Like Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 is a remaster not a remake. And yet takes everything from Yakuza 3 and improves upon it drastically making the game very fun. However what takes a hit this time is the story, which while introducing 3 new characters (one of them being shown in Yakuza 0) in Akiyama, Tanimura, and Saejima. All characters are very likable in their own way. Gameplay is fun using Kiryu, Akiyama, and Saejima, Tanimura takes a hit in the department of gameplay as his "Special move" is a parry that has an issue working. The final boss is very unfair, and you have to stock up on ALL 4 Members. Substories and Minigames still remain fun. The story is good starting off, but then sort of sticks the land, but could've crashed if they did anything else. Great Game though
