Yakuza 5 screenshots feature violent fights

Yet more screenshots are in for action game Yakuza 5, this time featuring the game's sweet, violent combat.

Among the ten new images, you'll be taken on a tour of the dark side of Fukouka, in which face stepping and smashing people with hard sticks is commonplace. Of course, when criminals get weary of beating the crap out of people, they play with snowmen, so there's that, too (or maybe he's going to use that carrot to smash someone's face - who knows).

Also showcased, more intense pedestrian reactions to fights, plus special moves like "heat actions" and "revelations".

Yakuza 5 launches December in Japan, and hopefully not long after in the Americas.
