Yakuza 5 takes players to five different cities Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka. These stories are absurd in the best way possible, and unraveling the narrative across tens of hours is a blast. It's especially interesting to go back to Yakuza 5 and see just how ambitious it actually was - maybe too ambitious in some cases. Yakuza 4 and 5, in particular, have grandiose narratives that interweave multiple character's stories. It's interesting to go back to, as the PS3 titles have elements that the series would later move away from.
Still, the stories and character development of all three games hold up exceedingly well. It's also important to keep in mind that none of the three games let players save at any time, as at this point they still had to find phones or phone booths to save in. Yakuza 3, in particular, looks and controls a little rough, especially considering it doesn't have many of the innovations the next two games would bring. Over 20 substories, minigames, and a hostess club system have been restored, meaning even longtime fans will find content they likely haven't seen - or, at least, probably didn't play themselves.Īll of these changes and updates are nice, but the three games are definitely starting to show their age. Interestingly, however, the remastered version of Yakuza 3 includes a ton of content that was originally cut in the Western PS3 version. By and large, the translations aren't complete overhauls, but small touchups that make the games fall in line with the rest of the series, like correcting certain character's names.

Despite their age, the games also look quite good, as the bright lights of Kamurocho shine off the puddles on the street. The original PS3 versions of Yakuza 4 and 5 suffered from some pretty severe framerate drops, and having them run at a crisp rate feels fantastic.

The biggest change with the collection comes with each game being updated to 1080p and 60fps, which does make a huge difference in presentation.
