You shouldn't dismiss Dead Souls so easily, AG. A really good game.

I was going to give this series a real shot with the HD Collection only to find out it was only released in Japan. Laaaaaaaaaaame!

How I yearn to play Yakuza 1 and 2. Money is stopping me hunting a decent condition PS2 with component cables to play them both..

Be cool like me and start the series with Yakuza 3.

I bought a PS2 for 20£ on gumtree, got a component cable for 3£ new on ebay as well

yakuza 1 only costs 6£ and 10-15 for yakuza 2

TBH seeing Yakuza 1 and 2 in HD probably wouldnt be that spectacular. I would even go as far to say HD would probably do Shenmue much more justice than Yakuza 1 or 2, the cut scenes would look nice. I am just saying dont let the HD remasters not coming out over seas stop you from playing Y1 and 2, just get em on PS2 if you have the means to play them.

If you can help it, make sure to play yakuza 1 + 2. Preferably before 3 + 4 if it's not too late.
The first two games are seriously amazing, and i think it lets you enjoy the nods to them in the later games a lot more than just watching those recap videos. Those don't half miss a lot out.
