Fatal Rose has put together a review of Sega's Yakuza for the PlayStation 2.

Yakuza promises to immerse you in the Japanese underworld in this crime drama epic action adventure. Is it an accurate representation of Japan and it's underworld? No. But it does give you an idea and it is a big immersing adventure that is enjoyable. Criminal organizations have always been a topic of interest, specially in media and fiction. It has fascinated the general public with its violence, strict brutality, and underworld myth's. Yakuza tries to bring this world to you in a fun and immersing experience. Does it get the job done? for the most part yes.

Check out the full review and share your thoughts here.

I Think This One Is Going To Be Slow…

 

In a fairly typical move, I’ve blown off all my other projects to look at something shiny. There’s some decent progress, but any textures that aren’t coplanar with the screen are clearly quite wonky. In fact, it’s driving me a bit batty at the moment. At least it is working enough to parse the model data, and you can watch the intro with its rotating camera and rain effects (see last picture — it looks better in motion). There is still a ton of stuff that I don’t yet understand. Having a PCB would be very handy (not only for this but for weeding out the remaining TMS32031 math bugs). Anyone got one they want to loan me for a few months?
