Yakuza 2

• It won't help or hinder your game but every time you get a new weapon try to unlock that weapon Heat move. Some are very brutal/satisfying (I love the pliers).

• Go into it with a couple of katanas or something. As I recall, there's one that does some sort of stun in addition to a shitload of damage. Fight goes something like this: stun, stun, stun, heat move, obligatory ho ho now I'm really mad cutscene, stun, stun, stun, heat move, end cutscene.
