Yakuza 5 is an open-world crime sim sequel. It is the fifth title in a series by many which is seen as the spiritual successor to Shenmue. Yakuza 5 uses a brand new graphics engine and expands on the scope of its predecessors with five different settings spread across Japan, and five playable main characters.
The plot of Yakuza 5 continues on directly from Yakuza 4, as a truce between the two leading Yakuza clans lies close to tatters and Japan becomes embroiled in a mass of organised crime.
