About Yakuza Kiwami 2
About this game
Kazuma Kiryu thought his Tojo Clan days were behind him. He and the young girl in his care, Haruka Sawamura, have built a peaceful life from the ashes of conflict. All it took was a single gunshot to shatter that peace. Yukio Terada, the Fifth Chairman of the Tojo Clan, has been assassinated. With war on the horizon, the legendary Dragon of Dojima is pulled back into the world he wanted to leave behind.
Kiryu must travel to Sotenbori, Osaka in an attempt to broker peace between the rival clans, but Ryuji Goda, known as the Dragon of Kansai, will stop at nothing to get his war. In this world, there can only be one dragon.

80 / 100"The tale of Tokyo and Osaka, Kiryu and Sayama's partnership, and Kiryu and Goda's rivalry remains one of the Yakuza's best stories, and Kiwami 2's minor missteps don't affect...
PC Gamer
88 / 100"A triumphant remake of Yakuza 2, full of fun diversions and featuring one of the series' best stories."

90 / 100"Sega’s original sequel has received the remake it’s due. The story fumbles in places, but its high points allow it to sit next to Yakuza 0 as the best the series has to offer."

impeccable addition to the Yakuza series. Fighting as Kiryu is a bit unbalanced as this entry uses the dragon engine (which IMO wasn't perfected until Lost judgement) and features Kiryu fighting against Goda's clan. If you've played at least 2 yakuza games, you owe it yourself to try this one. You have a decent amount of Yakuza plot nonsense and as always an unhealthy amount of minigames and sidequests. It's hard to find a game with so much to do at the price

You can spend most of your time in this game playing a cabaret minigame and still walk out with a great story. The combat is great, the actual narrative is fun with lots of twists and I'm sure this wont be the last Yakuza game you play, your locked in for the whole series at this point.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a fantastically remastered version of the original Yakuza 2. It carries on the quality that Yakuza Kiwami presented, and brings back a good entry in the Yakuza series.

Loved Yazuka 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 1, this is as good if not better.
If you've played a Yakuza game before well then it's got all you would expect from a Yakuza game. There's more mini games and sub stories to keep you entertained. The cabaret club returns from Yakuza 0, enough said.
Combat is different from the other games, now fight styles are gone, but despite what might seem at first as a downgrade I found myself enjoying the game a lot.
Honestly I could go on about each point of the game, but because this is a sequel it should be easily summarized like this; If you've played and enjoyed the previous Yakuza games then buy this. If you played and didn't enjoy the previous Yakuza games then don't buy this. And finally if you've never played a Yakuza game then you should be buying either Yakuza Kiwami or Yakuza 0 first.
