    I walked away from Yakuza 4 having had a much more fulfilling experience than I did with its immediate predecessor. The new characters revitalized the old "Tojo clan is in trouble" plot, and the different combat styles brought new life to the never-ending street brawls. I do wish that the developers left Kiryu out, as his addition feels unnecessary. Yakuza 4 brings the series ever closer to its modern-day iterations, with enough polish to be playable for newer fans of the series. I look forward to seeing what the last part of the Yakuza Remastered Collection brings us!

    When it comes to action, Yakuza 4's a blast. Each playable character has their own unique fighting style, with Akiyama's lightning fast kicks and Saejima's brute strength being particularly satisfying. And in typical series fashion, there are some top tier boss fights on offer alongside a load of addictive minigames -- including in-depth hostess club management.

With the addition of the underground map and the rooftops this is perhaps the best version of Kamurocho to explore. The music is great. The story is mostly fine, until the last quarter of the game when RGG decides to write the worst stuff they've ever written. It's so bad that it tanked the game's story for me and ruined one of the core elements of one of the main characters. Decent side content as always for this series, but not as strong as most of the other entries.… Full Review »

    I think the game is good with some flaws. I like Akiyama and his charisma..
