    My less favorite Yakuza game. It has a great gameplay and great soundtrack, but the history feels weird and having a lot of characters doesn't help too much like in 4, you got plenty of cities, but some of them almost nothing to do, the history lost sight of what created and the end didn't explained very well. Still, a very fun game to play.

    Enjoeyd this game, you play a few different characters, and it can seem to be a little bit tedious at times. There is lots of stuff to do in the game everything from sports to singing. The game wasn't as good as the other Yakuzas, but it was still a great game, but lacked the story compared to the previous once.

    Obviously it's all the same but exciting. I dont the fighting in this game, locking onto an enemy is very difficult.

    Sure, the story starts to impede on the enjoyment especially towards the end of the game, but everything up to that point is nigh-on excellent. In the end, while it is a bit held back by the technical limitations of the PlayStation 3, Yakuza 5 builds a strong foundation with what is given and provides a substantial showcase for what the next entry will be capable of.

    It’s a shame that such an amazing game is trapped inside PS3 and therefore is condemned to frequent technical issues caused by the lack of power and will never gain the popularity it deserves. [02/2016, p.46]

    More is really more. Full of things to do, places to visit and people to meet. [Feb 2016]
