Sleeping Dogs Game Review At first this game puzzled me because I thought it was set in America.
A lot of people are speaking in American accents.
But it turns out Hong Kong is it’s actual setting (there’s even a British
guy in there as well.) Spotting the genuine Asian person is
the challenge. Anyway that doesn’t really matter, my job is to
give you a game reviews light sprinkle of words and wisdom
as to whether or not you should buy the game, so we shall begin.
Straight away it gives signs of being heavily story orientated which is a good thing in my opinion! I like
the story, I’m not going to give a big break down of the whole thing because that’s what makes Game Reviews long
and I don’t want to spoil things for you. But, the story gets
a thumbs up from me. I’ll talk about the things which I like about Sleeping Dogs, first off there is a pretty nifty game mechanic where you have 2 different experience systems.
You gain experience as a cop and as a triad (saying cops and triads
shouldn’t be a spoiler, you should be aware of
this.) So you gain experience as a cop by completing undercover
cop cases and not killing innocents and wrecking the place.
You level up as a triad by beating down bad guys and the usual gang related things.
I really like the combat though, the fist-fighting seems quite
fluid and I actually get beaten a lot of the time which to
me, shows that the combat is a challenge (which not a lot of games are these days.) The developers have done well to
keep weapons out of your hands as much as possible.
So you do have to fight with your fists most of the time, it makes a
refreshing change from every man and his dog packing heat in other games.
Things I don’t like so much about the game include – the graphics, they’re OK but that’s as good as they get.
Also some of the driving controls are very unrealistic. I get that they wanted to put some extreme stuff in there, like hijacking cars by jumping out of one and into the other,
fine. But ramming other cars is just plain bad, there’s a button to
ram car’s and when you press the button you seem to get a boost of speed in the direction of the
car you want to ram. I mean ANY direction, even if it’s parallel to
your car, it’s bad design in my opinion. Finally the only other gripe I have is the
fact that every female you meet in Sleeping Dogs wants to be intimate with
you as soon as they meet you. Now I’ve heard a few things about Hong Kong but this is just starting to look
like Bangkok. Video Game Review Conclusion Overall I think
its a good game, you’ll get a lot of hours of game
play for your money and it’s very entertaining with a good story.
