Summary

Yakuza 4 is the fourth game in Sega's crime drama series, known as 'Ryu ga Gotoku' in Japan. As a first for the series, the story is split between the viewpoints of four different protagonists.

Titled Yakuza 4 and it deserves a 4, and that's being generous. The story is a mess, tangled up in convoluted twists that make it hard to care about anything happening. The movement and combat? Still as clunky and dated as Yakuza 3, with Saejima's combat being an exercise in frustration rather than fun. Some chapters are downright unbearable and the chase minigames are bad, and the one where you have to evade the police is infuriating.

Even if you're a die-hard Yakuza fan, this game will test your patience. Save yourself the headache and skip it.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! Thank you Tanimura for your moldy milkshake, and saejima... your raw shrimp, Akiyama your stinky trash and Kiryu... you harukas candy.

Unironically peak of the series. best game, wont ever be topped. Tanimura missing in action, saejima's lucious locks, and of course our billionaire king Shun Akiyama. This is the best game in the series and I will not trust or listen to anyone who disagrees. I think it has the best combat, the best pacing between characters, and some great moments. The final boss is abysmal however.

The worst yakuza game I’ve played

Combat Y0>Y7>K2>K1>4>3
Too many characters and none has a cocked combat system but I gotta admit they were fun sometimes.

Story
Y0>Y7>Y3>K1>K2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4
Holyshit its terrible with a nonsense plot twists and plot dumb, complete failure to make the story interesting while adding pretty interesting characters... part 1&2 were somewhat acceptable, part 3,4 were 2/10

Taking break then to Y5

Yakuza 4 is a breath of fresh air for the yakuza series as know the story branches of with 3 new playable characters with unique story arcs and combat styles.this is an amazing feature as it branches the yakuza universe out by using other characters . The combat in this game is good as well as the mini games.my only gripe I have with yakuza 4 is within its environment as it doesn’t bother to shift from kamurucho
