you must you can switch to an easier setting while playing unless you're in legend mode in which case have fun fighting your way back there to retry many times. 3. Karaoke minigame I hate it because to complete all of Haruka's whims you must suffer through a really tough I guess it's a rhythm minigame, it's not fun but I want all of her items just because. 4. Climax Battles- an extra mode where you have to fight and complete the challenges under certain conditions Now for what I like, which is pretty much everything else. 1. Majima Everywhere, the closest thing I could compare it to is Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 but done much better since you really don't know when exactly Majima will show up to fight you. This is the closest a game has gotten to something I've wanted for about 24yrs. 2. The story and characters besides all of the sillyness to be found in this game when it tries to be serious it succeeds and when things get goofy with substories (side quests) a high percentage of them are pretty humorous. The serious and silly also applies to the central characters too so they can be really cool as well as huge dorks. 3. Aside from beating down scummy members of the yakuza, street gangs, punks, and an occasional drunk there is a lot to do outside of the main story although quite a bit of it involves fighting to gain special items and abilities. Outside of beating people up you can spend time playing numerous minigames ranging from mahjong to racing tiny customizeable toy cars. I'll pick out a few of my favorite ones but there's a lot more to be played. Mesu King Bug Battles which is a rock, paper, scissors game with sexy bug ladies fighting each other. Pocket Circuit Racing which is the 1 with the tiny cars that you buy parts to make your car more suitable for staying on and completing different courses. Black Jack, different forms of poker, and the fighting tournaments. There's a ton of other ones you can play too so even if you don't like the ones I mentioned you'll probably find some you can really enjoy. In the end I had and am still having fun playing this game even if im stuck on a karaoke challenge at the moment. As a new player to the series I would recommend Kiwami to anyone who likes brawling beat'em ups of the past such as Streets of Rage, Final Fight, or countless other similar games. If im thinking of more recent games to base a recommendation off of the first things that come to mind are The Warriors, the Batman Arkham games, or Lollipop Chainsaw

Never heard of the Yakuza series and decent to jump on the game blind. Good plot with good character development and rpg element, if you are a fan of japanese culture and like button smash brawler gameplay, then this game is for you.

Très bonne édition steelbook du remake de Yakuza premier du nom. Les ajouts sont excellents et c est avec plaisir qu on retrouve de multiples clins d oeil à l univers du Préquel Yakuza 0. Sega de retour au top avec cette saga.

Aún no lo termino, apenas voy por el capítulo 7 y me está gustando demasiado aunque he de decir que se nota el paso del tiempo por el juego pero todo se hace muy pasajero si se tiene en cuenta todo lo que te da como la historia, el combate, las heat actions y la cantidad masiva de misiones secundarias y actividades que se pueden realizar
