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.

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!
