Yakuza 3 Coming to America and Europe in March

Kris Erickson • Dec 9, 2009 • Comments ()

The first two games gathered an impressive following on the PS2 console, but this is the first entry in the series to take advantage of the bone-crushing graphical power of the Cell processor. At the same time Yakuza 3 releases over here, Yakuza 4 will be released in Japan, proving that the franchise still has a lot of life left in it.

Following the events of the previous game, Kazuma and Haruka (his adopted daughter) have left Kamurochoto to seek a new life in Okinawa where they manage an orphanage for children. However, their peaceful life is soon interrupted when a series of events unfold pulling Kazuma back into the shadowy past he thought he had left behind. Making its first appearance exclusively on the PlayStation 3 platform, the rich story and vibrant world of Yakuza 3 lets players engage in brutal clashes within the streets of Okinawa, and the pulsating and often dangerous city of Tokyo where only the strongest will survive.

Some Yakuza 3 Features:

• Storied franchise enjoys a hardcore following with true video-game enthusiasts.
• Tokyo and Okinawa are rendered with stunning accuracy.
• Play a variety of mini-games including billiards, karaoke or even take in a game of golf.
• Engage in a variety of real-life activities from buying items in licensed shops & businesses to eating in restaurants you can find on actual streets of Tokyo.
• Seamlessly transition into intense fights more brutal than ever before.
• Gain fighting experience by training with teachers, getting "heavenly inspiration" or by remembering new moves from previous battles
