What, you haven't of the Yakuza series? well SEGA isn't up to par with their old awesomeness so it's understandable. Yakuza is one of the most recent Brawlers produced directly by SEGA. While on the surface some may think this is just a Japanese GTA but this niche title is much more, a total gem. Expansive Combat, side missions, exploration, etc provides plenty to do in this series. Doing Exceedingly well in Japan the game receives a new entry practically every other year. Unfortunately it didn't do anywhere near as well in the states and now the question of rather it's latest main entry (Yakuza 5) will receive localization is up in the air. Most recently a prequel has been announced Ryu Ga Gotoku Zero. The Entry is as follows
