Do you reckon I'd need to play the first three games to enjoy this?
You don't need to play all they each summarise any prior games. I would highly recommend Y3.
Y2 still plays good and has some different stuff then Y3. Y1 IMO had by far the best story, but the gameplay can feel kinda clunky.
So if you can borrow either of the first 2 maybe worth checking out, otherwise just goto Y3 honestly i don't pay taht much attention to the plot Y3 had a extremely wordy plot.

Well, I have both awesome & shitty news. Good News, Yakuza 4 has a demo out now. Bad News, You need to have Playstation Plus to download it. -_-

After playing the demo will definitely be getting this preorder and special edition.
4 characters are kazuma - brawler, taekwondo guy, aikido guy and crazy huge guy, the fighting styles are different enough to really mix up what is already an awesome game. Hope this game gets the love it deserves.
UK version:
Yakuza 4 SteelBook Edition Includes:
* Yakuza 4 game in SteelBook packaging * Bonus costumes for Akiyama, Saejima, Tanimura, Kiryu and Haruka * Battle against the bosses in survival mode * Battle in the underground fighting arena * Race the bosses in underground car parks

I liked the Yakuza 4 demo a lot. Especially how the characters were all a little different. I especially liked the guy who looked like Chief from Cuckoo's Net, who could throw those sumo-ish guys. Oh, and needless to say, when Kazuma came on screen, the adrenaline started pumping.

UK is typically shafted our bonuses for getting the special edition have been added to playstation store for free.
Think i'm cancelling my preorder i'll pick this up in a while. Unless i get bored in the meantime.

I think they'll all be a nice contrast they seem to have very different styles.

Really, granted the big guy seemed like jazuma with a strength limit increase, but tanimura i thought played the most uniquely when you took out the flashiness adn generall awesomeness of akiyama.
That said i only played the demo once, as i know we won't have access to those moves at the beginning of the game and i didn't want it to seem pants when i started playing.
