Jul 23, 2013an amazing campaign, very powerful and awesome story, has some very original aspects to it and an amazing combat system. The only negative I have is that it doesn't have very much replay value

Oct 23, 2012Would have been a fantastic game if the devs concentrate on the strength and weakness of the PC. As it stands, this is just another **** console port - from graphics to gameplay to controls, it keeps on reminding me where it has come from. A little more dedication and it would have gotten a 8+ score just on the back of the story. Bottom line: Average.

Oct 22, 2012I have lots of issues with crashes on load, and crashes midgame. LA Noire meets Grand Theft Auto. Music is dull gangsta rap only. Gameplay gets a bit repetitive just like LA Noire. You can tell it was made for console by the way the controls "work". Camera angles and control of camera are also quite irritating.
If they could make it more stable this would be a nice sandbox game. -

Aug 15, 2012This game is a lot of fun and definitely worth your time. But don't listen to the people saying it's better than GTAIV... that's a false statement, and it's gonna set you up for disappointment.

Sep 9, 2014Im being generous by giving it the score that i am giving ,but, it is a fun game. The setting is pretty unique. Story is ok. The big thing is combat, of course. It's frustrating but very satisfying to smash some people into pieces. Driving? Worst i have seen from a AAA title. Worse than Grid 2. Worse than GTA V. About 50% deadzone. I really dont know what the hell they were thinking.

Dec 3, 2012Sleeping Dogs has a stronger and more mature plot when compared to the many GTA clones out there and even pulls off a combat system that hits more than it misses. However, it ultimately suffers from the same pitfalls as its genre stablemates which means your enjoyment of the game depends on whether you find the mini-games and side quests fun.

Oct 4, 2012This game is a good alternative while waiting for GTA5. Story is the strongest asset in this game especially those who are into gangs and brotherhoods. Side quest are meaningless and repetitive. The game makers do not really care about the side quest i feel. But main quest story and character interaction is top notch.

Dec 21, 2012This Is Great Game With A Best Graphic . But It have many bugs. For a open world game it has a not-large maps like grand theft auto san andreas .

Aug 26, 2020A bland and uninteresting game with only its setting making it remotely enjoyable. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and uninspired, the characters are two-dimensional and very forgettable and the whole concept is just so bland nevermind the clunky driving. This game is just so painfully average it boggles my mind that this game has such good reception.

Oct 25, 2016Fun game and decent story albeit with many cliches, interesting chinese setting that we dont see too often. However open world gameplay is kind of a mixed bag, world itself is very restrictive where you can go, theres no verticality whats so ever, melee combat can get old fast and in itself is very basic with super easy mechanics, driving feels also stiff.

Mar 25, 2023It's not a bad game. It had potential but kind of wasted it.
Pros.:
- Digital Hong Kong.
- Some good characters.
- Details to local languages and environment.
- Nice music.
Cons.:
- Story is too simple.
- Irrational characters. -
Apr 11, 2020Solid combat and story. Good realisation of honk kong that is fun to run around in.

Feb 13, 2023Even after almost 11 years later this game is still incredible. Its GTA with martial arts and it executes it very well. However the controls on pc do seem a bit sloppy compared to controller versions on ps3 and 360. Its not perfect up to todays standards but its still a damn good video game.

PC Master (Greece)Feb 6, 2013Unlike the previous ‘True Crime’ games, where there was a strict depiction of the city maps, Sleeping Dogs does not portray Hong Kong, inch by inch. United Front Games has implemented GTA’s novelties in way that winks slyly at Rockstar. In essence, what the GTA series has accomplished, Sleeping Dogs has carried out better and more elegantly. [October 2012]

PC PowerPlayOct 11, 2012A solid GTA clone that ticks all the boxes but forgets to add the magic ingredient of improvisation. [Oct 2012, p.77]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Oct 10, 2012City action in an Asian style casts a fresh wind to the sandbox game genre, with attractive worlds full of details, great battle mechanics and cool free-run sections. [Sept 2012]
