I can't say enough how good the stories are and how compelling a character Kiryu is. Ryu Ga Gotoku and Sega have done an amazing job on these games, that I've gone on to play the Judgement games and Like A Dragon, and am starting Like A Dragon: Gaiden and then Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I'm a bit of a nerd for Japan and Japanese culture, so maybe that's a factor in my rating, but in my opinion the whole series is money very well spent.
