The sprawling metropolis of Hong Kong is
home to one of the most merciless criminal organisations called the Triads. The
organisation is growing stronger every day and if it is not taken down soon,
the entire city will end up in a big mess of blood and horror. Trying to sneak
his way into the organisation is a man named Wei Shen. In Sleeping Dogs,
you assume the role of Wei Shen and try to discover the hidden secrets of the
Triads, allowing you to destroy them once and for all.
Sleeping Dogs is targeted towards gamers who
like action and true crime games.
The open world action-adventure game has a powerful story at its
core, allowing you to immerse yourself completely into the narrative. The game
is available for the PS3 gaming console and carries a Mature rating from ESRB. In
the world of Sleeping Dogs you, playing as Wei Shen, are an undercover cop
who is hell bent on destroying the criminal organisation called the Triads.
It’s not as easy as it looks as you are pushed into difficult situations where
you have to prove your loyalties at every step. Trying to overcome obstacles,
you have to advance through the organisations hierarchy to meet the
cunning and vicious villain who is the mastermind behind it all. Sleeping Dogs demands your complete attention as it
features a compelling story and
satisfying combat. Developed by United Front Games along with Square
Enix London Studios and published by Square Enix, Sleeping Dogs has plenty
of features that will keep you at the edge of your seats. The single-player
campaign in the story will take you across the fictionalized city of Hong Kong
as you try to infiltrate in the organisation, without arousing suspicion. Sleeping
Dogs allows the use of environmental elements to master unique kills. You can
use the standard dumpsters to eliminate your enemies or use things such as
sword fish heads, A/C units fitted across walls to finish of your nemesis. The
game features a unique levelling
system. This system allots XP in 3 areas such as Cop, Triad and Face.
These points will allow you to unlock new
abilities. The points are allotted on how well you handle missions given to
you. If you are brutal and ruthless in disposing off your enemies, you get
Triad points. On the other hand, if you are good towards innocent victims, you
are rewarded with Cop points. You earn Face points by helping out citizens
of Hong Kong, allowing the people of the city to trust you more. One of the most
interesting features in Sleeping Dogs is maintaining the contrast between
dishing out brutality and saving innocent victims. This can lead to tough
situations where you have to choose whether to save or kill an enemy. One of
the most satisfying aspects of the game is its hand-to-hand combat. You can beat your enemies to pulp with flashy
moves that are visually spectacular to execute. If you want to go astray in the
game and try something new you can do it in Sleeping Dogs as it has several side-missions. You can drive
cars at high speeds, sing you heart out as a karaoke singer, gamble on
cockfights or find hundreds of collectibles that are spread all across the
city. If you are a fan of destruction when playing virtual games Sleeping Dogs
will offer plenty of it as you can engage in shootouts in every other
mission. The game offers immense replay
value as you can repeat playing missions with different tactics. Sleeping
Dogs offers game time of up to 25 hours, depending on how you play it. You can
complete missions and post scores online and keep a track of how you
are faring against gamers across the world. The updates and wallpapers for the
game can be downloaded from the PSN Network.
