Yakuza 4 demo to hit Japanese PSN on Thursday

Sega's announced a demo for Yakuza 4 will be coming to the Japanese PS store next Thursday, March 4.

The 1.7Gb taster will be split into two parts: the start of the game which sees you take on the role of Shin and a battle mode.

Unlike Yakuza 3 in the west, the demo will contain karaoke, hostess clubs and arcades as distractions throughout the demo, as well as a hot springs resort and playing table tennis with girls.

Yakuza 4 releases at Japanese retail - a week after Yakuza 3 launches in the west - on March 18 for PS3.

Thanks, Siliconera.
