Those graphics are outstanding; animations are not the best, aside for that It is clearly one pretty game. And gameplay, woa: Strippers, Girlfriends(pretty ones), Golf mini game that looks like a full game by itself - not to mention those 9 or so other minigames they showed(of course on top of the usual story based game.) There's no question they spent a lot of money making this game.
I'm just not too enthralled with the idea of how long it may take to localize this game for the US. It didn't appear to be completely open world like GTA; it was more like in the same vein as the last yakuza games on PS2.
I find it funny some of the gamespot and IGN staff, were almost too quick to defend their controversial perfect 10 GTA4 review scores when talking about this trailer, comparing it to GTA and saying things like it 'may' rival GTA4 in terms of realism. From what's been shown it clearly looks more detailed/prettier than GTA4; Especially the character faces. GTA4 is no slouch of a game, It's just that from watching the trailer this game looks better.
BTW on a side note: what happened to Yakuza:kenzan?? Are we ever going to get a US/EU release? The game got solid reviews, gamesradar did an import review and gave it a 9/10. Why not translate it and bring it over?
