Customer Ratings & Reviews

Similar to GTA games, this is a good fun, open world game with various missions to complete and tons of hidden collectibles. Compared to GTA, Sleeping Dogs is almost too easy, even missions that have time limits to complete never really feel too stressful. Graphics are decent, the camera view can become an issue when you have too many opponents on the screen at once. Overall, its a great game, highly recommended.

fun game that i did not know about just bought because cheap

its a good open world game that focuses more on hand to hand combat but doesnt do it very well. the leveling up system leave a lot to be desired

One of the best open world game since just cause 2. It's a must buy.

Great game. Fun from start to finish. Graphics are sharp.

Has an engaging story, decent graphics, cool fight mechanics, and a lot of stuff to do in the world.

I've been waiting for this game since it was known as True Crime: Hong Kong over 3 years ago. It has finally arrived and definitely was worth the wait. If you are a fan of Hong Kong action movies like John Woo's "Hard Boiled" or Jackie Chan's "Supercop," then you'll love this game. I've lived in Hong Kong, S.A.R. and I must say that the game developers did an outstanding job recreating the atmosphere of a living, breathing HK. And even though I would have liked an exact, realistic recreation of HK, this "fictional" version still includes places named after real-life areas such as Kowloon and Victoria Peak. This is an open-world game with much of the same aspects as other games in this genre such as GTA IV and Just Cause. Its storyline of an undercover cop infiltrating the Triad organization is entertaining, albeit a little predictable. Sleeping Dogs gameplay is very fun and immersive with the driving sections, melee combat and shooting being definite highlights. Melee combat makes use of a counter system, a la Arkham City/Asylum, as well as the game's environment resulting in some gruesome finishing moves on enemies. Unfortunately, the enemy A.I. isn't the brightest compared to other games in this genre but is adequate enough to not make the game too easy. The main reason however, most people play games is for the fun factor. So when you shoot the tires from an enemy vehicle that's pursuing you for the first time, and watch (in slow motion) as it barrel rolls over you into the HK harbor, you'll know that this game has it. I hope this review was helpful to anyone interested in this game. Definitely give it a try and support game developers that actually take pride and care in what they create.

Bought it for my 12 year old and he loves it!! I would recommend it.

Not since "Enter the Matrix" has there ever been a game that combines so many great qualities from other games and allows you to do so much. Hand-to-Hand combat: Wei Shen grapples, punches, and kicks with ferocious strength and brutality. His moves are classic kung-fu. It is very much free-flow like "Arkham Asylum/City," with a plus that you can use several objects to destroy your enemies, such as fans, railings, phone booths, and window gates. You can even pick up a weapon and bash their faces in. However, grappling and counter-grappling is a bit difficult. But if you can master it, you can gain the ability to break bones and knock out your enemies very quickly. Driving: Whether you're driving a motorcycle or a car, Wei Shen can drive as fast as he wants. When you're free-roaming or doing favors for random people, you can wreck as much havoc as you want. . However, during triad and police missions you must be careful not to cause too much damage or hurt innocent people, or you will lose Police XP. Also, much like "Just Cause 2," you can jump from a motorcycle or car onto another car and hijack it! You may also hijack certain vehicles from rival groups for a LOVELY, HEFTY some of money if you ever find yourself broke. But it's not always easy. Sometimes you'll be forced to do all the driving and shooting yourself! Shooting: This game borrows a little bit from the video game version of "Wanted," in that when you slide or jump across cover, time will slow down, allowing you to aim better. You can also slide across cover and knock over standing enemies to disarm them. My only complaint is that the auto-aim mechanic is a little bit hard to use. You're better off shooting as many enemies as possible in parkour slow-mo. And speaking of... Parkour/Free-running: Wei Shen is a decent free-runner. Wei Shen can jump-slide over cars, vault over railings, wall-jump climb, and can even climb a wall and push himself off of it in the other direction to reach greater heights. Story: This game has a wonderful story about an undercover cop who infiltrates the Triads while simultaneously keeping the police informed of all gang activity. Wei Shen must find balance between helping the cops while not trying to blow his cover. He must be a cop and a triad at the same time. Upgrades, collectibles, and special items: Wei Shen must keep a lookout for many things throughout the game. Health shrines throughout the city increase his overall health. Lockboxes throughout the city provide him with not only money, but special clothes and sometimes weapons. Wei must also find jade statues, return them to his old martial arts instructor, in exchange for learning new hand-to-hand combat moves. Wei Shen must also buy a lot of special clothing, which may either increase his melee damage, triad XP, police XP, face XP, price negotiating skills, or even his reputation with the ladies! Buy this game. You will not be bored. And when you finish, you'll want to play again!

Great storytelling and tension, Amazing brutal combat system

Great game with great storyline. side quests are fun and engaging.

Many people would say this is a GTA clone but this is not. This is Just cause 2 (without the crazy stunt) with Batman hand-to-hand combat. You're playing as an undercover cop who's trying to bring down the Triad. The story revolves around him struggling between friendship and work. Some surprises at the end, and the plot is well written thru out the game. The combat is pretty awesome. You get to switch your combat style however you like it. You can beat down your enemies with your hands or just shoot them up with guns. The hand-to-hand combat feels very much like Batman, maybe not as smooth but enough for you to enjoy beating up thugs in style again and again. When you mastered the moves, you can fight like a Kung-fu master with some really fancy moves. The shooting is very solid, better than your average TPS. If you like sand box games, this is definitely the game for you.

Sleeping Dogs was an incredible game. It took elements from multiple games and combined it into one. I love the "Freeflow" method of fighting that clearly came from the Batman games (Arkham Aslyum and Arkham City). There wasa lot of action which is always great! I had two problems with the game. First, there are shrines and lockboxes to locate. Locating them is easy but, it is difficult to get to them sometime. Second, I was not pleased with the availability of guns. Most action games have a variety of weapons. Guns are scarce but, it does allow you to use everything else as a weapon. If there is a sequel or this is the beginning of a trilogy, please consider more guns!

i been waiting for this game about 1 month and i don't disappointed about it!! Great story, alot of challenging......

The game so far is great aside from the driving and running into people and crashing into things. It isn't no GTA style game play but it is open world and fun as heck to play and has a very interesting story. I say buy it now before you watch too much game play on youtube because this game has a good story line. this game hit's the bow's eye for me

This is basically GTA IV Hong Kong. Don't take that the wrong way though. It is a good and fun game. Just like in real HK one drives on the left, and it takes a little while to get used to. The story is good, with the main character being an undercover cop, as opposed to most games like this where the protagonist is a criminal, it adds depth. The Negatives are the lack of guns. Guns are used like power-ups and hard to find. The game relies more on martial arts, which I don't like. I WANT GUNS!!!! Also the "Face" system is stupid. It means that if one cannot buy fancy clothes or vehicles, even if one has the money, without experience.
