    Unfortunately, this is probably one of the worse Yakuza game's but do not be saddened since there are still some good things in it. The combat is awful and really tedious and repetitive and there aren't really any memorable songs or mini games to keep your mind off in fact they are pretty boring.

Yakuza is very well known for their amazing side stories but sadly this game didn't have any fun or that interesting side stories to begin with which kinda takes out of the experience. The only part that I really loved was the orphanage story which to be honest was amazing , the kids were so fun to get to know and I really wished that they would spent more time on that part than any other part of the game , hell one of the kid's even refused to date another kid because he was black(lmao) but by the end they learned tolerance and so on (which was amazingly well done). The story sadly is also not in par with the other Yakuza game's and the villain has the most basic and boring as **** motivation that you can find. I can only suggest this game when it's on a discount and of course if you are a yakuza fan (if you are not then don't buy this since it will most likely get you off the series , go play 0 you noob) 5/10 needs more orphans.

    Ok this is an update since I'm almost done with this game just the final scene. At first the chases are a pain but you get the hang of them,y4/y5 have much better chases. This game starts off slow and then gets going and has some of the best side stories. The main story is typical yakuza soap opera stuff but does have some memorable moments.

The main story is typical yakuza soap opera stuff but does have some memorable moments. I'm at the finale and have about 18hrs in, but I use a trainer to make the many annoying random street fights as short as possible and don't really get into the minigames outside of the ones that involve side stories. You can only get the beads of good fortune by finding all the locker keys in kamurocho, what a PIA. The controller camera sensitivity takes some getting used to because it's way fast, but I'm real yakuza so no problem. I play 2k dsr which helps a bit with the dated graphics. I think this deserves kiwami treatment along with 4, 5 is fine. This game also seems to have the largest amount of street npcs, but they pop in a lot and if you turn your back and again they disappear. The patch actually introduced a periodic stutter when approaching high npc areas and other bugginess not there with just V1, so I'd steer clear if you can. Not going to lie though this is probably my least favorite afa graphics/mechanics, slow start and other parts that aren't crime drama oriented but the story is decent and makes more sense than most of the following titles. IMO 0-yk2 is a great arc storywise, everything after is just bonus material to me. RGG really needed to gradually move kiryu aside for other original characters to take the lead such as majima, saijima, daigo and akiyama but that's not what they did unfortunately. Expand

    It has a very and I mean VERY slow start. You take care of this orphanage for the first few chapters, sounds fun, seeing Kiryu moving on with his life is great. But doing these fetch quests for the orphans is just so tedious. The story does pick up after those first few boring hours and it gets amazing. You will be pulled back into the game like with the Yakuza games you played beforeIt has a very and I mean VERY slow start.

So it is worth a play, just stick with it, it gets better. Expand

    it is disappointing the downgrade after playing yakuza kiwami 2, the combat is repetitive and boring, the story is cool until the scene after the last boss, but it is worth finishing it as fast as possible to play the yakuza 4

    Yakuza three falls down the steps and crumples from the previous games. The graphics are what you'd expect from a Ps3 title, with a repetitive combat system, and horrid enemy AI. The story is way more relaxed than previous entries which was different but still enjoyable. They introduce some characters that are likable along the way but just write other characters out of the story or justYakuza three falls down the steps and crumples from the previous games.

They introduce some characters that are likable along the way but just write other characters out of the story or just forget them in general. The combat drags and ruins something I used to love in the previous games. Every corner has an inescapable thug that turns into a group so it's incredibly harsh getting through the city. The story was moderate but nothing too special for a Yakuza game. Overall give it a try but don't expect much. Expand

    Story feels slow and boring, gameplay is hard because of the AI blocking almost every attacks. But the end is really good.

    Horrible balancing. The standard fights are way to easy whereas the bosses are way too hard. Kiryu is ineffective and you cannot even level him up by grind well enough to become a threat to the bosses and the inventory does not allow you to store enough stuff to prepare for the boss fights. Frustrating and that's a pity. Also, the controls are sometimes much worse than in the other parts.

    Kiwami 1 ve Kiwami 2 remakelerinin ardından bunun remaster olması biraz üzüyor. Şirket açısından baktığımda anlayabiliyorum, o kadar eski olmadığından remaster yapmayı tercih etmişler fakat oyunun grafikleri ve mekanikleri çok antik hissettiriyor.
    Senaryo açısından biraz değişse de diğerlerinden farklı bir havası var güzel duygular yaşatan bir oyun olmuş.
