In many ways GTA has been dethroned by this game. Sleeping Dogs is a lot of fun, and seriously addictive. It may lack the complete freedom of GTA IV (no flying vehicles available), which I guess is still considered the benchmark for open world video games even 5 years on, but Sleeping Dogs is far, far more refined with superior graphics and details, as well as featuring a much more likable protagonist.

As I began to play I felt that the game was very similar to the True Crime games. I later learned that it was actually planned as True Crime: Hong Kong, before Activision cancelled it and passed it over to Square Enix who continued to develop it as a new title. So this really is the 'spiritual second sequel' to True Crime that we never got, and I have been accidentally referring to it as such. As far as I am concerned it is.

The game stars Wei Shen as an undercover cop raised in California who returns to Hong Kong to infiltrate the mob. It's full of clichés but is highly entertaining and never once boring. There are a variety of missions including gunfights, fist fights, foot chases, car chases, boat chases, espionage, as well as multiple side missions and upgrades. Highly addictive stuff indeed. And bloody too, very, very bloody. Believe me, the game justifies the age restriction without ever seeming forced.

I do have some complaints, like not being able to hail taxis and missing them every time you dash for them. Also there never any cars to hijack when you need them, meaning you'll have to run up the street hoping to block the way of a passing vehicle. The radio stations are not as humorous as GTA, but there are some nice tunes on there.

The game is liberal with trophies, and features loads of DLC on the PlayStation Network, including two new missions sets. I'm not done with this game yet!

Graphics A Sound A Gameplay A+ Lasting Appeal A+

I was really skeptical about this game because it looked just like another GTA clone. You can definitely feel that formula, but it's improved. I read reviews about this game through other websites and got a general idea of what I was getting into.

The story is top notch as well as the voice acting. Controls are really responsive. I think the focus on the fighting engine is the best part. I try to find reasons to fight people in the game. I'm not a big racing fan, but the vehicle controls are smooth and realistic feeling. The authenticity is what I love. I enjoy the Chinese culture and have many Chinese friends so playing the game felt familiar.

The main issue I have with the game is the camera control. While driving, fighting, or just generally traversing the the game there are times when the camera gets all wonky. Other than that I can't think of any reason not to at least play the game. Good job Square-Enix for picking up this game instead of letting it die.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Sleeping Dogs" (2012) is a game that can not be not mentioned in one sentence with GTA. Is it was good as GTA5 lets say? No. Given the reportedly 250 million $ budget of GTA5, "Sleeping Dogs" simply couldn't be better. That said if you do not compare it with GTA series, "Sleeping Dogs" is a pure fun game.

I liked many things in it - story, fighting, driving, voice acting, city. City itself is a big enough but not to big - i liked it because you don't need to drive like 10 minutes from point A to point B. Fighting is a fun thing, i liked the whole kung fu" and that stuff. Shooting mechanics were also solid, but i didn't get it what was wrong with weapons - one moment you have a gun, next time after you get in a car load a game - you don't. But what "Sleeping Dogs" in my opinion did much, much better then GTA is driving mechanics. Driving is much more fun then it was even in GTA 5 - and i loved GTA 5 totally. Although there isn't big car variety, its enough get make for some fun driving. I liked the collectibles in game simply because they add to the game health, money. But there isn't really what to do with the money itself in this game unfortunately - you can buy clothes, cars and some decorations for your room o flat.

Overall, i finished "Sleeping Dogs" and had much more fun then i thought i would. This is a very fun game with some good if not the most original story, cool open world and some dragon kicks moments that never got old. Fun game in all directions.

Open-World games are always popular among gamers . for instance GTA & Mafia series are 2 top Open-World series and I love both . True Crime was an open-world game that actually sold good then United Front Games decided to continue franchise and make True Crime : Hong Kong . Activision was supposed to publish it but for some reason Square Enix, publisher of Final Fantasy series announced that it has taken the charge of publishing this game and title also change to "Sleeping Dogs" . no one expected much from Sleeping Dogs but it did quite a feat . the game-play is perfect . Kung fu and martial arts are as exciting as Driving around the city . designing of the city is great . in the Sleeping Dogs Hong Kong is your playground . you can enter illegal races, gamble on cock fights or kick back some karaoke . Epic high-speed thrills like burning up streets or tearing up the sea in a vast array of exotic cars,super-bikes and speedboats is fabulous . Story is wonderful and Screen-play attracts players . I suggest you play this masterpiece and join the Sleeping Dogs.

