And Yakuza 4 got better score on Famitsu and Edge Magazine than Yakuza 3. If a critic doesn't like some game genre he can't criticize it, because he will play like a casual gamer. He will analyze the game with preconceptions. A critic who likes RPGs is more suited to do this kind of review, because Yakuza games have many sidequests and mini-games that are a essential part to really enjoying it. |
The person who reviewed Y4 review, Greg Miller, reviewed Yakuza 3 as well, and he gave that one an 8.5. The reason why Y4 got a lower score was because he didn't enjoy the story. He loved the story in Y3 so much, that he was able to ignore a lot of Y3's faults. Also, it felt like the same game he played last year; there's only been minor improvements to the gameplay throughout the whole series. It's understandable how someone can get bored and think the series has gotten stale when they lost their drive.
