I cut it some slack because it was such an old game and the first on PS3, but it desperately needed a Kiwami.

The combat is a blockathon suckfest, but I really enjoyed the story and characters in this one. We got to see a more human side of Kiryu with the orphanage, so I'm a little more lenient with most of the first half being little orphan kid drama. I'm also a sucker for tropical settings and loved the time spent in Okinawa.
