" ...  Introduced in this game is a new form of passive skills called the completion point system. ... But in the end It's very rewarding to collect these passive skills. ... (I recommend to get the limit breaker as soon as possible for both characters.) ... You have to invest money in yourself to level up your skills ... But by the end of the game you can pretty much become a beast, and unlocking the two secret fighting styles with the limit break, you can pretty much become a god. ... Majima is defiantly the most fun to play as.  ...  "

" ...  Majima's cabaret club czar is the addicting and I've spent maybe 10 hours of 40 playing that mini game and gaining money for the actual game.  ...  "
