Shiny grease covered facsimile of a a pretty good game, disintegrated into a semi-hollowed shell that sparkles with shaders and bleeds out most of the atmosphere and function of the game that it is built upon.

Some quests are cut, and instead of being pleasant discoveries that you find and find solutions to as you explore are linear fetchquests with markers for every step, the essence of Yakuza 2, where Kiryuu gets better at combat and things by simply living, watching VHSs, and engaging with the world, is almost entire gone.
Even things like rain are gone from regular gameplay, and entire, beautiful area was cut and instead replaced by extremely hap-hazard running around quest, instead of the original's simplistic attempt at Detective work.

And probably the most obvious change, the perfect jazz score, was stripped away and replaced by really poorly chosen pop rock that devours any semblence of feeling that the scenes had.

Finishing this game gives me a distinct feeling of needing to take a shower.
