![]() ![]() ![]() The gameplay graphics and cutscene graphics are the same, and the environments of the cities you explore are given a whole new level of detail that makes you feel as if you’re there without the use of VR helmets. ![]() The game uses the Dragon Engine introduced in Yakuza 6 (which is slated for a March 2018 release outside of Japan), so if you’ve already played a Japanese copy of 6, then you can instantly get the hang of Kiwami 2. The game largely plays like the rest of the Yakuza series, but with the appropriate improvements in both style and substance with Kiryu’s story. Kiryu is not alone on his quest as Detective Makoto Date, Detective Jiro Kawara, Goro Majima, Daigo Dojima (the son of Kiryu’s former boss), and a tough as nails Osaka detective known as Kaoru Sayama all help him taking down Ryuji and the Korean mafia.Īs for the Shimano Mad Dog himself, Goro Majima, the game offers a new mode on why he left the Tojo-kai to start his own construction company and helps bring a bit of closure to his relationship with Makoto from Yakuza 0. However, the son of the Oumi Rengou’s boss, Ryuji Gouda, known as the Kansai Dragon, is against making peace and wants Kiryu’s head so he can be the top dragon of Japan.įurthermore, there is a deeper conspiracy as Ryuji is in cahoots with a Korean organization that wants revenge against the Tojo-kai when two of their top members, Kazama and Shimano nearly annihilated them 26 years prior to the game’s events. After witnessing the slaying of Terada, the present Kaichou (or don) of the Tojo-kai, Kiryu decides to go to Osaka to make peace with the Oumi Rengou in accordance with Terada’s will. Unable to combat this threat alone, the Tojo-kai turns to their former boss, Kazuma Kiryu. Taking place on Dec 2006, a year after the first game, the Tojo-kai is still struggling to recover, but a small faction of the Oumi Rengou of Osaka wanted to take advantage of Tojo-kai’s present vulnerability and conquer Japan’s criminal underworld. Last, if you’re into modern Japanese culture, this game will provide a unique insight into that. It runs more smoothly and is easy for newbies to get into. So loading times when entering some select establishment and between fights is practically non-existent. Similar to how Kiwami takes from the mechanics of Yakuza 0, Kiwami 2 utilizes the Dragon Engine that was introduced in Yakuza 6. It has a compelling story, addicting mini-games, bizarre side quests, a wide cast of characters from fantasy and reality, realistic environments to explore, and kick-ass action! Just like in the original Yakuza 2, you get to venture the pleasure districts of Kamurocho in Tokyo and Sotenbori in Osaka in order to prevent a mafia war between the two big cities. For those that love the Yakuza series, this is a must-have! A good percentage of what fans love about the franchise is present in this installment. Just like the first Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of Yakuza 2 originally released on the PS2. ![]()
