Game Review: Sleeping Dogs
« Back to Article
Clearly a game for more mature tastes
Intense characters add to the narrative
Gunplay is also on the menu
Sleeping Dogs looks the goods and features an adult story
Combat animation is superb
Fancy a little clubbing when not clobbering foes
Driving is only slightly marred by quirky camera controls
You can buy drinks to improve your health and performance
Chase and destroy missions are fast and challenging
Throws and fluid movement keep combat interesting
Intense rivalries are a big part of the plot
Your motorbike is huge fun to ride
One of the Triad bosses you don't want to mess with
Attacks will come from all directions
Lucy Liu brings this disapproving police officer to life
Combat is not for the squeamish
There are better guns later in the game
Use the environment to finish foes
Not a pretty end
Article Summary
Sleeping Dogs features a slick narrative, plenty of colorful characters and thrilling improvisational combat. The game was almost killed off by Activision, but thankfully publisher Square Enix took over the project, releasing it last week. The game feels fresh, is easy to pick up and play and blends a number of entertaining elements into an engaging cocktail.
