Famitsu’s gievn Sega open-worlder Yakuza 3 a 38/40 review score.

To celebrate, Sega will release a demo on the Japanese PSN tomorrow, which will weigh in at 1.22Gb.

Sega has already told us that there are no plans for Yakuza 3 hitting the West any time soon.

Other notable scores in this week’s mag include Halo Wars, which scored 32/40, and, of course, High School Musical Wii, which unfortunately was only awarded 27/40.

Thanks, Gaf.

PS3center reports that the game we’re probably never going to see over here, Yakuza 3, will have a mandatory 5Gb install.

In fact, number crunchers, the exact size of the install is 5120Mb.

If we’re being honest however, we couldn’t care care less if the install was twice that size, just localise the damn game for the US and Europe.

Pretty please?

After the break you can see two new excellent new Ryū ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) trailers and a handful of high res images from Sega Japan.

One movie features beautifully rendered cutscenes interspersed with some great looking gameplay whilst the other shows you kicking people’s heads in.

The images show some more karaoke fun and some golf.

Sega told videogaming247 last week that there are there are no plans for a Western release.

Gutted.

Sega has told videogaming247 that there are still no plans to bring Japanese open-worlder, Ryū ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) to the West.

We thought we’d ask after being subjected to two sets of screenshots, an excellent looking trailer, and have seen the announcement of Japanese exclusive white, dragon-themed PS3 all in the space of one month.

However, when we asked Sega if it was on its way West, a company rep replied: “Not that I know of.”

One day, eh?

Yakuza 3 is released on February 26 in Japan.

Sega has released yet more Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) screenshots revealing what appears to be a Karaoke mini-game.

There’s a girl standing up singing, some text on the screen and some icon prompts below it.

If that doesn’t get you excited, maybe if we tell you you see our white-suited friend standing in a restaurant doing nothing, that’ll get your juices flowing.

Maybe one day we’ll be able to write that Yakuza will be due out sometime in the West. Today however, is not that day.

After the break.
