Let me explain the question first.

Ages ago, I used to be a big fan of a game called "Music" on the PsOne, I loaned it out to someone and they lost it so I was on the look out for it and about 3-4yrs ago, I finally found out after randomly walking into a nearby Gamestation. When I took my purchase to the counter the guy said it's buy one get one free on PsOne games so I thought okay...

Went to the shelves and all their PsOne games were...lame (to put it mildly) except for a game called "In Cold Blood" (think Syphon Filter meets Metal Gear Solid) I had originally played the demo years earlier and thought it was decent so I figured as it was free...why not?

Took it home but played "Music" instead with the thinking I would play In Cold Blood the next day...

Fast forward to today where ICB still remains on my shelf untouched.

Now Yakuza 3 is heading in the same direction, I ordered it from GAME when I saw it was only £15 but because they dragged their feet delivering it, I started playing other games instead, now it's here I can't bring myself to start playing it...so the question is...should I play it or leave it?

Putting aside the fact that I have never even heard of In Cold Blood I think Yakuza 3 was a great game with an entertaining story and great fighting system.

Although I never played the earlier Yakuza games I think it was very smart that you can watch the video back story from Yakuza 1 and 2 to get up to speed before starting Yakuza 3.

Only other possible gripe is the lack of English localisation with voice overs - but since I prefer Japanese language with English subtitles this was no problem.

Definitely think you should give it a try and let me know what you think.

I feel I have been badly misquoted there.

what the bad  gnome said



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
