Sleeping Dogs Review | Good Game ANZ

People who prefer guns over hand-to-hand combat would most likely not get too much out of it Sleeping Dogs until later on in the story and then find very little fun post-story. But if you’re looking for a short rush of excitement and want something different from the more common, wrong side of the law and gun-focused open-world atmosphere, then Sleeping Dogs is definitely worth playing.

not a game i had on my radar, might give it a look now though.

LiViNgLeGaCY4118d ago

You should. I actually really enjoyed Sleeping Dogs. One of the better open world games in recent memory, in my opinion.

MaxXAttaxX4118d ago

Definitely. It's got better story pacing than some of the biggest open world games out there. The hand to hand combat was fun.

prototypeknuckles4118d ago

dude buy it, its a very good game.

MrDead4118d ago

You won't regret buying this game, it’s fantastic from start to finish.

I only have one issue with it and that’s the camera when driving, if there’s one thing all sandbox games of this type should copy from the GTA series it’s the way you control the camera.

ZeekQuattro4118d ago (Edited 4118d ago )

It truly is an amazing game. I managed to get a good deal on it a few months ago. I loved the story, combat, voice acting, and the driving in this game. I also loved the fan service given by some of the many costumes in the game as well as voice actors known for being in Asian action flicks. I'm very grateful Square Enix resurrected the game. It was originally a new True Crimes game but plans fell through.

StreetsofRage4118d ago (Edited 4118d ago )

The title of the game hits it perfectly, it's the sleeper hit of 2012. In many ways, it out performs GTA especially the hand to hand combat. One of my favorite open world crime games I ever played.

You can find the game for $30 on Amazon. Definitely buy it.

showtimefolks4118d ago

i am gonna pick this up hopefully i can find it for under $30

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil10d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai9d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing699d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle9d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal9d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa9d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal9d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil155d ago

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot355d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
