It's not all chopping people up and getting shitfaced. They play video games too!
Here's my favorite part:
M: Kiryu is the way yakuza used to be. We kept the streets clean. People liked us. We didn't bother ordinary citizens. We respected our bosses. Now, guys like that only exist in video games.
S: I don't know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn't just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.
I love this part:
M: I like the fact that you power up by eating real food. Shio ramen gives you a lot of power — CC Lemon, not as much. It all makes sense.
S: The breaded pork cutlet bento box is like mega power. More than ramen. That's accurate.
K: If they had shabu (crystal meth) as a power-up item, that would be realistic. It's a yakuza game.

This "review" is ace lol. Also, given that the yakuza have a history of very violent wars/fights, it's really quite interesting to know that "nobody wants (gang fights) now. When a yakuza gets into a fight, it's serious business."

I hate CC Lemon. I bought a 6 pack of them and it's the worst kind of Vitamin C drink anyone could ever make. I'm glad Sega was extremely accurate in its game as well.

I also found it really funny that they bashed SEGA USA. Who doesn't these days?
That was a good read. I wasn't expecting it to go down so well. Just goes to show.

Sega are merely trying to protect the purity of innocent Americans.

Oh come on, Americans are lawless cowboys who never pay their taxes and steal cars and rape children, how much worse could it be?

Well they don't have chavs, do they?
I've never seen so much praise for the formatting of an article. It was very readable. And I love the comments those Yakuza guys give. All-round great article.

Which decade is this again? I thought I had left the 80s behind a couple of decades ago.

Come to the Jersey shore, we have Oompa-Loompas.
I mean guidos.

I thought human cloning hadn't been perfected yet? Oh yes, that's right. Clearly it hasn't.
It really is a brilliant game (at least the JPN version) although I think I enjoy Kenzan a little more.
