I'm also shocked to find it to be a DVD9 product, but FreeVast should take care of that.

I'm genuinely tempted to get this, even though 5 minutes ago I didn't know the PS2 still existed.

Just got this yesterday and I'm absolutely loving it so far.
I loved the first one (though it did have quite a few problems), but I can't believe how much improved Yakuza 2 is. The whole game just feels a lot more polished, besides the new features.

Also, just like I expected, the Japanese voice acting alone makes the game that much better. It really does. I'd say this game's cut-scenes are some of the best I've seen... Probably on the same level as those from the MGS games.

I truly can't wait for the next games, which will be for the PS3. I really do hope they do come out in the West, and that they do the right thing and keep the original voice acting, like they did with this one. Going with dubs would be such a step backwards.

Everyone should buy this game. If you don't, you're part of the problem.

Carroceiro: I'm really glad that somebody enjoys it more with the original audio track included. i think for games like this it really adds to the overall immersion in the game. albeit some attempts being almost perfect in the delivery (dragon quest xviii anyone?) but mostly they feel like a cheap tack-on. if only more games coming from japan would have the japanese audio kept (persona 3 for example).

although said that i'm yet to play the game.. roll on pay day!

also this game works on software BC PS3s, playing it that way myself., acceptable, if rough around the edges, literally: lots of jaggies. But very playable. Text looks like ass, but it's that way with all PS2 games upscaled.

@krudster

+1 vote for getting rid of the crappy image viewer. A definite step backwards from the old one.

Why not just use Lightbox2. I made some minor changes to it for keyboard navigation, but apart from that, it's dead easy to setup and nice to use.
