Sleeping Dogs is a 2012 open world action adventure
video game developed by United Front Games in conjunction with Square Enix
London Studios and published by Square Enix, released on August 14, 2012, for
Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Sleeping Dogs takes place in
Hong Kong and focuses on an undercover operation to infiltrate the Triads.
The core gameplay of Sleeping Dogs consists of
giving the player an open world environment in which to move around freely.
Sleeping Dogs is played as an over the shoulder, third person perspective
action adventure game with role-playing elements. The player controls Wei Shen,
a Chinese-American police officer, as he goes undercover to infiltrate the Sun
On Yee Triad organization named for the real life Sun Yee On. The player
character has the ability to walk, run, jump, climb over obstacles and swim, as
well as use weapons and martial arts in combat. Players can drive a variety of
vehicles including cars, boats, and motorcycles.
The combat system revolves around hand to hand
fighting, similar to Batman: Arkham Asylum "Freeflow" combat system. The
cover system allows the player to move between cover, fire blindly, aim freely,
and target a specific enemy. Individual body parts can also be targeted.
Regarding the driving segments, several developers had worked on previous Need
for Speed titles. While driving, Wei can get out and jump onto other moving
vehicles.
It’s worth noting that there’s more than just
fighting styles on offer here too; alongside new costumes to boost your skills
and give you access to some diverse looks, the dreaded environmental finishing
moves also make a return. While I thought I’d seen the worst of it with the
meat hooks that appeared in the Final Kill mission, it turns out I was wrong.
I’d prefer to avoid going into too many specifics so you guys get the full dose
of horror for yourselves, but suffice to say that the cream of the terrifying
crop can be summed up in two words: Face. Grill.
