A linear and dark path but a familiar one for Hitman veterans. Not as open as previous Hitman games, it still is good in it's own way. The graphics and sounds are fantastic. The character models and animations are realistic. Watch as your targets struggle while your killing them. Disguise yourself in order to infiltrate hard to reach targets but be weary. Wander too close and you'll be spotted and executed. Getting spotted or opting for the shootout will overwhelm the player with waves of enemies. Stealth is seemingly the only way to complete missions. So if you like sneaking around, pick this one up.

In order to do this, you must prove your worth by participating in atrocious criminal activities to protect your cover. With the lines between your loyalty to the badge and the code of the Triads becoming permanently blurred, you'll risk everything to ensure the success of your investigation.Delve into the dangerous, devious and deep world of organized crime set against the gorgeous backdrop of Hong Kong in Sleeping Dogs.

Experience heart-racing action filled with martial arts, adrenaline-pumping gunfights and vicious takedowns.

Explore the seedy underbelly of the city, and enter illegal races, gamble on cockfights or relax with some karaoke. With the Triads' hold on the city, there's no way you can just let Sleeping Dogs lie.
This is a marvelous open-world action game with a combat system similar to the Batman: Arkham series. The combat is very dynamic and fluid, making you feel like Bruce Lee or Jet Li. A real treat if you like that combat style with lots of combo masteries, weapon techniques and urban technical skills. Your in a highly detailed world with neon signs, realistic ambient sounds and polished npc behavior. Plenty of GTA style missions with rewards from both good and bad deeds. A walk down the thin blue line with it's moral quandary. I heartily recommend Sleeping Dogs to anyone looking for an adult storyline with spectacular combat. One of the best and overlooked games of it's era.
