![]() ![]() In the game, the combat seems to go from extremely easy to quite difficult, but don't worry if you are struggling as the game will temporarily lower the difficulty so you can keep moving forward. ![]() These enemies will be able to block attacks and will even do combos against you. However, you will find that some of the boss battles are a lot more difficult. These brawls really won’t test you once you get some of the standard upgrades that you will unlock when you gain a new level. Some of these special attacks will also have quick time events that will allow you to continue damaging and inflict more pain.Įverything in these brawls is over the top and they don't take themselves seriously at all. When you execute these special moves the camera will pan and tilt the view to get the best look at the move you have just executed. ![]() You can unlock new moves that will allow you to use your special meter with your opponent in different situations. You unlock experience as you fight these battles or complete objectives.ĭuring these battles you will begin to fill a special meter that will allow you to perform finishing moves or special attacks on your opponent once the meter has been filled. These brawls are the main way of leveling up your character. Along the way you will be jumped by anyone who seems to have a bad day and wants to take it out on you. When you do finally get some game time you will be mostly left to your own devices allowing you to explore the city as you please. It is an interesting idea to allow you to play four characters rather than just one throughout the game. It is really interesting to see how the story develops from the perspectives of these characters and how the characters are completely different. Unlike the previous instalments where you played as the same main character, Yakuza 4 introduces three more characters, that are new to the game, to play. However, I am really glad they didn't do an awful English dub. While this adds to the drama, it is a lot of work to try and sit through, as it seems that every five minutes there is a cut scene or a wall of dialogue for you to read from. In order to fully appreciate the game’s storyline, you will have to unfortunately read most of the cut scene text, as it is all voiced in Japanese. In fact in some of the scenes, there is so much text dialog or video to watch it’ll make you want skip to playing the game. There is a lot of detail in the cut scenes within the game. However if you can get over this point, you will find the information in these cut-scenes to be useful as they give you the background information on the game and the storyline that has been running through the series. These are, unfortunately, lengthy cut-scenes which seems to be a long running trend. If you are not up to speed with the series don't worry as there is a section for all newcomers in order to bring you up to date with all the events and happenings that have transpired throughout the previous games. With all the changes that have happened over the life of the game, will this 4th iteration be worth the money, or will it be worthless? I have always loved sandbox games that are well produced and the Yakuza series has always been one of those. Reviews // 27th Apr 2011 - 13 years ago // By Simon James Bonds Yakuza 4 Review ![]()
