The definitive edition however, makes Hongkong feel vibrant and alive and the lighting on maximum graphics is very pleasant as well. In terms of graphics the original game was never extremely pretty.
Yet it is THIS small component that makes the story actually GOOD. One of the subtlest components of the story is Wei’s struggle between being a cop or a gang member. This is shown to the player by Wei having nightmares about it, talking about it in conversations and eventually even influencing his superiors (police) in certain major actions against the gangs in Hongkong (in the favour of him and The Sun on Yee of course). Eventually making me, as the gamer This change in Wei’s emotions grows as Wei grows in the Sun on Yee and makes him think about his life as an undercover agent (a filthy rat). Obviously, some missions were more fun than others, but I think it is really impressive if a single player game manages to keep me interested throughout the entire story line.Īs the game progresses Wei starts to develop a brotherhood feeling towards the Sun on Yee and its members. Not just merely controlling him.Īll the missions felt original and part of an actual story, as Wei grows from thug all the way to the top of the triad. On the other hand, it also took time for certain moments to really put the player in Wei’s shoes. It had a great pace, so it didn’t feel slow or boring at all. What really surprised me was the quality of the storyline. In the meantime, you are still a cop, so there will be cop missions to do as well. As you do missions starting as a small street thug, you slowly climb your way up in the triad. As there is a high demand in American-Asian Cantonese-speaking officers in Hong Kong, Wei is the perfect man to become an undercover agent.Īs Wei, your job is to infiltrate “The Sun on Yee” one of the gangs in Hongkong. In San Francisco Wei became an excellent officer for the SFPD. Wei was born in Hong Kong but moved to San Francisco with his mother and sister Mimi to help her overcome her drug addiction. So eventually United Front Games released a new “definitive edition” of the game in 2014, aiming to reclaim their original place as a great open world game. The game quickly dropped in value with the rise of competitors like Grand Theft Auto V and Saints Row 4. Sleeping Dogs (the original game) was released back in 2012 and has received mixed reviews since then. If Grand theft auto and Saint’s Row had an intimidate relationship containing some noodle and ching chong fetishes, well, that’s how Sleeping Dogs was born.
Was this really a hidden gem? Or was it a big pile of garbage put together and made appealing by putting on a -75% sticker? Let’s find out. Still a bit sceptical about it, I tried my luck. I managed to pick this game up at a -75% discount on steam. The best way to describe it would be a game with the in style of Grand Theft Auto (reality) but plays and feels like Saints Row (arcade). For those who have no clue what the game is about and are now imagining a game about running a pet day-care, Sleeping Dogs is an open world game which takes place in Hongkong.
