These screens from Yakuza 2, a mix of cut scenes and fight scenes, throw four different characters into the Asian gangster mix. Daigo Dojima, the dude in the white puffy coat; Kaoru Sayama, the chick in the sharp pants suit; Kazuma Kiryu, the dude in the unbuttoned white suit; and Ryuji Goda, the dude in the fur-lined coat. The screens don`t elicit much excitement in and of themselves, but I always like the sound of "Japanese underworld" when reading a game`s premise.

Yakuza 2 ships to retailers on September 9th (see it on shelves the 10th) for the Playstation 2.
