The Vinturi aerator softens wine's feel on the palate by accelerating the 'breathing' effect. It pulls air into the wine as it flows into either the glass or decanter creating a pleasurable taste experience, turning a good bottle of wine into a better bottle of wine.

Just do yourself a big favor and just get this camera... happy days will soon come... Excellent control and user interface layout... low light photography with the kit lens alone is a knock-out!... 4.5 frames/sec. got you covered for action shots... the HD video feature is a plus... but you'll be tu

Good Storyline and Entertaining Game
7/22/2008
The storyline for Yakuza is probably the best part about the game. The loading screens are undoubtedly the worst. It can get annoying especially if you are stuck at a certain spot in the game. Fighting multiple people at once takes some getting used to but it's fun.

Looking Forward to Yakuza 2.
6/21/2008
The game was pretty good. The storyline wasn't bad and the learned fighting moves were ok. Looking forward to Yakuza 2, hopefully there will be different fighting styles to choose from and some different free-roaming mini-quests.

You are Kazuma Kirryu - The Dragon of Dojima.... Neat game!
6/12/2008
I recently only played it as it had been in my collection for quite sometime, The story was phenomenal for a game and it moved very well.

Yakuza tells the story of Kazuma Kirryu a yakuza who is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit (which i find to be hilarious as he is a criminal in the first place!) and then returns in the middle of a conspiracy which he must solve and get out of. It presents typical Yakuza cliche's of cutting one's little finger as a sign of shame on not meeting his Oyabun's (Underboss) instructions among other things japanese. But its done well.

Now i rate this game 4 stars as i felt the gameplay could have been improved more and made more productive in terms of removing those silly street fights that become more irritating and not necessary. The controls were a bit dicey as the camera angle can be a bit weird to get used to when fighting and adjusting the hits to face.

But beyond that its a decent enough game which i enjoyed and look forward to the sequel. Recommend strongly 4 Stars, for rent.

Gets me in a personal soft spot, but objectively pretty good too.
12/14/2007
I will concur with some of the other reviewers that say that this game is not quite what it could be. The gameplay is somewhat repetitive, but in a way that most brawler type gameplay is. It's a fun repetitive. It also has a nice modern-RPG feel to it, with the inclusion of certain aspects like buying food in restaurants or convenience stores to recover health, experience points, items, and the way money tends to work in the game. It's very cut-scene heavy at times, but the story and voice acting are surprisingly good, considering how bad both of those aspects have gotten to be in most recent games.

What I want to praise this game on the most is the detail and nuance with which it recreates its aesthetic setting. This was done absolutely superbly -- possibly the best representation of a real-world locale I have ever seen in a game. To compare, it is not as massively-accessible as the Grand Theft Auto games (San Andreas most of all), not as block-for-block tightly researched as True Crime or The Getaway, but it absolutely feels like the parts of Tokyo it sets out to feel like and it portrays not just a landscape that looks real but a living-breathing urban organism complete with crowd ambiance, realistic store fronts, and plenty of shops and businesses that can actually be accessed during the game. It makes the locales in the other games I mentioned feel generic and stale. I can't give this game enough praise for this aspect of its execution. It would be nice if the camera could be freely rotated while you wander around in the city (it can be rotated during battle sequences), and I would have liked the addition of some means of real-time transportation around a larger physical area (namely vehicles, whether cars or a subway), but it's easy to ignore the lack in these cases by how much is delivered within the lush, zoomed-in frame the game designers decided to take. I'd really like to see this game set the standard for future instances of games that have a player traveling around a large-scale urban setting (like GTA, The Getaway, True Crime, whatever) in terms of NPC activity, ambiance, and detail.

Why I don't give it five stars is because I think that this is the only part of the game worth praising so heavily. Nothing else about it is bad, but if it didn't have the fantastic attention to detail in setting and aesthetics, it would almost be a mediocre game. Gameplay consists of walking, brawling, and RPG-style two-or-three choice multiple-choice dialogues that effect side stories and certain scenes (something I'm happy to see in a game considering that the industry seems to stopped including details like these), and that's about it. The fight system is fun but could be better. All in all a good start for a franchise, and a real breath of fresh air cross-genre piece that's somewhere between Grand Theft Auto, River City Ransom, and Shenmue.
