Been thinking about getting into the Yakuza series, and I'm just looking for some insight from you all. 

Once was told it's in likeness to shenmue, which i did truly enjoy on the Dreamcast back in the day, is that an accurate comparison? 

Also, if i do jump in, do i need to start with 0 or can i do 1 first? asking because 1 currently sales for $16 with GCU @ bestbuy, while 0 is still $40.

Aside from the good advice others gave, hopefully this link will also help you and possibly help you decide which games you'd like to play if you dont think you'll play them all.
