Sleeping Dogs

[danielrh]

GTA has some serious competition Sleeping Dogs is awesome loving the game, great in game day evening and night
and you can have use the toilet and then turn round and wash your hands in the sink .... great little touches.

car handling sweet, fighting is just like the Batman games.

buy this game guys it will tie you over till GTA comes out - saints row sit down !!

like I said sick game, I like the character skill buliding you have to do, and don't forget to eat at reasonable times, your character say's the words "I'm starving"

subitles are set to cantonese - leave it as such because sometimes the cussing breaks in cantonese and the subtitles immediatley appear at the bottom just like as if your watching a martial arts movie.

great action, great game.

beat up a guy then throw him in the boot of your car - as your driving you hear him banging the boot a la goodfellas.

run across rooftops a la district 13.

when fighting a gang once you've learnt new moves - break someone's knee cap and the rest leg it

your character fights smaller guys differently to the bigger muscular guys.

hopes this helps make your mind up

I may get myself a copy tonight

[Peruzzi]

I might do too, this has caught my eye, I like the whole hong kong action movie thing

[Peruzzi]

Got this tonight, played it for a few hours, so far really liking it, love the whole Hong Kong action movie feel to it.

Only 2 down points I can see, driving feels a bit clunky, not as smooth as GTA, and the fighting, whilst based on the Batman model, isnt as refined. It looks good, you see blood and spit flying from their mouths, see visible damage to their faces, blood on shirts etc, the buttons are a touch unresponsive, (doesnt always pick up that youve pressed the counter or throw button, eg)

But overall loving it, much better than Saints Row (the only other one I can think to compare atm)

[Peruzzi]

Actually im changing my mind, been playing it a lot today, and im getting bored.

Its very repetitive, the characters are very shallow and hard to care about, and the unresponsive fighting mechanic is frustrating me..

Ill give it a chance but probably trade it for Madden 13 next week.

I like the fighting mechanic it's all about timing and as you go through the game you get to build up new fighting moves.

one thing I do enjoy doing and that is free roaming around the city.

[Peruzzi]

Ive built up a couple of moves, and its not terrible, but far too often its not registering that im pressing the button.

To be honest, its more the missions and gameplay that are boring me at the minute, if they were better I could probably overlook the iffy fighting.

As I said, ill give it a few more days but ill likely trade it for Madden.

I'm loving the game at the moment class action to me i keep getting reminded of old kung fu moives The fighting is the best really enjoyable and so easy to get the hang of.

[moeom]

As Nani said, the action part is mad fun. Anyway,

Spoiler

Uncle Po just died....shit about to hit the fan!

[danny275]

Oh my bad.

Spoiler

You could see it coming really through out the story though.

[nani17]

Well ive beat the game i must say i did enjoy it.

[Thommohawk]

Played the demo this morning and I must say I was very impressed! Loved it how the fighting is similar to Batman games and you get contextual stage moves too - I laughed when I put the guys face into an open furnace and set him alight! One of those moments where it's like 'I wonder' and then BOOM!!

Deffo picking this one up. This'll tide me over nicely til PES comes out.

[moeom]

Finished the game, now starts the agonizing work of finding all the boxes, cameras and health fountains.

[DA77EN]

You boys have finished this game so soon after release, shocking!

Haha, 3 days straight man, had to do it.

As i mentioned already, doing all the dirty work now. So one of the Drug Busts, i had an insane battle mixed with guns and kung-fu. Insane! First 4 guys had to shoot 'em down, then came another 3 lads, kung-fued their asses, the last one, dropped him on a pole that was sticking out of the ground, and then came 6 other fools guns blazing! Got a head shot with 2 bullets left. It was too good.

Traded today, put it on a gift card and will use it for Madden on friday
