Following the release of the acclaimed first entry in Sega's Yakuza franchise, it was only natural that a sequel would follow. The Yakuza franchise, known as Ryu ga Gotoku in Japan, is a series of crime dramas centered around Japan's criminal underworld. They're a unique blend of games, with a distinct blend of serious drama and bizarre goofiness that go together like butter on bread. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of the second game in the saga, which follows the continued story of Kazuma Kiryu, the former fourth chairman of the once illustrious Tojo Clan, one of the biggest yakuza organizations in Japan, now in decline following a tumultuous year that saw the assassination of their chairman and the loss of 10 billion yen. With the threat of a war with the Omi Alliance, another one of the biggest yakuza organizations, Kiryu is pulled back into the folds of the criminal underworld to do all he can to stop all hell from breaking loose.
