    I had no expectations regarding the release of Sleeping Dogs. There are so many undercooked Grand Theft Auto clones. But this one blew me away! Beautiful aesthetics, great gameplay and guess what...an unique setting and atmosphere! The only point of criticism is a little lack of polish but I don´t want to be fussy! Every open world action fan should check this one out!

    Very good game with Chinese climate. It's pretty similar to GTA. It had nice turning point. Interesting that main character was a coop

    The game is amazing!!! great hand-to-hand combat, driving is pretty good, and the gunplay is good. I don't know how they did it but they have amazing actors from both Hong Kong cinema and hollywood.(Emma Stone, Edison Chen, Lucy Liu and many more).Overall i would say go get this game now!!!

    Despite the similarities to the GTA series, this is a strong open world action game. The focus is on the cool story, the martial arts fights and the style. Overall rating: 8.7.

    Sleeping Dogs will give you much to do in its open world. It also provides a great story.

    It's hard to imagine, that Activision let this one go. Sleeping Dogs is action packed sandbox shooter, which - in many ways - does things a lot better than GTA. Parkour, shooting and hand to hand combat are wrapped around a stunning virtual version of Hong Kong. The story isn't quite Rockstar, but it keeps the action going. The bar is set for the fifth Grand Theft Auto. [Sept 2012]

    Sleeping Dogs will quickly gain the attention of those who enjoy a good open world with infinity of missions to complete.

    The reason why we go into so much detail about the fighting system is because we've never seen such deep and expansive mechanics in an open world game. You will fight until your knuckles are covered in blood and still won't have had enough of it. [September 2012, p.72]
