Your skills as a player are equally under pressure in this exciting game. “Sleeping Dogs” is a third-person game with an impressive open world. The gameplay is visceral and brutal. Its varied nature means that players are unlikely to get bored. Gamers perform a wide range of martial arts moves and partake in gunfights with a huge arsenal of weapons. There are also car chases and vehicular shootouts that keep the action fresh throughout each level. If you ever get tired of the story mission, explore the open urban environment. Play mini games of poker, bet on cockfights, sing karaoke, and take part in illegal street races.

  • Fresh, compelling, and long-lasting.

    Despite the technological prowess and biting satire of GTA, Sleeping Dogs sets itself apart from other urban open worlds in some big ways: - Compelling undercover cop storyline in a new setting - Hong Kong as opposed to America - under a tighter yet smoothly-progressive mission structure where you are good and bad - or more of one over the other. - Side quests that support the narrative elements and your abilities, often funny or interesting. So many street races, too, and the driving mechanics are tight and awesome; the RAM ability... A Godsend of fun. - Collectibles scattered throughout that aid your progression. Health shrines increase your max health; Jade Statues earn you a point to learn a new fighting move and a life lesson, lockboxes for cash and clothes, and more. - Hong Kong is alive thanks to authentic representation of Cantonese-English language mixing in NPCs and main characters, interesting random urban life moments ("Help! He stole my purse!" - Drop-kicking the guy is hilarious every time), a strong attention to environmental detail based on wise on-location scouting done during development, and your various options and challenges around every corner assuring you'll do much more than missions with flexibility. - An emphasis on melee combat than gunplay, even though gunplay will take up a nice chunk. It's also sensical; this is a story about gangsters that are aware of their environments and the impact of their actions, and an emphasis on gun combat would make Hong Kong an unrealistic warzone, because an over-the-top satire like GTA this is not. This is, however, a believable, personal crime-cop thriller where you'll be attached to the characters in surprising ways led by a compelling lead, Wei Shen, voiced by Will Yun-Lee. Aside from him, Kelly Hu and other notable voice and Hollywood actors are here. Best to not spoil, but you've heard some before and they do a good job. Their characters feel like they serve a role in Wei's journey rather than random criminals with a few missions before they disappear. Sleeping Dogs does suffer, though, from lack of technological polish. Wei can be wonky to control frequently due to his heavy weight in-game (but his character is light and fit), character models can look like plastic dolls, animations can be weak at times, and the freaking camera has an annoying mind of its own. After a while, you learn to leave the camera alone. Then there are the gunplay mechanics which are servicable at best. While it feels good to shoot, some button choices for cover, picking up weapons and leaping won't always stick and might risk your life in combat. If you're used to more traditional/popular cover-shooter mechanics in action games, this game will take some getting used to. Overall, gun combat was still fun and didn't overstay its welcome, serving the narrative well, too. Sleeping Dogs may have its issues, but the fun and variety is long-lasting and like no other thanks to the emphasis on melee combat, collectibles that serve you, and variety in challenges. It's fresh and even when you're done with the lengthy story missions, nothing you do is boring. Even drinking soda gives you increased melee damage, and that can come in handy when doing drug busts where you have to kick thugs' asses first - who are all over and progressively get tougher - hack cameras, and direct cops to arrest them during a deal later. Added cop rep equals handy abilities. And not to mention the criminal side quests. Be good and bad, have all the same fun. Make sure you have a pork bun, because a man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man. You'll know what I mean when you play. *The PS4 edition comes with two DLC missions and slightly-better textures and character models, but only marginally. The city itself looks better here than on last-gen consoles. It will still be an improvement for you.

  • Quality Remaster

    It appears Squaresoft and a third-party have remastered Sleeping Dogs for the PS4, and they did a pretty good job transferring the last-gen game play and graphics ported to the new system. For the money I believe it is worth it, still has a very good storyline that males you want to complete all the various missions and side stories. I would recommend the remastered Sleeping Dogs to anyone who is a fan of the original title.

  • Stands out fairly well as an open-world ...

    Stands out fairly well as an open-world game that intermixes free flow combat, third-person shooting, and GTA-style free roam. It's a good street-level crime drama story-wise. Main character's somewhat unlikeable, but you see past his personality for the most part.

  • Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand

    A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man. I LOVE this game! Purchased it for PC, now purchased it for my PS4. I love just spending time in the beautiful world of Hong Kong, driving around visiting vendors, seeing the sights once I finished the games main story. While I have some logical issues with how the story line is written and develops it's not enough to detract from the game. The fighting is great and pretty accurate to Martial Arts. Not much gun play which is fine with me. More driving and hands on fighting which is a nice change from many other games.

  • Amazing Game

    Sleeping Dogs is a large anomaly in the Open World Street Crime Genre. Diverging from its contemporaries, Sleeping Dogs provides stellar Gun-play and combat. Simultaneously, the driving in Sleeping Dogs is a step above its contemporaries. Sleeping Dogs has a compelling story in which the characters and the city of Hong Kong are both incredibly portrayed. Sleeping Dogs is a must play game.

  • Worth to add to collection..

    Had to get this because there wont be a sequel with UFG defunct, and sales werent where the publisher thought theyd be. So in hindsight this becomes a rare collectible depending on the person.

  • Good to play again on different system.

    Played this on Xbox 360 a few years back. Decided to get it again for PS4. Better this time around because of the higher graphics,extra missions and downloadable content already on it. An entertaining improvement.
