Okay guys, so here's the deal. I only have money to buy any one of the two games: Yakuza 3 or Mafia 2. In case any of you don't know what they are you should stop calling yourself gamers.

Yakuza 3 is a third-person action game with an open-world. The setting is situated in modern day Japan. It emphasises on fisticuffs, melee weaponry, or just about anything you can get your hands on! The story centres around the Japanese Mafia, also known as the yakuza.

Mafia 2, on the other hand, is a third-person shooter game with an open-world. The setting is situated in the United States of America during the 1960s and 1970s (I can't exactly remember). It emphasises on using all sorts of firearms to shoot down your foe! The story centres around the... well... the Mafia.

NOTE: If you haven't played any of the two games then vote according to which you think you'd rather buy if you had these two games as the only options left in the world!

If you've played any one of the games, then your vote should be based on whether you enjoyed/hated that particular one game you own/owned.

If you've played both, then your vote goes to which you liked best!

P.S. Please don't move this to the General Gaming section for two reasons: 1) Yakuza 3 is a PS3 exclusive and 2) I own a PS3 and want a fellow PS3 owner's opinion.

Do you care for grass? If not, I would recommend getting Mafia II. The game is set during the 40's to early 50's and you get to experience a unique setting i.e the USA of that era.
Basically Mafia II is different from your average sandbox game. You want change then get it

I forgot to mention Mafia II doesn't have side missions. So Yakuza 3 gains an advantage on this front as it allows you more freedom to do things

Not only is mafia 2 not that good of a game in general, the ps3 version of it is a technical mess lol, so i'd say you're definitely better off getting the game that's not on any other system :p

I haven't played Mafia 2, but haven't heard great things about it.

I have played Yakuza 3, and it is a brilliant game. So much to do...... you can just spend your time playing the mini games all day long! It doesn't have gun-toting action, it's all hand-to-hand but it's fun. Get's slightly repetitive sometimes, but not game-breakingly repetitive. The game is so Japanese you HAVE to buy it.

I don't need to watch their videos, I've played both their demo's. :p I loved Yakuza 3's demo, but I liked Mafia 2's just as much...

Five days left until poll closes!
