Has anyone else picked up this brilliant gem of an action/adventure game by Sega ?
If you're into Japanese gangster films (from say : director Takashi Miike) and have fond memories of classic beat 'em ups such as Final Fight or Streets of Rage, then I strongly advise you to look into the Yakuza series.
Due to the several QTE events, the fact that you're roaming through several Asian cities (both fictional and non-fictional), and the fact that everything is highly detailed has caused many to label the series as a spiritual successor to Shenmue.
And best of all, Yakuza 4 offers us the chance to step into the butt-kicking shoes of not only longtime protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, but also of 3 new characters. And thankfully, each of these 3 offfer a new gameplay style when it comes to combat.
Some of the cutscenes can be a little slow and long winded, but that is part of the Japanese style of telling a story.
If you're into a fun action game with plenty of classicly styled fights, then Yakuza is highly recommended.
