At Least You Can Try Yakuza 3

Yakuza 3 comes out in Japan next week. Sega hasn’t said anything about releasing the PS3 game or Yakuza: Kenzan, which preludes Yakuza 3 anywhere else yet. Bummer. As a domestic marketing push and a consolation prize for the rest of the world Sega is releasing a demo of Yakuza 3 on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. Get your Japanese PlayStation Account ready!

The demo has a brawling section and a sampler of the mini-games in Kamurocho. Head to the arcade and play one of Sega’s Answer X Answer machines, win prizes from the UFO Catcher, and try an original shooting game. You can also sing in a karaoke game and/or spend time at hostess club Stardust. Outside of the city Kazuma can also go golfing in Okinawa, but you need to buy the full game for that.
