OVERALL NOT AS FUN AS YAKUZA 0 BUT THERE WERE SOME IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THE CUTTING-DOWN OF EXCESSIVE SIDEQUESTS, THE COMBAT SYSTEM WHICH MADE THE GAME MORE CHALLENGING; IN Y0 YOU COULD HAVE SKATED THROUGH USING BRAWLER MODE 96 OF THE TIME; WITH YK YOU HAVE TO LEARN THE BEAST AND RUSH MODES- br THE BOSS BATTLES WERE NOT NEARLY AS FUN AND GOT ANNOYING OFTEN br THE STORYLINE WAS PROBABLY THE WORST COMPONENT COMPARED TO Y0 AND IT NEVER CAUGHT MY ATTENTIONINTEREST; THE PLOT OFTEN GOT A LITTLE TOO CONTRIVED br WHERE'S MAJIMA: I WAS HOPING THAT HE'D BE ENCOUNTERED MORE BUT THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED - ONLY THE REQUIRED BATTLES br 8.
