Luckily (I guess), the AI rarely ever has more than two guys throwing punches at the same time, curbing the damage from unblockable attacks. Wei can’t counter two attacks at once, which is a problem at times. Enemies glow red when they are about to attack, prompting when to press the counterattack button. There is an attack button, a counter button, a throw button, and a grapple button. The melee combat is stolen straight from the Batman: Arkym franchise. Ramming cars off the road is simple, and cops are perhaps too easily dealt with by ramming them off the road. Even when the cops are trying their hardest, they only send a few cars and a van to try to stop Wei. If too many innocent people are killed, or if Wei gets into an accident a cop can see, police will try to arrest him. The gameplay is very similar to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, having players roam around an open city in stolen cars to do missions for various inhabitants of Hong Kong. It was easy to forgive any faults regarding the story though, because of the amazingly enjoyable gameplay. There are reports about each character that can be read after seeing them in a cutscene for the first time, but this system made the story feel choppy to me. So, since Wei and some of the characters are childhood friends, there is no need for introductions between the two, even though I had no clue who a few people were. Wei is originally from Hong Kong, but his family moved to the States when he was 10. One problem I had is that a few characters seemed to just get shoved into the story rather than introduced. The entire voice acting cast was pleasing, with characters at times switching between Chinese and English, just like many residents of Hong Kong do in the real world. I don’t want to insult Will Yun Lee (who does a fantastic job overall as the voice of Wei), but he is not a very good singer.
The karaoke mini-game isn’t terrible, but it isn't fun either. One case has Wei tracking a kidnapper another has Wei taking down a drug ring.Ī few of the missions are awkward and get in the way of the fun, like a karaoke mission. There are also optional missions which involve helping the police on other cases that pop up around Hong Kong. Missions are incredibly varied, ranging from taking a starlet shopping, to having a shoot-out at a funeral. The main campaign has Wei traveling around Hong Kong in stolen cars, gaining the Son On Yee’s trust by helping them deal with “problems” that all crime syndicates run into. The story and characters are predictable gangsters act like gangsters, cops act like cops, and pop-stars act like pop-stars, but the story never felt stale. Wei slowly works his way up to the top ranks of the gang, getting everyone he can arrested or killed along the way. So this time around, Wei has been authorized to do whatever it takes to bring down the Sun On Yee, including massacring every gangster in sight. The previous attempt to infiltrate the powerful gang ended up with the officer being buried alive. You play as Wei Chen, an undercover cop trying to infiltrate the Hong Kong based Sun On Yee gang. That is an awesome framework for a video game, and Sleeping Dogs succeeds in utilizing it to great success. Sleeping Dogs, from United Front Games and Square Enix, is a Grand Theft Auto clone with Batman: Arkym City’s combat and Burnout’s driving. SteelBook versions come with the standard case included, with both boxes bundled in a sleeve."Sleeping Dogs, from United Front Games and Square Enix, is a Grand Theft Auto clone with Batman: Arkym City’s combat and Burnout’s driving." As usual, this rare print physical release includes all the content on its cart, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and three trading cards randomly selected from the five-card set. Both go on sale for £27 and £39.50 respectfully from Thursday 7th January from 6pm GMT. The regular physical version is limited to 3000 copies, while the steelbook edition will only get 2000 prints. As it’s the new year, the game is getting a bit of extra attention with two physical editions. That’s right, the twin-stick shooter, ITTA, is getting the Super Rare Games treatment. That’s gotta provide some solace when waking up to a grim fate as our hero does in ITTA. Not convinced enough yet? Why not pretend some of these monsters are 2020 personified along with all the ailments from the year behind us.
Super Rare Games just announced their first physical rendition of 2021 and what’s a better way to celebrate than slaughtering horrific beasties with a bunch of guns.
