Sega’s Yakuza series has nods to their company’s history and Yakuza 5′s virtual Virtua Fighter 2 arcade cabinets tops them all. The Virtua Fighter team collaborated with the Yakuza team to make Virtua Fighter 2 playable in Yakuza 5. You can select version 2.0 or version 2.1. Virtua Fighter 2 has a two player mode and Sega hints there may be original Yakuza 5 elements in the game.
Every single Yakuza game has over-the-top action and high-octane fights, and these are our picks for the most badass moments from the Yakuza games.
Carve your burning fist through this list featuring the best beat'em ups you can experience on the PlayStation 3.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.
very cool. I hope this comes stateside.
A real jump for such an underrated series.
So the full VF2 game is playable in an arcade.
Ok, thats pretty cool.
Put Wonderboy, Golden Axe and Alex Kid in there too.
Old news, but still cool.
Love the Yakuza series. Here's hoping 1 & 2 HD plus Yakuza 5 make it to the West.
About bloody time!
Shenmue had the likes of Super Hang-on, Afterburner, Outrun and Space Harrier in the arcades. Why Yakuza has taken this long to add something other than a bloody crane game is beyond me.
Some more Sega classics would be a nice touch though.
