DESCRIPTION

Japan's criminal underworld resurfaces in Yakuza 2, a free-roaming 3D adventure through the densely packed cities of Tokyo and Osaka. Visit nightclubs, restaurants, stores, and other locales while confronting members of gangs, law enforcement, and the Korean mafia. Play as Kazuma Kiryu, the protagonist from the first Yakuza, as he attempts to prevent a gang war by any means necessary. Use an assortment of hand-to-hand attacks to subdue multiple foes from a third-person perspective. Take a break from the action for some recreational fun at the bowling alley and driving range. To help immerse you into the world of the Yakuza, the game's 16-chapter storyline features Japanese voice acting with English subtitles. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
