Yakuza 2 Will Feature The Japanese Language

By Brian Ashcraft on June 18, 2008 at 3:00 PM

Phew! Sure seems like Sega listens to fans. After the first Yakuza game was released with an English language dub, erasing the brilliant original Japanese one, people complained. Why not, you know, release the game with subtitles? It is called Yakuza and English dubbing, no matter how good, kills the mood! Well, that is, unless you’re one of those can’t-see-foreign-movies-with-subtitles people. For the PS2 sequel, Sega points out on the game’s official site:


Authentic, cinematic sequel. The gritty, genuine portrayal of life in the Yakuza is made more realistic throughout 16 gripping chapters with a return to the original Japanese voice cast and English subtitles.

Bravo, Sega, bravo. The game does a neat job of authentically capturing Osaka’s nightlife (above) — though needs more people. Still, it’s a PS2 game and quite a nice looking one at that!
