I'm not gonna hold you, the art style in this game is fucking immaculate and is the main reason you should play this game. Not to say the gameplay or story isn't good, but dude... the art is so gorgeous and the FOOD BRO OH MY GODDDDDD THE FOOD IN THIS GAME! I know it's a meme like "oh anime food looks so good" but UGHHHHHHH THE FOOD IN THIS GAME IS UNREAL LIKE FUCK THE SPIRIT I GET FROM EATING I JUST WANNA SEE THE DAMN MEAL!
One thing I fucking despise though is how unique games like this are stuck to consoles that are no longer supported because everything has to be an instant money maker. Current video game preservation is a complete and utter fucking joke.

Fun little thang with easily some of the tightest movement you could have in a 3D Platformer FUCKING PERIOD. Love the atmosphere as well, isolating and hollow just like the progenitors. Also I just wanna say that the community for this game is already badass as fuck, a fucking randomizer mod coming out ONE month after the game has been released? Fucking nice shit.

I don't know how to write about this game because on one hand, it's incredibly unique and stylish with really good music and reallyyy fun combat! But on another hand... it can have some real fucking clunk shit. I know I talk about jank and how much I like it a fair bit, but there is a point where it goes from charming to genuinely fucking bad. Mainly that final boss because GODDDDDD DAMN. What a fucking shitshow. Even with all that crap though it's a damn good game.

Fucking amazing. It's disgusting how good this game is both as a sequel AND just as a yakuza game even compared to the later games. Kiwami 2 genuinely just does fuck this game up especially with the music, like yes kiryu getting stabbed in kiwami was awful but holy shit the final scene on Kamurocho Hills was so beautiful and heart wrenching in the og and then kiwami says "hey what if we played that boonk ass ugly ass shitty ass bullshit ass SiM song"
But yeah anyway game is fucking amazing, if Miike made a Yakuza 2 movie it'd be the best thing ever made.

Maaaaan this game kicks ass. It's not long but it makes such a good impression that I could not give less of a shit. It's the perfect level of simple stylish substance in both its gameplay and cutscenes with a bit of jank and a prevalent melancholic atmosphere throughout. I cannot explain through words how happy this game makes me even if it's barely over two hours, it's just fucking awesome.
This is holy skung. I'm talking some real jank shit. Some real fucking stupid ass early 2000s Japanese to English translation and voice acting shit. Some dumbass mo-cap type shit. Real fucking stank shit. Main villain turning into a biological weapon fish girl with heels built in cause fuck it, trans rights are the shit, bro.

Game good! It's real fun even if it's kinda easy at least for me even on hard mode. Story's cool too although it does get preachy near the end. Doesn't really bother me because eh, at least it's a good lesson. Also I thought that the game's atmosphere was really well done, games where you're alone feel fucking amazing, I cannot get enough of that shit. Playyyyyyyy it already.

Satisfies my sexy man gothic man vampire man obsession quite fucking well, and while it ain't shit over Bloodlust the ending still almost brought me to tears just like the movie did. The final boss theme and the credits theme just strike a personal chord with me that I haven't felt in forever. I don't blame people for calling this game shit but uhhhh I dunno! It kinda goes hard and has a lot more soul in it than a lot of anime game cashgrabs of the era. Hell, it has more soul than a lot of anime games today.