My favourite game ever! A man who never eats pork bun is NEVER a whole man!

When I first tried to play Sleeping Dogs, I did not like it. The combat was frustrating and I never felt like I was doing it right. I took some time away from it and started it up last week and I loved it!

This isn't your typical open world city game. It focuses on fighting combat more than guns. There are a decent amount of missions with guns, but since it is Hong Kong, they're hard to come by in the open world. The main focus of the action is fighting like you're in a Hong Kong action movie.

The combat is essentially a version of Arkham Asylum. There are counters that can be done when an enemy lights up and is about to hit. But it goes deeper as you can almost do fighting game combos to fight enemies. The flow of the combat isn't as graceful as Batman as you're not really able to connect counter after counter together. This one is more strategic as some enemies you can only counter before damaging, or ones you can only grapple or land heavy attacks.

The shooting combat is probably the weakest. It doesn't feel 100% as smooth as it should, but it suffices for the missions you need it. Normally it's just cover shooting and lock on to enemies until they're dead.

The main draw for me is the story it tells. You are an undercover cop with the Sun On Yee triad gang. You have to balance being a cop and a gangster. The side missions for the cop side are alright, they get super repetitive, but they're still fun. The side missions for the gang are more fun and varied.

It's cast of characters are fantastic and Wei is much more enjoyable to be than the generic GTA characters.

My only gripes with it are that the gunplay seems undercooked, but the focus is the hand-to-hand combat which is what makes up for it. The combat takes a moment to get used to, but it's essentially a brawler done right in an open world which really hasn't been done as all the GTA fist fights were terrible.

This is easily one of the top non-GTA open world games. Its fun to play and has a fantastic story to progress through.

This is my favourite game ever, the atmosphere if the game is great and the characters too ! This game is far too underrated to my eyes !

Smooth graphics and beautiful style and beautiful texture and amazing story. I just wish you could jump because in this game i used the kick in the air as a jump button because there's no jump in this game. I hope this game have a sequel but sadly the game company got closed down, but who knows the game company might open back up or a new company will get it and probably redo it. I hope the world doesn't give up on this game because it's a beautiful game. The DLC's are 0K. Do you have love in game it looks like a 2020 game. This game was ahead of its time that and Batman Arkham city.

(Excludes the dlcs Nightmare in North Point, Zodiac Tournament, and Year of the Snake, as I already reviewed each dlc on their separate IMDb page)

Being a huge fan of True Crime: Streets of LA, this video game was much anticipated to be one of my favorite games. Sadly, that's not what happened. The game is great; the combat is fun, and the story is intense, but some of these mechanics (for example, driving and camera panning) were too clunky for me, and the game itself felt completely different from True Crime. Whatever, it was still fun and visually beautiful, although I would say it's a bit forgettable. What I didn't forget was that pork bun vendor. "Why you don't have pork bun in your hand?"

Edit: I ended up coming back to play this video game once again for an array of reasons; for one, there's a few dlcs I've never got around to completing, second, it was 2014 since the last time I've played the main story and forgot almost everything, so I decided to start from the beginning, and third, I needed a break from Dragons Dogma, and this game seemed like a great game to play in between. Revisiting this game has been a great experience for the most part. This story of Wei taking on the Hong Kong triads by becoming a triad was a dynamic campaign, doing missions for the Sun On Lee, and also doing missions for detectives. While the story is fun, the landscape of vibrant Hong Kong is where this game grabs me. Some truly mesmerizing scenes, with plenty of fun, cool sites to explore. While I do think the driving was a little off, I was able to get used to it fairly quickly, and was able to navigate the highways and backroads with ease. The main campaign was lots of fun, although it seemed kinda short, and all the extra side missions and collectibles to find was filling, although repetitive.

