Yakuza 3 by Sega like Shenmue.
The game is dubbed a “Yakuza simulator”. This third Yakuza installment takes place in modern Japan. It looks a lot like Shenmue, also by Sega. Screenshots show that its an adventure simulation game with regular button-mashing action along with Shenmue style simulations/mini games. It looks like it has an open world where you can roam freely around the environment.
One really interesting simulation is where you mold bar hostesses to be more appealing to clients by changing her hair, clothes, accessories, name, etc. You can also spend time with bar hostesses playing pool, bowling, drinking, golfing, singing karaoke, shooting darts, etc. Hostesses for the game were modeled from real-life magazine models. Massage parlor girls are also in the game to heal players.
Yakuza 3 comes out late February for the PS3 in Japan. No word yet if it’s coming to the U.S. It looks like this game can have a decent following in the U.S. like Shenmue did. Shenmue suffered problems (like the Sega Dreamcast becoming extinct) and the story was never finished because the final chapter was never made. Shenmue parts one two are still pretty cool games. Yakuza 3 really looks like Shenmue’s heir. Sega: Bring Yakuza 3 over to the U.S. for the Xbox 360!
