You really feelYakuza 4 is a game about the japanese mob, its a brawler with many side quests. The story is very deep. With lots of twists. You really feel for the characters in the game. Many people compare it to gta. But its not trying to be gta. It the spiritual successor to SHENMUE so its more like that. And yes its packed with lots of minigames. Which has a japanese quality over it. If you've played minigames from Super Monkey Ball. Like Monkey Billiards and Bowling and such mini games. The feel is very similar and accurate and very entertaining. Also anyone that likes japanese culture just a little, would probably like to make babies with this game. It has eng subs and japanese speech to preserve to original feel of Yakuza voice acting. As the Yakuza has their own words and curse words. Its interesting and It feels natural to listen to them shouting in japanese with deep voices. I highly recommend this game from the deepest reaches of my heart to anyone that likes Japanese culture or this could work as an introduction for you.… Expand

This is one of the few games that can tell a great story, worry not if you're a newcomer, the games story can be enjoyed throughly even if you haven't played a previous game. Check out a few game play videos and see how brutal the combat really us. Aren't you tired of shooting people in the face already? Wouldn't you rather beat someone down with a Pylon? Not convinced yet, then read this:http://kotaku.com/#!5772702/ping+pong-for-perverts-courtesy-of-video-games. Yeah there's a mini-game where you play ping pong with a hostess and get bonus points for looking at her breast without getting caught....You've been missing out. Buy it… Expand

   Yukuza 4 is an excellent game. The free roaming RPG mechanics and real world locations are back in force, as is the brutal / hilarious combat.Yukuza 4 is an excellent game. The free roaming RPG mechanics and real world locations are back in force, as is the brutal / hilarious combat. In fact... Not much at all has changed since Yakuza 3. It is a bit disappointing to have the old Kamarochou as your only explorable location and Yakuza 3's Okinawa sprawl is certainly missed. That said, Yakuza 4 IS a better game than it's predecessor. This is not so much due to the now re-instated hostess clubs (which were annoyingly edited out of part 3), but due to the fantastic plot, which weaves together the stories of four different playable characters (each with a unique fighting style). It's a pleasure to see the plot's mysteries slowly unravel and the characters thread's inevitably come together. I don't want to spoil the ending, but jeez, I'll just say: BEST END BOSS FIGHT EVER! The game is at turns funny, touching and totally bonkers. But it is always very, very entertaining.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (I played this on RPCS3) This game has 4 playable protagonists... and it somehow works. The story started well but ended off pretty badly. (((R U B B E R B U L L E T S))) The combat is really good each character has their own style. The open-world at first looks bad (because there is only Kamuracho) but it is super deep, you can crawl in the sewers and on the buildings.… Expand

   Pas de gros changements d'un Yakuza à l'autre : c'est toujours aussi dirigiste et linéaire, la mise en scène toujours aussi ridicule, les voixPas de gros changements d'un Yakuza à l'autre : c'est toujours aussi dirigiste et linéaire, la mise en scène toujours aussi ridicule, les voix japonaises (sous-titrées en anglais) sont à se tordre et si les cinématiques atteignent un niveau technique presque acceptable, l'environnement du jeu lui-même est juste à peine moins laid que dans Yakuza 3, lui-même à peine moins laid qu'une vieille croûte PS2..
   
   Par ailleurs, quelques bugs font dresser les cheveux sur la tête, comme par exemple ces jolis reflets lorsqu'il pleut, de belle facture, reflets qui disparaissent brutalement et entièrement lorsqu'on incline légèrement la caméra vers le bas... il faut la voir pour la croire, cette programmation de Kossovar !
   
   Pour le reste, entre deux cinématiques de blabla interminables, c'est de la baston très bête et sans intérêt et la foire aux combos idiots. La présentation générale baigne toujours autant dans le mauvais goût, les menus, les boîtes de dialogues, tout est à l'avenant. La licence Yakuza reste fidèle à elle-même, une telle constance à végéter dans le marasme vidéo-ludique est un pathétique exploit !… Expand
