    What can I say about this masterpiece? It's a shame there isn't a sequel to this day. I love the combat in this game

    teknik anlamda yetersiz bir GTA klonu oyun ama oynarken çok eğlendim. Batman tarzı yakın dövüş mekanikleri ve yaratabileceğin vahşilik harikaydı.

    Advantages:
    - Amazing story (if you have ever watched "The Departed", it's from that opera). The characters are well developed and you care about them.
    - Very cool hand-to-hand combat system, has combo progression and very well animated. - Good graphics, especially for the game which was released in 2012 and remastered in 2014. - Cool driving mechanics, was very pleased to complete all    Advantages:

    - Cool driving mechanics, was very pleased to complete all races in the game.
    - Interesting police investigation side missions.

    Disadvantages:
    - Story is good but linear (you have no choices to make), so re-play-ability is not a thing.
    - Has bugs from time to time, like NPCs clipping through walls. Had to reload from control point 2 times, because the guy I was supposed to chase didn't want to move further.

    In general good game, especially if it is your first play through.    … Expand

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    It'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.

    Für das Erscheinungsjahr echt ein herausragendes Spiel, aber auch jetzt noch!

    Das war eins meiner ersten 5 Spiele und wegen Call of Duty und Borderlands ist ein Singleplayerspiel damals in Vergessenheit geraten. Ich wusste es in der heutigen Zeit aber echt zu schätzen, ein wirklich unkompliziertes und bugfreies Spiel genießen zu können.

    Fun game to play. Love the Hong Kong-kungfu master-undercover cop vibe. Didn’t enjoy the DLC though.

    Even 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.

    If you want a Chinese style GTA like experience, this is the game for you. Set in Hong Kong, you play as an undercover cop and fight crime. The game is very well designed and is quite interactable. I was surprised with Sleeping Dogs to be honest as I hadn't expected it to be this good. Unlike GTA however there are less guns and more punching and kicking which is a lot of fun.

Já esse aqui é absurdo, Sleeping Dogs pega coisas incríveis de vários jogos e acrescenta uma jogabilidade de luta excepcional, a luta desse jogo é tão boa que faz você querer abandonar armas de fogo, junto a isso a mecânica de hackers, a pegada de ser policial e bandido, um toque de parkour, um enredo bem feito e colecionáveis com proposito, dando vontade de correr atrás deles, esse jogo tinha tudo para ser até melhor que o GTA. Infelizmente o ponto negativo é a falta da mecânica de salto, meio parecido com o Watch_Dogs, você precisa correr e apertar o comando para ele fazer um salto pré programado, o que buga o jogo e até irrita, também notei comandos com atraso, o que quebra a imersão da luta. Wei Shen é um ótimo protagonista e esse jogo merece uma segunda chance!… Expand

    favourite game ever. elevates anything previous city crime-based open world game has already done, amazing combat. some of the most fun i’ve ever heard witj side content and collectibles. such a great story etc idk what there is to hate, recommend to anybody really, a great starting point for any gamer and still criminally underrated despite the light being shined on it in recently

    Driving is great, shooting is great, fighting is great. It's got a bit of an arcade feel to it, but personally I am a fan of that. Especially since this is a super easy game to pick up and play in chunks at a time instead of one playthrough, I think. Pretty high replay value, and I love the entire setting and story.

Set in contemporary Hong Kong, the single player story follows martial artist and undercover police officer Wei Shen who infiltrates the Sun On Yee Triad organization. Gameplay focuses on Wei Shen's martial arts moves, fighting, shooting and parkour abilities, and on gadgets that can be used for combat and exploration. Players must complete missions to unlock content and continue the story, but they may instead freely roam the game's open world environment and engage in both legal and criminal activities. The latter may incite a police response, the intensity of which is controlled by a "heat" system. Actions such as fighting, driving and racing grant Shen statistical rewards and earn the player achievements.… Expand

    Absolutely worth the money. The storyline will keep you interested, and the game play is fun. I highly recommend it and you can get it for cheap on Steam. If you get it during a sale, it is well worth the money. It sure beats going to the movies nowadays.

While it isn't exactly revolutionary in its idea or concept, and its story isn't revolutionary either, but this in no way means the game was unenjoyable. I believe it mixes combat and open-world well enough to create something that is different enough to not be considered a GTA clone. The story is interesting but nothing to really gush about, the driving is kinda of mediocre, and the combat can be frustrating. However, I feel everything works together to create a pretty enjoyable experience, the combat is different, the setting is beautiful, it has plenty of things to do other than the main story. If you see it on sale or just have it laying around, this game is definitely worth a try.… Expand

    Unlike 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]

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

    City 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]
