Kamurocho inflames burn baby burn. (review of Japanese Version)
The controls take quite a while to get used to since they are very different from western shooters e.g. the shoot button is the square button instead of R1.
To make shooting more accurate you can hold down the R2 button which puts up a reticule. Then to move the reticule you have to use the left stick instead of the right stick which western shooter use, while you have the reticule up you cannot move much like resident evil 5.
But if this game is released in the west they will have to change the controls (button locations).
New to the series are partners who join you when you're not on a mission and you enter an infection zone each partner also has a submission which you can complete hostesses can also join you when you have maxed out their 20 hearts in the hostess clubs.
When you take partners out with you they can gain experience and level up to and each can also be equipped with special abilities e.g. they might throw grenades at zombies for you can shoot the grenades in a quick time event.
You can also liberate shops in the infected zone e.g. the Cruz bar in the underground mall among other locations, the further you play into the story more of the city is taken over by the zombies and the more shops you have to liberate.
The thing I didn't like about Yakuza 4 was the boring map same a Yakuza 3 but with less in it.But this time around it is a pure joy to see kamurocho in flames the destroyed city is beautiful a pumps much life (undead) into the recycled map.
This game is a must for fan and anybody who is tired of the setting should come back a gives this a go..There is so much to do in this game I could write for pages but I better stop.
Plus getting the privilege of playing as Mad Dog Majima the biggest psycho in the ryu ga gotoku series (and that's saying some thing) is worth the price alone
