Yakuza 2 finally releases to stores today. The game came out in Japan back in 2006 and many thought it would not see the light of day in the U.S. But thanks to the almighty staying power of the PS2, the game is finally here!
Take one last look at the game with this film noir-style trailer that shows how a struggle for power is dividing Osaka and how everyone wants in on the action.
In Yakuza 2, Kazuma Kiryu (the protagonist of the first Yakuza) is named Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan but unexpectedly retires from life in the clan the same day. However, his personally chosen successor is assassinated by a former allied gang called the Omi. These events set in motion an engrossing storyline that sees Kazuma travelling through Japan, on what could be the last opportunity to stave off an all-out war between the Tojo and Omi clans.
