The editors liked

  • Fight scenes are loads of fun and you can spend hours exploring and eavesdropping on conversations that will make you chuckle. Minigames such as playing at the arcade
  • Batting cage
  • Or helping damsels in distress will keep you entertained. Casual gamers who would rather watch a game than play it will enjoy it. Will take you 90 hours to complete if you play every minigame and side task
  • Multicharacter presentation is interesting and fun
  • Plenty of sidequests and diversions deliver an incredible amount of things to see and do
  • Easy to learn but very fulfilling combat
  • Excellent localization.
  • New playable characters are terrific
  • Engagingly melodramatic story
  • Brawling is ridiculous
  • Brutal
  • And satisfying
  • Tons of stuff to do in Kamurocho.
  • It looks amazing - the characters and environments are very lifelike. Great voice acting. There’s tons to do in Kamurocho
  • From the main storyline to substory side-quests and mini-games like golf or arcade games. Interesting storyline. Amazing details are present throughout. You could probably spend a month playing and not complete it. Multiple difficult levels. Can see snippets from the past fo

The editors didn't like

  • Graphics seem a bit dated. Cut scenes are way too long and can’t be skipped
  • Not too mention they’re also often downright cheesy. There are not enough fight scenes for my taste. Subtitles are way too small for a game that requires you to read all the dialog.
  • Not as huge an upgrade compared to the steps previous series sequels have taken
  • Several annoying elements still linger
  • Approach to storytelling might not be everyone's cup of tea.
  • Story often advanced through dull voiceless cutscenes
  • Most fights are too easy
  • Visuals and sound are unremarkable.
  • There’s only Japanese language voice acting
  • Which may not appeal to some gamers. Chase scenes are difficult to control. Have to follow a certain progression
  • Can’t just jump into Kazuma’s story. Sometimes map can be a bit awkward to read.

  • The gritty & sometimes funny story, Hours and hours of diversions, Feeling adventurous just playing it
  • Long stretches without save points, Even longer, uneventful cut scenes, Starting over three times

  • While it never feels like the freshest slice of gaming served up by Sega, it is one of the most familiar. Veering from utterly absorbing to utterly nonsense, it revels in its existence as a unique gaming experience. 7.9/10Print this pageComments (0)Sha...

  • Abstract:  The Yakuza series has always been stuck in a perennial time warp. The most notable change you could attribute to the games has been its constantly expanding story and cast of characters, all the while keeping the mechanics of gameplay largely intact....

  • Yakuza 4 bietet mehr als nur gut gesetzte Pointen und sin(n)vollen Zeitvertreib. Die Geschichte ist genauso komplex und ausgereift, wie man es schon den vorherigen Yakuza Titeln gewohnt ist. Videosequenzen können sich ab und an schon mal a la Kojima i...

  • Spannende Handlung, Riesiger Umfang, Abwechslungsreiche Nebenaufgaben, Kamurocho wie es leibt und lebt, Gewohnt spaßige Kämpfe, Vier spielbare Protagonisten
  • Fehlende Lokalisierung mitunter recht anstrengend, Technisch bisweilen überholt, Kaum frische Ideen, Nicht immer optimale Steuerung
  • Ohne sich an irgendwelche Experimente zu wagen, spult Sega bei Yakuza 4 das vertraute Programm ab, was per se natürlich nichts schlechtes sein muss. Die Handlung bietet wie gewohnt packende Unterhaltung, die unterschiedlichen Protagonisten wirken unge...

  • Yakuza 4 erfindet sich nicht neu. Trotzdem ist durch die Tatsache, dass ihr nun vier Charaktere spielen könnte, doch ein großes Stück Abnwechslung dazu gekommen. Die Geschichte ist spannend erzählt und hat immer wieder japan typische Wendungen, mit den...

  • unglaublich dichte Atmosphäre, vier unterschiedliche Charaktere, Spielzeit von mindestens 15 Stunden, jede Menge Nebenmissionen, abwechslungsreiche Prügeleinlagen, sehr gute Unterhaltung für Spieler ab 18
  • keine deutsche Lokalisierung, teils sehr lange Dialoge zum Mitlesen, Grafik nicht auf PlayStation 3 Niveau

  • Auch der vierte Teil der Serie ist eine gelungene Kombination aus storylastigem Rollenspiel und actiongeladenem Beat'em Up mit allerlei abwechselnden Minispielen. Der fade Beigeschmack der fehlenden Lokalisation bleibt allerdings. Zudem verlangt die Re...

  • Yakuza 4 knüpft direkt an den Vorgänger an und kann trotz gleicher Grafik-Engine noch immer bei der Optik punkten. Eine verbesserte Bewegungsfreiheit die dem Spieler nun erlaubt auch auf Dächern oder im Untergrund zu agieren und die Möglichkeit vier P...
