Critical reception to SEGA’s forthcoming PlayStation 3 prequel, Yakuza: Kenzan! (Otherwise known as Yakuza 3) has got off to an impressive start in its native Japan, where the game has received a score of 37/40 from Famitsu Weekly.
For the uninformed, the publication awards games a score of 1-10 based on four different reviewers, with Yakuza 3 managing a highly impressive 10,9,9,9.
Yakuza 3 is a PS3-exclusive and third iteration in the critically acclaimed adventure series from Sega, and takes the form of a prequel set in the year 1605, based on the developers own hopes of rekindling the samurai spirit of Japanese history.
A western release has yet to be announced.

Good for them....but I am not too sure about getting this game just yet.
wow, what a good way to "rekind the samurai spirit"
cant wait for this to come to the US... hopefully! Must Buy
Reminds me of Shenmue for some reason. Good news if it's come to the states.
psn id: gingo.... well this could be an unexpected hit, the other two yakuzas didnt go down too well but maybe they have learned from their mistakes
Third times the charm eh? If I remember right thr first two on PS2 we're anything special.
Anything to make the collection bigger and better is okay by me.
@ gingo
the first two Yakuzas sold more than 2 mil copies, with 2nd one still waiting to be released outside Japan. I think that's more than good, it's excelent actually.
i've played the demo and it was cool. i didn't get much of the story because i dont know japanese but the gameplay was good =)
this needs to come to the west. I must have this game.!
