"Sleeping Dogs is still a ton of fun to play. Despite having played a lot of Sleeping Dogs across different platforms already, I found myself quickly addicted to exploring Wei Shen’s world as an undercover cop with a score to settle. It’s one of the few open-world games to really nail that mix of exploration and combat well, focusing strongly on melee-based attacks to drive home that mix of Shaw Bros. / John Woo flair that I loved so much when I first played the game two years ago. Considering that Sleeping Dogs was going to be a True Crime (remember that one?) sequel at one point, I think it’s still amazing that the final result turned out to be as good as this.
But again, this Definitive Edition is a tough sell. If you’ve only played the game on PS3 or Xbox 360, and don’t have access to a PC solid enough to run the game at decent settings, then I can see a reason for checking this out. It’s a clear step-up from last-gen, even if it doesn’t wow me at every corner."
Rating for Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition has seemingly been updated in Australia, leading to many speculations among the community.
Still says it's under SquareEnix 😒 was hoping it would've been u der someone else after their sale of studios and IPs
The Australian classification office will occasionally go back and look at old prices of media if they receive a complaint. So it could have been as simple as a parent complained about the rating as R18 was not an available video game rating when the game originally launched.
I'm not going to get my hopes up I've seen enough leaked internal memos as to why true crime and later sleeping dogs was considered a fail also square won't greenlight a game unless it will sell call of duty numbers
One of the many video games that have faded into obscurity is True Crime: New York City, a title with a lot of heart but not enough support.
I had this game, was fun for the time. Trying to chase down Puffy and JLo in the limo fleeing the club shooting. I'm not really sure if you caught them or it was just a call on the police radio.
I've loved this game since I got it Christmas 2005. Despite the glitches, I enjoyed it a lot
Daily Video Game writes: "The online retailer Amazon is running several digital titles on sale with big discounts for Xbox One gamers, and they’re offering discounts of up to 85% off of them right now for a limited time."
Fair review man.
