As well as playing through the main story campaign, you can also freely roam the city taking part in activities that will give Shen experience points in three areas that can then be used to level up and upgrade your character and equipment. Yes, there's action, and yes there's racing… but Sleeping Dogs is at its heart a role-playing game too. None of the vehicles here have real licenced names but it's clear which real-world vehicles they're based on and you can get your hands on some fairly unexpected hardware such as police vehicles, armored trucks, taxis, ambulances, tugboats, and passenger ferries. The handling of the various vehicles is spot on giving the impression that here you have a proper racing game that just happens to be slotted into a massive open-world action game. Whether you're hurtling around Hong Kong in stolen cars, bikes, and boats or taking part in races, the experience is always slick and thrilling. Their expertise in racing games pays dividends when it comes to the vehicles in Sleeping Dogs. Utilizing attacks and combos, grappling, and counterattacks, as well as weapons, objects, and scenery, fighting in Sleeping Dogs is a dazzling dance of thudding brutality.Įspecially fun are the creative ways in which Shen uses everyday objects like electrical generators, circular saws, and kitchen hotplates to initiate spectacularly gruesome finishing moves.Īnyone who's played Sleeping Dogs won't be in the least bit surprised to hear that co-developer United Front Games has previously created a kart racing game called ModNation Racers.

Sleeping Dogs's combat system is not dissimilar to that found in the Batman Arkham series of games. Getting around is akin to free running as Shen sprints, climbs, leaps, and flips his way around the streets and buildings. Protagonist Wei Shen - an undercover cop assigned to infiltrate the city's criminal underworld - is a boss when it comes to physical prowess. Getting around Hong Kong on foot is not the clunky and trudging affair you might find in some similar games. It's not an exact recreation of the place, but instead a reimagining and the game's designers have gone to great lengths to make the map labyrinthine and complex enough to accommodate the many missions contained within the story and to make traversing of the city effortless without compromising the authenticity of the environments. The spirit of the place is captured beautifully in the game. It's a magnificent place with its spectacular towering skyline, huge bay area, and busy neon-lit streets. Sleeping Dogs is set in the city of Hong Kong. Here are four big reasons why you don't want to miss out on this game on SHIELD.
