A 2012 release in Japan, PS3-exclusive Yakuza 5 will finally make its way to international PSN stores in 2015. When it does, international fans can finally play the biggest, though not necessarily best numbered Yakuza game.
Yakuza 5‘s graphics are about what you’d expect out of a late-gen PS3 game, but what’s most visually impressive about…
-
Five different Japanese cities...
-
...Which are incredibly detailed, indoors and out
-
Interesting story with good characters
-
Cast has great chemistry
-
Tons of optional mini games and side quests
-
Over-the-top action
-
Easily over 45 hours, plus lots of optional stuff
-
It's Yakuza
-
Horrible pacing
-
That final chapter
-
Gotta force yourself to ignore some plot holes
-
Though very detailed, some cities feel oddly restricted
-
Customization feels unimportant
-
While length is nice to have, there's too much melodramatic fluff
