VideoGamer Score:

6

Our Verdict: Yakuza's a competent and perfectly enjoyable pick'n'mix of some of the best games of the last 10 years, but doesn't excel at any aspect it borrows. It isn't greater than the sum of its parts.

Probably fair enough. There must be some Japanese English speaking voice talent around surely? See The Last Samurai for evidence of that.
