Yakuza 3 PS3 Review


It's a another PS3 exclusive and then this is my first time playing this game on the Yakuza series which I don't have 1 and 2 cuz it's originally on PS2 which I don't have, so lets get started with this game, Yakuza series is a action and adventure made by SEGA, so it's very often simular to Shenmue series for the gameplay schemes comes with battle fight, open world and get information from people, the story is quite decent on 1 and 2 when it's comes on cutscene options on this game which is good to know what happened right before the 3 was after the 2 of the original game on PS2, I say this game have a great cinematic cutscene because it's emotional, exciting and builds up the good story elements. This story is about Kazuma Kiryu as a 4th chairman of Tojo Clan set his mission to find the man called Fuma who shot the innoccent 6th chairman of Tojo Clan Daigo Dojima, I say the character is quite intresting like Kazuma Kiryu is a great character in this game becuase he is a friendly and kind person to look after his adoptive niece Haruka Sawamura and orphan kids in Sunshine Orphanage, so lets talk about gameplay. the gameplay is between open world and the battle fight, so it's like Shenmue that you go walk and run around the city and go buy items from the shop, go on bar club and play mini games in somewhere place, so during on the city, you may have to battle against these scumbags who come over you and ask for fight, battle fight was awesome, it had a great combat attacks and you can may also pick up the weapons to attack bad guys and performs finishing moves was sound cool, it can also upgrade your level abilties to improve your fighting performance, so I'm very pleased with gameplay cuz It's played perfectly outstanding, I say the graphics is fantastic for character design, open world design and cutscenes is perfectly well detailed, the music and sound is the best on this game which came with soundtrack, japanese voice acting with help of english subtitles and sound effects is amazing, it came with extra features like time attack mode and others I have unlocked when completing this game and there is some more that is only for downloadable content such as All star battle, 2 player mini games and some of them that I never got it cuz I brought this game from market stalls and did'nt came with bonus music CD's that meant to be inside of game cover and I have DLC redeem codes to download for free and I've tried it on PSN and put a codes in and it did'nt worked at all, Damn look like I have to pay for £3.20 to download it, ok'ay never mind, lets see the overall of this game.


 Gameplay 9/10 - it's a outstanding gameplay for Open world and the battle fight.

 Graphics 9.5/10 - It's truely the best game design that SEGA put up a great effort for characters and levels.    

Music and sounds 10/10 - The soundtrack, Japanese voice acting and sounds effect is a sounds of masterpiece.

 Special Features 9/10 - It has a unlockables stuff such as time attack and others to play including the downloadable content like All star battle and 2 player mini games and sub stories to help the people in the city.
 
 Downside - The weapons is can easily break depends how many hits you got left.
                  The Time attack and others is lot difficult than the main game.

 Overall 9/10 - I'm happy that Yakuza 3 is the best on the Yakuza series, so I suggest you to get this on PS3 if you have own a PS3.
