Sleeping Dogs is a fantastic game. It looks great and has great music. The combat is largely martial arts rather than solely guns. The driving physics are mediocre compared to GTA but that is no reason to skip it and if you haven't played GTA you won't notice.

Sleeping Dogs is set in the neon-lit and congested heights of contemporary Hong Kong. Not many games have chosen this city as its playground, which already makes Sleeping Dogs more unique compared to the rest. Hong Kong simply exudes a vibrant yet worn-down atmosphere regardless of the media portraying it. Moreover, Sleeping Dogs is brimming with o...
What did help a lot in making Sleeping Dogs' representation of Hong Kong so accurate and lively are the developers doing the groundwork. They not only had a team taking photos from the city itself but to encapsulate the fever-dream crime atmosphere in Hong Kong, the creative leads of Sleeping Dogs watched plenty of Hong Kong action flicks. The most...
What immediately stands out in Sleeping Dogs as early as the main menu is its electrifying oriental soundtrack. It's funky enough to warrant hour-long loops. This fusion of electronic beats and traditional Chinese instruments perfectly sum up Hong Kong's geopolitical position. Of course, apart from the musical themes, the game also incorporates a c...
Speaking of which, Sleeping Dogs' story is a lot more nuanced.

The conflict is that t...
The game's writers and creative leads didn't exactly have to venture too far for inspiration as Hong Kong has had plenty of violent gang-related fightsand politics. The game's backdrop was a seething rivalry between the fictional Sun On Yee Triad and the 18K Triad who were not only fighting for money but also for supremacy in Hong Kong. Except, tho...
Apparently, the violence in Sleeping Dogs isn't too far-fetched, according to an ex-Triad member. Wei Shen slamming his enemies' heads into exhaust fans as they spout blood out their ears or assumed undercover agents getting wrapped with their intestines while still alive is just a regular business for the typical Triad member. To that end, Sleepin...
It can be rare for a western-made game based in foreign settings to feature localized language even in its English settings, but Sleeping Dogs pulled it off masterfully. The voice actors' Hong Kong accents feel believable (at least for non-Hong Kong natives) and they even intersperse some Cantonese or Mandarin terms and expletives in their accented...
I played Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition over the last few days and my conclusion is: It is one of the best games of all times I played, even if it has its flaws. First of all: The setting is fantastic and so intense.

Aug 16, 2012 · Sleeping Dogs is a fun and forward-thinking sandbox game. The missions may be samey, but the core experience is varied and enjoyable. Great stuff.
Oct 8, 2014 · The differences here might not be worth paying for a second time, but if you missed out on this great open-world action game the first time, you shouldn’t repeat that mistake. In This Article...
