I have a feeling that playing it in English is silly, been trying to get an import copy of the first game but don't want to get the "Best version". At least the concept seems pretty interesting.

Maybe I'm wrong, though. Jokes aside, it was also inconsistent to have the main characters speaking english while people in the city speaked japanese. To build afictitious but coherentworld is the secret to a enjoyable experience, Sega. Besides, I’m not expert in the subject, but I think Yakuzas do speak japanese. Maybe I’m wrong, though.

It was so bad, after a while I just didn't want to play it anymore, even though I wanted to see how the story progressed. Sega could have save a ton of money and probably not gotten such bad word of mouth if they had just used subtitles and the original J language track instead...it would have had a more limited audience, but it would have had much higher cool factor...ie, more of a noble failure vs. a commercial bomb.
