It's a good game. The gameplay felt damn near revolutionary for the time, at least to me. Realizing that the Yakuza series tackled most of them ahead of time hurt, but this game still takes a lot of meaningful, great differences, and puts them together in one whole cohesive piece.

There are some really frustrating moments in gameplay. At the beginning of the game, only a misstep or two will kill Shen, not to mention the weapons they use that have plenty of status effects. It gets a bit easier when you have full health and upgrade your abilities in fun ways.

The story is great if you ask me. Shen plays in the double life perfectly, and there are moments of serious intensity between the triad and the cops, not to mention Wei having to go against police code and kill countless rival gangs to lower suspicion against him.

I think the game's fine as it is and doesn't need a sequel, but I'd be much quicker to reccomend something like Yakuza, and if you miss the 3rd person shooting, play Mass Effect or Gears or some other game. It's just okay, great at times.
