Welcome to Channel IX's Excellence of the Week![EDIT] Yakuza is not on the 360. Neither is the demo. I was wrong.
Welcome to this week's Excellence of the Week where I talk about something really excellent that I happen to have. This week's Excellence is the Yakuza 3 Demo, available for free on and PSN.

Why is it?
First of all, its the demo of third iteration of one of my personal favorite series, Yakuza. You once again return to Kamurocho in the shoes of Japanese badass Kazuma Kiryu as he beats down all those who threaten his friends and his allies. Second of all, its probably one of the best Modern day, open world, Yakuza styled, japanese beat-em-up ever.

Why is it Excellent?
First, it has fast, brutal combat. This is one of the few games where I actively seek out enemies to beat down. This is the best its felt all series, which is saying something.

Second, it has minigames that don't suck! Seriously! Karaoke is actually a lot of fun, and the arcade games are also really cool. The claw game is UN-GODLY addictive.
Third, the details. This entire demo is good as a whole, but that can't attributed strictly to the combat. A lot of little new things like the lower to the ground camera, the people chatting, and my favorite, the Revelations system, which is both hilarious and useful.
Just how Excellent is it?!
In terms of Excellence, its within the ROCK AWESOME (4/5) echelon. Its really good on all counts, but is really too short for my blood. Either way, get this its free and awesome!
