To complain that Yakuza Kiwami is smaller and shorter than other mainline Yakuza games seems to do it a disservice. The main motivation to engage is that they are all intriguing in their own right. However, this is not why you keep going back for more. Every side quest and mission gives effective items or experience usable in the main combat missions. Players can choose to spend their time racing pocket circuit cars, avenging street crimes, seeking out Majima or romancing their favorite hostess. There is plenty on offer here outside of the main story. In other words, the combat in Yakuza Kiwami, like the other Yakuza titles, makes you feel like a complete badass. Enemies come in a number of differing sizes and strengths so you often have to adapt tactics to gain the advantage.
#YAKUZA KIWAMI POCKET CIRCUIT RACER PARTS SERIES#
With four different fighting styles on offer, combat is skillful and varied.The series staple "heat actions" are still just as gory and fun to watch as ever.
The story is strong and concise and packs plenty of emotional impact. In all, it is hard to fault Yakuza Kiwami. At a glance, gamers would not be able to choose Yakuza Kiwami as the PlayStation 2 remake among a collection of games on a modern roster. Yakuza Kiwami is the standard that remakes should aspire to. The voice acting and additions of Japanese cultural aspects are a huge part of this. One of the best parts of playing a Yakuza game is being transported to Japan. The English subtitles explain but do not erase allusions to Japanese culture. Unlike the original, the superb Japanese voice acting is on show here. Everything was rebuilt from scratch from the graphics to the music, voice acting, and even the translation. In terms of graphics, there is simply no comparison between the original and Yakuza Kiwami. A little more chance for simple surprise Majima fights would not have gone amiss. However, while Majima claims to be everywhere, if you focus on the main missions, you can make it hours without ever encountering him. They are also the best way to increase your Dragon style rank. These are often preceded by a short witty cutscene to enjoy. My favorite was the Majima Everywhere system, where the series' main antagonist, Goro Majima, can emerge out of nowhere for a battle. Yakuza Kiwami has added various new side quests and minigames, that owners of the original title can enjoy for the first time. Conversely, you might find yourself foregoing using it for most of the game, at least until you are deep into the side missions. The difficulty in bolstering Dragon style makes it extremely rewarding to use. However, it is only leveled up by completing side quests. Finally, Kiryu's signature Dragon style is the best of everything. Beast is very powerful but slow and lumbering. Rush is extremely fast but lacks the ability to grab or use weapons. Instead, Kiryu has four different fighting styles which he can change between frequently during combat. The lack of playable characters does not really detract from Yakuza Kiwami. With Yumi now missing, he ends up uncovering a conspiracy he has to uncover to find her. Expelled from the family, and after 10 years behind bars, Kiryu goes in search of the woman he once loved. Kiryu takes the blame when his best friend murders their current patriarch. Shortly before he is offered the position of patriarch of his own family, disaster strikes. Yakuza Kiwami follows Kazuma Kiryu, a high ranking member of the Yakuza's Dojima family. Yakuza Kiwami brings that timeless Yakuza story into a completely modern title. Instead of a simple graphical upgrade, it is a complete overhaul of the original. Yakuza Kiwami has added so many features and upgrades since the original was released 12 years ago that it is virtually unrecognizable. A remake of the original Yakuza game on PlayStation 2, many gamers will look at Yakuza Kiwami with nostalgic goggles. I was pretty late coming into the Yakuza series, so I got the opportunity to see Yakuza Kiwami, through fresh eyes.
