In a peak Yakuza twist, the more points you score against your opponent, the more her bathrobe slips down revealing her body underneath. Firstly, it can only be found in the sauna, which means that whilst you are playing table tennis, both you and your female opponent are wearing bathrobes. Table tennis has also been added in Yakuza 4, but with the typical Yakuza absurdity. Sadly, the music isn’t as good as the first game, but gameplay is largely the same, and that is no bad thing. The brilliant Boxcelios from last time out has a sequel – the aptly named and more accessible Boxcelios 2. Almost every minigame is featured once again such as the batting cages, bowling, darts, karaoke and traditional Japanese parlor games, along with plenty more to choose from. Yakuza 4 Remastered looks very similar to Yakuza 3 Remastered – that is, dated.īut what Yakuza 4 does feature is even more distractions over Yakuza 3.

With the inclusion of 1080p and 60fps, there isn’t much else really to write home about. Unlike the additions featured in the Yakuza 3 Remaster that added back in all the content deemed ‘too Japanese’ for Western audiences, the improvements for Yakuza 4 Remastered are more subtle in comparison. Yakuza 4 is far bigger than Yakuza 3 in every department and is all the better for it. Things improve drastically during Tanimura’s and Kiryu’s arcs as they progress the plot more dramatically, and the conclusion shows that RGG Studio aren’t afraid to branch the game out in almost every direction. This isn’t helped by him having a boss battle during the prison breakout that feels more like Yakuza 3 and the enemies’ penchant for blocking every single attack. Coming from Akiyama, Saejima’s attacks are very slow and sluggish by comparison, and getting the timing right is tricky.
Despite this though, his fighting style is the hardest to get to grips with. On Death Row for killing 18 men in a single hit, you play through his prison breakout and his return to Kamurocho. Truth be told, the whole second act featuring Saejima is the weakest section of Yakuza 4 Remastered. It does dip during Saejima’s chapters, but that part of the story is more concerned with exposition for an event that occurred 25 years before the game was set. In true Yakuza style, the plot is again strong in most parts, though perhaps not as engaging as some of the earlier entries. What is impressive though, is that even though these characters have little to no interaction with each other until the latter stages, they are all part of a bigger story that is able to flow between them.
