Yakuza has the same basic gameplay concept as Shenmue so no suprise there. However, Yakuza has been a big success for Sega while Shenmue was a big faliure for that same company. I'm suprised that Sega is willing to make a game that is similar to Shenmue, especially when they refuse to make Shenmue III. I will probably get into this series. I think this game will eventally get a US release while Kenzan stays Japan-only(despite the fact that the creator of the series saying that Kenzan will probably appeal more to Western gamers than the main Yakuza games since Westerns like samurai movies and what not).
