This is a weird game for me. I really like the yakuza series gameplay a good majority of the time, but this one is probably the worst and/or weakest one next to 3. I found Brawler to be unremarkable, Gunner was too simple for my liking and realistically the most overpowered style in the game, Wild Dancer is one I used for half the game, but after that it felt to weak. Sword Fighter was my go to style for the 2nd half of the game, as it is the most well balanced and has the blocking ability. The Bosses in this game were really annoying to deal with. I found them to be bullet sponges that take a long time to deal with. But the biggest problem I have with the Game is the Trooper system. The Trooper System is cool in theory, giving you boost to your stats for a limited time, but the problem is that they are tied to almost everything stat wise and it dosen't help that Health Upgrades give you an atom size increase. But this game isn't all bad, I liked the story a lot in this game with twists and characters I didn't expect, the game is really good looking, they don't show the penis in the bathhouse fight, and the music slaps. Just a game that has more style then substance overall.
