Do you like adventures with yakuza clans, being in the company of pretty girls and cage fighting—at least, in the virtual world? If you answered yes then you are probably one of the many videogame fanatics who were clamoring for the release of Yakuza 3 in Europe and the United States. Well, you’ll be happy to know that your gaming prayers have been answered.

European gamers are in more luck because the European version of Yakuza 3 is set to be released with a Premium Edition and will come with plenty of extras—such as four options of downloadable content and a soundtrack with 31 tracks. The edition will also boast a relationship chart. If you are new to the game, then this tool will help you get up to speed as to who are the characters and how are they related to each other. If you’ve been playing the game before and you are just making a comeback to the world of gangsters, then the chart will simply help you recharge your memory.

Customers who will also pre-order the game will receive other bonus features such as mini-games for two-players and special costumes.

Unfortunately, gamers in the US will not be so lucky. If you are planning to buy the game in the US, you will have no choice but to pre-order the game. This is because the DLC features only come with the preorders and are not available on the shelves. Want to know what these DLC features are? There is Battle for Survival where you battle the big bosses of the Yakuza. There are also All-Star Tournaments where you can form 7 or 8 teams. There is also a special game called Haruka’s Request where your character explores the underworld of Yakuza gangs through a series of mini-games.
