Yakuza 3

This is a fun game, and with the multiple assortment of mini-games, it is definitely a challenge.  The only real issue I had with this game, is the number of hoodlums you face seems to be never ending.  As I once said to my best friend "There sure are alot of hoods in Japan."  This game is basically a more 3 dimensional version of virtua fighter with some of the most violent take downs and moves i have ever seen in a game.  Slamming men into safety railings.  Picking up environmental objects and bludgeoning them half-to-death.  Just a lot of violence, and a decent story-line to boot.