There was a couple random dlcs I got that just added police missions, a random swat team mission, and a survival mission where you kick monks ass. All 3 were extremely forgettable, and probably could be avoided as they are just replayable missions that don't do or give you anything neat except either police or triad skill points .

In all, I'm really glad I decided to give this game another go, as I actually found myself more entertained than the first time I played it. The main game and all the dlcs took me a little over 40hours, but it really only felt like 15. Gonna bump my score from 3.5 Stars to 4 Stars.

Bought it years ago and I finally played the game. It took me a long time :D Now I wanted to take the time for it and was not disappointed :)

I like the game, but unfortunately the controls are a disaster and cost me some nerves. I could not always pan the camera the way I wanted to. The control with the car was also annoying sometimes.

I thought the story was cool and Wei is a cool character; the fights were fun, but the shooting sequences were not so good. The quests were actually varied and I liked that. There is actually a lot to do in the city; only the main story is quite short, but you can do a lot more. I like games that don't force the player to explore a lot - just the main story and you're done. And here you really get to decide how much of Hong Kong you want to explore. During the shooting sequences I died several times, because they are somehow not so good. The characters were all cool and the dubbing was great. I enjoyed the game, but...

-I fall through textures -An invisible car(!!!) -Jumps me -Some enemies I couldn't "escort" because they get stuck in the texture -The camera controls were sometimes annoying

But it was a good game

+Cool story&cool characters +Fights are fun +Many quests and tasks +Interesting turns in the story +Synchronization is great

An amazing, addictive game. It may be 10 years old now but the game is still so incredibly addictive and the graphics are still pretty impressive for a game as old as this. The first time I played I was quite stealthy in my approach, these days I go in all guns blazing and it's much more fun. I never get bored of playing it. I just wish that there was a sequel.

Also, don't forget that a man who never eats a pork bun is never a whole man!!!

The game was presented very well, I knew about it soon enough to put it in my list of must have games. The first 3 hours of gameplay were good, cause I was sticking mainly to the storyline, but as I started to drive around and do other stuff, the limitations of the game got me very annoyed.

You character is supposed to be a fighting and parkour master, but there are some movement limitations, for example I could sometime walk or jump over obstacles that were higher than the ankles of my character, so I would have to walk around to get back on the road.

Taxis take you only to a limited amount of places so you most definitely will have to walk a bit yourself (except for the story missions).

Escaping the police wasn't fun, in fact you want to escape it, cause you can't really use your cool moves on them, they are just gonna pop out from nowhere so strikingly that the whole fun is sucked out...

The gun play feels too chaotic and the weapons doesn't feel quite powerful rather than plain and boring.

The car handling is too arcady, and the crashing is sooo 2000, forget about it! The story was fine and the main mission were OK, and the hacking option was enjoyable, but there are just so many rushed and not polished stuff - it gets you annoyed!

This game feels and plays like an over the top Chinese cop movie, aided by well done voice acting. The general atmosphere of the open world really strengthens the feeling of being immersed in an older pseudo fictional representation of modern Hong Kong.

The story: it plays in a really tight and controlled manner which allows for a great feeling of fitting into it all. There is no need to feel lost or bored in a vast city. The player can go out and do a lot of missions, and many side quests. This game defeats a lot of other open world games simply by those means alone.

The acting: The voice acting is top notch, and as previously stated - The voice acting really is at a high level. The actors and actresses really hit the nail on the head.

It isn't perfect: It has a few irritating issues with its control system when playing with a keyboard. Buttons tend to shift meaning while playing, making it possible to miss a few important counters while playing. It goes against muscle memory. Though that's figuratively the only true issue with its design.

S tier, 10/10. Takes a while to get into but just perfect. The combat and finishing moves just work so well. The customisation is great. So much to do, such a unique and interesting city. The music is insanely perfect. I did think the story was a bit simple though, was good but a bit basic. Captures the Hong Kong movie feel perfectly however. The dlc was good but definitely not as worth while as the main story. Gave some great outfits though. The tear gas one, just so much fun. One of my favorite games of all time. Just so fun and a blast to play, timed missions were annoying sometimes but apart from that I enjoyed it so much.

