By contrast, the fully voiced and animated cutscenes, of which there are also many, are great, full of cinematic flair and energized by the excellent Japanese voice acting. It doesn't help that a great deal of the story is advanced through voiceless cutscenes in which characters use canned animations to express themselves. Yakuza 4 spends a lot of time telling its story-so much, in fact, that at times you'll long for an end to the chitchat so that you can get back to actually playing the game. His charming swagger and expressive nature make him a refreshing departure from the other, more serious heroes. Perhaps the best of the new protagonists is Shun Akiyama, a moneylender who charges no interest and who helps those nobody else will. Masayoshi Tanimura is a complex corrupt cop who operates by his own sense of right and wrong, even if he doesn't always enforce the law.
There's Taiga Saejima, a stoic man who has served 25 years in prison for murder and whose often expressionless demeanor slowly reveals a profound depth of emotion. But Yakuza 4 introduces three other men who share the spotlight. Until now, yakuza-clan-chairman-turned-orphanage-operator Kazuma Kiryu has been the series' sole hero. Yakuza 4 continues the epic crime saga told in its predecessors, and should you want to bring yourself up to speed on the events of the earlier games, lengthy recaps that employ cutscenes from those titles are included here.
