I played this game after going to Japan and got really excited when I realized that I walked down one of the streets in Kamurocho. Though I'm kicking myself cause that means I was RIGHT THERE. Whatever, this is definitely a step up from Yakuza 3. Akiyama is one of the best characters in the series and he's just one of four playable characters? Saejima's not as fun to play as unfortunately and there's a really dumb reveal later on in the story. Regardless, this is just another good Yakuza game.