This game is unbelievable. I did play the old True Crime games back in the day and loved those. I like the whole idea of being a undercover cop with not only having access to guns but also having hand to hand combat training. Fighting in this game is so much fun. I truly feel like I'm in a badass cop movie while playing this game. This game was developed so well. There's so much stuff you can do that wasn't in any other games. My favorite part is being able to jump on top of moving cars, ripping the driver out and continue driving. The cars are really nice. The city is absolutely beautiful and the missions are so exciting.

Sleeping Dogs is an action-adventure video game that was originally supposed to be entitled True Crime: Hong Kong and to be the third part of this franchise. The initial development was canceled due to budget restraints and numerous delays. Multinational holding company Square Enix stepped in and initiated a few changes before finally releasing the game under its new title. The game is available on macOS, Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Sleeping Dogs is comparable to games such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption and Yakuza IV due to its combat style, open-world setting and length.

The game's story revolves around undercover cop Wen Shen who has infiltrated Hong Kong's triads. His goal to bring down organized crime in Hong Kong isn't only motivated by professional ambitions but also by the depressing fate of his sister. However, Wen Shen soon starts questioning members of the police squad and sympathizing with members of the triads. He is thus walking on a very thin line between illegality and professionalism throughout the story.

Players will be doing a multitude of interesting things throughout the game such as car chases, computer hacking and martial arts combats to only name a few elements.

The characters are also well-developed regarding Wen Shen's shifting moral compass as well as a series of interesting side characters such as his naive old friend Jackie Ma, arrogant superintendent Thomas Pendrew and brutal criminal mastermind Henry Lee.

As for the locations, players get to discover religious temples, martial arts schools, isolated islands, busy industrial ports, elegant mansions, downtown discotheques and construction sites.

Players also get to use different vehicles such as cars, motorcycles and trucks among others.

The changes in weather are also quite interesting from rainy nights to relaxing mornings and hot afternoons.

The game's atmosphere is enhanced by a realistic depiction of contemporary Hong Kong and a wonderful soundtrack covering diversified genres such as classical music, heavy metal and jazz.

The main story of Sleeping Dogs takes about thirty hours to complete but dedicated players can easily spend another ten hours on completing numerous side missions. This game also includes three expansions. Nightmare in North Point tells the story of a dead triad member coming back as a demon and haunting the suburb. Zodiac Tournament explores an illegal fighting tournament on an isolated island. Year of the Snake focuses on a radical cult focusing on terrorist attacks. With all these different expansions, the game might offer up to fifty hours of entertainment to dedicated players and gives much replay value.

In my humble opinion, Sleeping Dogs can easily compete with similar games and might even outclass them if you are interested in Hong Kong's culture, history and location. Fans of martial arts cinema from the eighties and nineties in particular should really dig this game. Even thirteen years after its initial release, this game has aged quite well in terms of gameplay and graphics.

Things one could criticize regarding this game are that its concept rehashes ideas of the True Crime franchise, that some activities such as car rides are quite repetitive and the fact that prolonged fighting sequences lack diversity.

At the end of the day, Sleeping Dog is still worth to be played in the here and now if you like contemporary action-adventure games. It might be an outstanding discovery for anyone who appreciates martial arts cinema set in Hong Kong. This game has its very own atmosphere that separates it positively from similar games taking place in the United States of America or even in imaginary locations. Don't hesitate to give this wonderful game a dedicated try.

Classic game.

With some elements, it's better than GTA such as disguises, fighting, story, action and characters.

I had so much fun playing this game when I first bought my ps4. Sleeping Dogs and Infamous is what saved me from the crap game called Last of Us.

I recommend this game.

It's CRIMINAL that this game didn't get any sort of concrete follow-up, and it's humbling that United Front Games created such a quality open world game that Square Enix deemed a failure. Because SLEEPING DOGS does what other GTA-inspired open world games fail to do. It prioritizes being a good game first, carving out its own identity in the process. It's ironic that SLEEPING DOGS is a spiritual successor to a troubled series of GTA-inspired games - the True Crime duology - as those games felt ambitious but barren.

