Amazing game, great story, good graphics, interesting characters, decent fight mechanics, intense fight scenes. Tons of fun and whacky things to experience in the bustling city of kamurocho. The detective game mechanics mesh well with the yakuza games style. It was a really interesting addition to the yakuza series making it a great stand alone title. Wrapped up all the loose ends in the end. Hopefully it doesn't stay a stand alone, with kiryu out of the picture and all of the character development, takumi makes a great character to keep this beloved franchise around. Id give it a 4.1. I have played all of the games in the yakuza series and this one is in my top 3 favorite but some of the previous games had more agile combat. Often times. takumi will hesitate dodging out of the way making me less inclined to use this vital part of yakuza combat. On a side note the wall jump was a pretty cool addition to combat. It was still an amazing game all things considered, but i had to dock almost a full point because of that. all and all i would definitely recommend this game for people who have played yakuza before. For those that haven't, its not a bad place to dive in for the first time.
