Rather than scripted or forced animation, Kiryu does this in a natural motion from whichever direction he arrived, and the game seamlessly moves from the exterior to the interior or vice versa without a break. Similarly, most shops allow Kiryu to just open the door or walk through an automatic sliding door as if they are a single world. When walking into the Serena bar, Kiryu, the main character just opens the door. One big change to the city is the reduction of loading screens. Fans have seen this area two times already, but Yakuza Kiwami 2 still manages to make the city shine, even as it becomes more familiar. This series constantly returns to Kamurocho, the district, and it looks amazing yet again and the game really shows it off. ![]() Most pre-rendered scenes in Yakuza Kiwami 2 look good, but this took it to another level, one the game almost never returned to.Īt the same time, so much of the game is well designed and looks amazing. I was surprised at how I could see even minor details in the character, but oddly enough this was one of the only scenes that really hit that level of visual quality. An early scene really showed the detail in a character model in the opening, to the point where most players will be forced to take note. There are a couple of scenes in Yakuza Kiwami 2 that stand out though. Beyond that though, the graphics of the game are crisp and clear, and so many locations are beautifully detailed. Every scene whether it be in-engine or a video is well designed and the game feels like a quality product. There are a number of times that Yakuza Kiwami 2 made me take notice of the graphic. Yakuza Kiwami 2 seems to swipe that away. While the graphical quality was on par in most ways, there was a number of stiff animations and a few scenes felt that the game left some PlayStation 2 animations in the game. Where Yakuza 0 stood out for graphics, it seemed that Yakuza Kiwami took a step back. ![]() However Yakuza Kiwami 2 has made me a believer again, and I’ve been just amazed at how this series changed over the three released games, so I may reference both my Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami reviews or pieces of the games in this review, as this game has many references to both of those games. I’ll start by saying that the second game, Yakuza Kiwami, made me question the entire series. With the rate that Sega is releasing these titles players are getting a wealth of Yakuza content, but can Yakuza Kiwami 2 stand up to the two games that already came before it? It is also is the third Yakuza game released on PC in under 12 months. ![]() Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the third game chronologically in the Yakuza Series. Original version (Yakuza 2) on PlayStation 2.