The sandbox of SLEEPING DOGS is rich with content, personality, and relative polish. There is PLENTY of side content, with TONS of diversity and quality. It's almost overwhelming.

Visually, this game still holds up quite well. The character models and art direction suit the overall vibe and style very well. Though I will admit that some animations during cinematics are a little bit odd or overly animated.

Gameplay is strong in this game, with a heavy focus on melee combat, but with the occasionally thrilling shootouts. I like the melee combat, but I do feel that it's not as snappy as games like Yakuza or Batman. It's bit odd that you can't counter in the middle of an animation or long combo. Driving around the streets of Hong Kong is great when you get the hang of this game's handling model and physics.

Then there's the main campaign. Missions are well designed with various objectives and intriguing level design. But the story is the big seller, here. It's flawed for sure, but it doesn't fail to impress. The way the story unfolds is well done, and characters have some decent depth to them. The crime drama nature of the story allows us to see multiple sides of the main ensemble. The characters feel like real people with their own troubles and goals. While I do wish some character arcs and plotlines were a bit more focused, I was still pretty happy with how things ended up. The script is also quite good, and occasionally great. Now I unfortunately do have a few gripes with the presentation of the story, which mainly comes down to the cinematics/cutscenes and the voice direction, as well as the last act of the game. There are many cutscenes that feel a bit stiff in terms of animation and performances. Sometimes a cutscene will play out and the voice acting is a little too comical or a bit too dry, or the action within a cutscene wouldn't fit the tone of the performances. It's like the cinematic direction is occasionally at odds with the voice direction. This odd voice direction kind of hurts the emotional impact of certain scenes for me, which is unfortunate, because there are so many great moments where everything just clicks. Where the cutscenes, the voice acting, and the script just work beautifully in tandem. Finally, the third act. It's a great wrap-up of the story, but goddamn the plot armor of our main character is impeccable. Wei Shen gets cut up and brutally drilled in the legs, and still manages to fight off some many guys and jump across platforms. Like, now things are getting a bit ridiculous.

As an open world game, SLEEPING DOGS is an absolute gem that every fan of the genre needs to try out. There's tons of great content, a beautifully crafted sandbox to explore, as well as some unique and fun gameplay to mess around with. While the voice acting and cutscenes aren't as good as I remember, they still do a decent job at bringing this thrilling crime drama to life. With good characters, memorable set pieces, and an entertaining script to bookend it all.

SLEEPING DOGS (2012) this game is gory, gritty, and slick. It allows you to experience the dark and brutal criminal underbelly of the Hong Kong Triads. The game is very GTA and gangster, which isn't normally my jam, but perhaps since I'm partial to the country of China and Hong Kong, and to Chinese culture in general, this game struck my fancy.

"Chinese-American cop Wei Shen goes undercover in Hong Kong to infiltrate a Triad organization. However, he is soon torn between his duty as a police officer and the organization he helped rise through the ranks."

This game is half Gangsta, half Cop. Part of the game is on crime and the other part on law enforcement. It features a captivating yet violent crime story.

Sleeping Dogs, is a really fun, action, gun-fu game to play. It focuses on all sorts of crime, robberies, murders, heists, as well as martial arts and undercover police work etc. I loved the violent story, sharp graphics, memorable music and fun gameplay. Fighting is pretty cool, as well as driving. The was a cool game.

I didnt like the story, the characters and the vulgar situations. Its same as GTA thats why i dont like it. Sex, drugs, violence. I didnt find the story interesting, its pretty linear and i didnt feel any interest in it. Pretty disappointed of the game even if i like the atmosphere and the open world in this context but the story didnt make me want to continue and its pretty repetitive in my opinion.

Sleeping Dogs is a fresh take on the known and loved GTA-style sandbox action genre.

