Even so, Yakuza 3 is still a game packed to the brim with things to do, places to see, and people to fight – offering a massive amount of options for fans of the series and new players alike.

“For this project we knew we had to employ developers of a certain calibre in order to really bring the Grease magic to the world of video games.
