Never tried the first. If it's like Shenmue (like I keep hearing), then I'll definitely pick it up =O

Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

Fucking UPS normally comes around 10am, but it's 6:20pm and still marked as "being delivered" Rrrgh...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just thought I'd post my opinion of Yakuza 2:

- JAPANESE VOICE TRACK. No attempt at a shoddy dub. This immediately won points from me. Plus, all of the voices so far fit very, very nicely.

- The Japanese words/phrases/etc are left intact (ie: referring to some troublemakers as Kansai guys), much like the first one.

- If you never beat #1, don't worry. There is an awesome recap at the beginning that essentially has the main character narrating through cinema clips in Yakuza 1. I lost my data to #1 and never returned to it, but this did a marvelous job of filling me in on what happened. All-in-all, I think it was about 20-30 minutes long.

- Combat is relatively the same, but that's hardly a bad thing :V I can't remember if a few things were in #1 or not, though. First off are changes in the usage of "heat" or your uber special attack. The first thing I spotted is that you have heat moves you can do with weapons (unique to each). I also noticed that you have the ability to do an awesome "fuck you up" heat move on bosses; don't know if they're unique to each yet.

- Faces and the graphics seem slightly improved. There is a bit more emotion shown on some folks' faces, but I could be imagining it... :V

I only played for about an hour and a half last night, but I absolutely love this game thus far. It seems to be much like the first one in its caliber of awesome =D Highly recommended, GFF. HIGHLY.

8.5 from IGN, but those guys are cocksuckers; 10.0 god dammit.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