My first impression of the game was how polished it seemed. Everything from the interface to the general feel of the game and cinematics oozes a well-finished quality. Between the hustle and bustle of the city and the concept art, the game definitely captures a certain aesthetic that requires no effort getting used to. That being said, saying Sleeping Dogs borrows from GTA would be a huge understatement. Few additions aside, the game is basically a GTA clone to the tee.

Sleeping Dogs is set in Hong Kong, a welcome change of pace from the typical LA/NYC generic city template often seen in this kind of game. You play Wei Shen, an undercover cop out to clear the streets and on a personal vendetta. While this premise is not necessarily new, it sets the foundation for character development in a refreshing way: you get 'triad points' for doing badass things and you get 'cop points' for keeping up with your good deeds. You can spend these points in developing skills or passive abilities. The interesting bit is that these two paths aren't mutually exclusive, actually giving you more content and more depth to how the protagonist builds up.

Visually stunning, Sleeping Dogs has a fair dosage of eye-candy even if graphics aren't the main selling point in this title. On the flipside, being the console port that it is, the engine is not really optimized for a PC. If you have a fairly powerful rig, you won't have much trouble, but there's not a whole lot of room for tweaking on the low-end for all you outdated nerds reading this.

While some of the writing might seem a bit cheesy, the game definitely goes for the cinematic approach. Some big names are on voice duty and they deliver the goods. Speaking of sounds, being used to hating most of the radio tracks on the GTA series, I figured this Asian cousin would be similar, but, to my pleasure again, I was wrong. Musicalization is very good and it ties the whole thing together to really make it seem like you're watching a movie.

The gameplay basically revolves around driving and combat. Nothing new here. The combat, however, is almost exclusively melee-oriented. The general idea is that of Jackie Chan or Jet Li flicks: you're usually heavily outnumbered but a few flashy kicks later, you walk off victorious. More importantly: it works really well. It's fun, it's easy to pick up and there's quite a variety of moves, enemies and contextual combat actions to keep it fresh and exciting all throughout. The beauty of it comes from the simplistic control layout and input sequences. The driving? Not a huge fan. It's not terrible but it feels somewhat difficult to control depending on the vehicle or mission. On the other hand, you can ram other cars off the road and hijack them on-the-fly alla Just Cause, so that makes driving somewhat amusing. There are also firearms but they don't play a huge role. In the parts where you do get to shoot a gun, even though aiming and ducking behind cover feels familiar, shooting baddies can still be pretty awkward until you get used to it.

In typical sandbox-action style, you have the ridiculous collectibles that cool kids like me never bother with, you have your side-missions, your main missions, your races, your romantic interests and your extra quickies given by random pedestrians along the way. While the amount of content is hefty, some side-missions become redundant after a while. Keeping it tasty in playtime but fresh at the same time is a balance most developers can't seem to strike nowadays. In this case, the added incentive of earning skill points to invest in your combat abilities as a reward for completing secondary objectives works moderately well.

Here's the bad news.

First off, the game is meant to be played on a gamepad. Most console ports fall prey to this problem, but in this one, K+M is not even close. The controls are already sort of awkward as is. Parkouring around the city is not very fluid, lock-on targeting is iffy and the shooting sequences can feel unnatural at first. If you add the lack of a gamepad on top of that, you're in for a headache. It just doesn't work, especially the hand-to-hand bits. Most people won't consider this a big deal, but PC games shouldn't warrant anything else other than standard PC peripherals to enjoy a smooth experience.

The second gripe I've had with this game is the lack of originality. Don't get me wrong: sandbox action games are a tried and tested formula, so it really comes as no surprise that Sleeping Dogs is a fun game. But.. really? After all these years since GTA3 hit the market, after all the reskins, shameless clones ('sup Saints Row 2?) and all the retakes on it, after all the expansions, sequels and DLCs, this is the best a developer backed by SquareEnix can come up with? It's a bit painful and it makes you wonder where the industry is headed.

In closing, Sleeping Dogs is a high-quality oriental GTA. If you can get past all the similarities and forgive a few quirks in the control scheme, you end up with a pretty robust and lengthy sandbox action game. But is this the next big thing? Probably not.
