You know ive never really played a yakuza game. Is it anything like GTA or Sleeping Dogs? If so how does it compare?

It's open world, but there's no driving around.  So it's like Animal Crossing open world(not the same gameplay though,) Shenmue, or games similar to that.  Sleeping Dogs combat is more like Batman Arkham series, where Yakuza's is more of a Streets of Rage, Final Fight type combat system, but in 3D and with additional additional gameplay mechanics like the finisher combos, heat action system, evade, counter system, etc.

There's a lot to the games combat system with the heat system and everything, but as you learn more as you level up, it would take awhile explaining everything you can do.


I need to play this series sometime.  I always intended to play Yakuza 2 but never got around to playing it.  It seems like a good franchise just was never sure what to think about it since im not really all that familiar with japanese stuff.  Kind of figured a lot of the stuff will just fly over my head.
