Sleeping Dogs

After a protracted development, which at one point saw the game planned as the next instalment in the True Crime series, United Front Games eventually found a publisher for their open world action-adventure title in Square Enix. Sleeping Dogs difficult development is certainly evident in the games rough edges that occasionally see vehicles or enemies appear from nowhere or the player character finding their body ghosting through objects in the game world. Despite this slight lack of polish it is hard to imagine many gamers not finding the game thoroughly entertaining.

The obvious point of comparison is of course the Grand Theft Auto series and while it doesn't quite match up to Rockstars epics it does improve upon them in some ways. The Hong Kong setting for example makes a welcome change from the usual US based cities. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but the more sparing availability of guns allows for an increased focus on hand to hand combat. Clearly influenced by the recent Batman games this combat goes a long way to making the game as enjoyable as it is.

All in all, regardless of its rough edges, Sleeping Dogs is certainly worth playing.

i absolutely love this game its made me come back into liking gaming because i went off it for a while, its like true crime on the old ps2 but better. its story is brilliant and intense! its so addictive and fun to play its hard to get off once your on it and there is plenty to do aswell. The graphics are brilliant! i want a second one to come out already! i prefer it over GTA 4 too!

What can I say, i loved it! The gameplay and graphics are awesome. Both which are topped off with an amazing and intense storyline. Bought at full price and was worth every penny. Favourite game of 2012 so far!

One of the most action packed games I have ever played in my life. Everything about it is just so entertaining! The fighting especially is brilliant. I bought at full price for 38 pounds and i dont regret it at all. Was well worth the money. great story that pulls you in all the way through with constant twists,. If you are a fan of Gta, you will love this!
