It's strange that this is the only other mainline Yakuza game that only has Kamurocho as an explorable location but it makes up for it by having 4 playable characters. I enjoy the fact that every character has their own fighting style and really helps the game it remain fresh as possible. I love the way the story is managed with how each characters story is interwoven into one connected story and aside from the Rubber bullets twist I feel like it was done really well considering the fact this was the first attempt for the series as well. I do feel like Kiryu was kind of pointless in the grand scheme of the story but I don't mind. That final chapter and 3 of the final bosses were really good I did have a problem with Tanimura's boss which is a shame considering I was growing to like his fighting style and I felt like a boss that could counter it would of been pretty cool. I love Taiga Saejima's character however I feel like the twist ruined part of it which is a shame. Akiyama is such a great character as well it was also a nice addition to tie him with the first game with him being one of the civilians picking up the money near the end of the first game. Tanimura was a character I was a bit iffy with to begin with but over time his story was pretty good. Also For Faith is such a good song to use as the one that plays every time you launch the game.
