It wasn’t necessarily the biggest open world, but it felt far from barren.Įven the soundtrack was heavily inspired by the region, with licensed radio stations such as Roadrunner Records and Ninja Tune Radio that featured artists from their respective record labels as well as plenty of other licensed music. There were the markets of Mong Kok where many of the early missions take place, and then the area of Aberdeen also features in the game.
The city of Hong Kong was beautifully represented in Sleeping Dogs, so much so that when I had the opportunity to visit with work a few years ago, places weren’t fully recognisable, but definitely familiar. But this also added missions and completing each one upgraded the car that – by the end of the five missions – essentially became a tank housed in a supercar.Īlongside all this were the obligatory costume packs, EXP boosts, new combat styles and extra collectibles offering big bonuses to your bank balance. There was also The Wheels of Fury Pack which granted players a brand-new car, the DZS-90.

Other DLC including in the Definitive Edition had The Zodiac Tournament Pack, which was presented as a 70’s kung-fu movie on a new island separate from the main game area – and this was my personal favourite add-on. It felt a little bit like Red Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare, but more condensed. It does contain major plot points from the main story – so spoilers incoming – but basically this DLC had you face off against undead versions of Dogeyes, Johnny Ratface and Ponytail who has been summoned from the dead by Smiley Cat. First up was Nightmare in North Point which was originally released as a Halloween themed DLC pack. The Definitive Edition of the game featured this amazing story, along with several expansion packs that showed the developers flexing their creative muscles. Shen’s loyalty is questioned on both sides of his life – that as a cop as well as posing as a member and future leader of Sun On Yee – and most of the third act of the game is a bloodbath with many parties vying for control of the organisation, and vying for Shen’s blood.
Shen quickly starts his rise up the ranks in the Sun On Yee, which is where the conflict between him and his Superintendent in charge of the case becomes more a problem. Upon his return to Hong Kong, he is tasked with infiltrating a Triad gang known as the Sun On Yee, using his contacts that he previously had when he was younger. In Sleeping Dogs, players play as Wei Shen, a member of the Hong Kong Police Force who transfers back to Hong Kong after previously being a member of the San Francisco PD. Sleeping Dogs still shares a lot of similarities to the True Crime series: a member of the police with a shady past, a highly detailed open-world, a stellar voice cast (Sleeping Dogs had the likes of Emma Stone, Tom Wilkinson and Lucy Liu provide voice work), mini-games and lots of violence.
