Yakuza was released in 2005 by the popular Sega team, yes the blokes who make Sonic the Hedgehog, but do not let that put you off....

THE BAD:
> Below average voice acting
> Annoying random encounters
> Breakable weapons makes for unrealistic gameplay
> Finishing moves hardly ever seem to finish anyone, a curb stomp only takes away 50% of a enemies life bar?
