Yakuza 3 was my entry game into the series which I have become a big fan. While 3 is far from being the best game in the series, it offers an interesting setup and story combined with new places to explore versus previous games all while taking advantage of the 'next gen' hardware of the PS3.

Story and gameplay segments are a bit of a rollercoaster having highs (interesting/fun sections) and lows (uninteresting sections) but overall the game is fun and provides an expected Yakuza game experience with action packed gameplay sprinkled with Kamurocho exploration, minigames, and side stories.
