A very good game you wouldnt know this from the demo but it is a fantastic game. Its like a bad ass japanese film and game rolled into one. If you were thinking about picking this game up i highly recommend it. Its a very big game too so its got bang for the buck going for it.

Sega as a knack for releasing horrible demos. Yakuza 4 is my favorite game so far this year.

Yakuza 4 seems like an OK and I might borough that off my friend but I'm just going to wait until GS reviews this game.

Really? Is it a lot like Yakuza 3, cause I didnt like the beat em up combat, just not my thing. And the gameplay and character movement just seemed clunky and awkward to me, looked very dated.

I'm sincerely beginning to think they have actually forgotten.

Anyway yeah, it's a good game. Outdated and clunky like Y3 but still fun.

Yeah. Yakuza 3 was the worst in the series to me. Even though I am a big fan of the series, I am against the wall on getting 4.

I've been playing for awhile now and I'm loving it. Of course I expected that because I'm a big fan of the series. I have already played around 20 hours and barely touched the main story.

It's definitely worth the money especially if you can get it from Bestbuy where it's on sale for 39.99. Great price for what you get with this game.

What didn't you like about it compared to the others? I really enjoyed 3. The revelations have been a great addition to the series. For me 1 is the worst, but mostly because of the english voice work. It was horrid.

LOL, so true on Sega. I haven't finished yet but so far, it's shaping up pretty nicely. Even though I knew I'd probably like it, I got to say I'm lovin' it the most (at this point in the year, that is).

I know right? I'll never forget the Valkyria Chronicles demo. I played it several different times trying to figure out what all the fuss with about. I thought everyone was on some serious s*** until I finally bit the bullet and got the game. Anyway, Yakuza is awesome. I can't believe they'd release such a crap demo.

I also agree Yakuza 3 did not get my attention like part 1 and 2 did, thanks god they did a good job on part 4.

I loved Yakuza 1, 2 was pretty good, 3 was alright.. I'll probably wait a bit on Yakuza 4.. There are just so many games coming out right now that i'll wait until I can get it a bit cheaper... Also not real crazy on the 4 characters things...

I heard Yakuza 4 is more like Yakuza 3.5. Not very many changes to combat. I absolutely loved Yakuza 3. I guess it does seem outdatedconcerning the gameplay.I'll pick this one up when the price drops significantly.

i am a big fan of the series and yakuza 3 has one of the greatest mafia stories in the history of gaming, so far 4 is a great game and the different characters is a breath of fresh air

In terms of story, Yakuza 3 was the weakest, imo. It had a very slow start and didn't get interesting until halfway. Gameplay was the best though (not counting Y4 of course.) Yakuza 1 had one epic story.

A lot of fans of the series seem to feel that way. I thought it was really good. I wouldn't call it the best as the above poster did though. Yakuza 1 story was great, but the english voices just didn't allow to feel as connected to the story and setting like the others. It just didn't feel as authentic.

Either way Yakuza is a great series and to anyone riding the fence on this game, I highly suggest going to bestbuy and getting for $40. At the price you are definitely getting your money's worth.

Yeah its combat is pretty much beat em up style. But if you level up and learn all the heat finishers and combos and what not its alot of fun. The combat is one of the things i loved the most out of the game especially if you learn how to do it properly you can roll through anyone quickly plus my most favorite part of the game is how beat up dudes look after you fight them then they apologize give you some money or an item combat is solid if you learn how to do it right especially with Masa or Kiryu or Akiyama Taigs combat is real slow but its not bad

WHAT?! You really need to play some organized crime games besides Yakuza then. At the end of the day...to each their own. Dude said in the history of gaming...LOL.
