![]() ![]() All in all, movement in Sleeping Dogs is quite smooth once you get used to the controls (as you have to do with any game). Free-running, jumping over objects, climbing short walls is a delight! You HOLD the button to run instead of tapping it repeatedly like a lunatic as in some other games, and the same button you use to run with is the same button you use to jump with, so there's no switching buttons when you want to climb or jump a short wall quickly. Also borrowed from Assassin's Creed is the parkour. There were a few missions I failed more than once, but none that made me want to give up or shout obscenities. They did a remarkable job in making things challenging but not frustrating. But just like everything else, it stays fun. You can use objects in your immediate surroundings to perform "environmental kills", take a human shield, or even throw a guy in your trunk and drive around! You can learn combo attacks that are actually pretty easy to master, and it doesn't take long before you can take down a whole mob of enemies with ease. It functions a lot like the combat sequences in Assassin's Creed but to me looks and feels quite a bit better somehow. There's enough to keep you in practice and spice things up at just the right moments (and they even spiced up the gunplay itself with some really nifty incorporations of bullet-time, borrowed from Max Payne), but the melee combat is where SD shines brightest. No flying, but that's what Just Cause 2 is for! Besides, who would want to leave this place?! A good selection of vehicles, including motorcycles and boats. The streets are particularly beautiful when it rains, and the water is always beckoning you to take a dive or hop in a boat! There are tons of interesting locations to explore, indoors and out. Cruising through the streets of Hong Kong with some smooth hip hop, classic rock, soothing pop or old school soul on the radio is truly a pleasure both day and night (That's assuming you don't want to just throw on some speed metal or techno and floor it, you can do that too). What's cool about it is the graphics are still really good, and the map is satisfactorily big. That's because you can really tell the developers put a lot of thought into every aspect of the gameplay itself, as opposed to spending 99% of their time on graphics and map size (ahem). This is easily the best open world crime game I've played in a long time (and yes, that includes both GTAs 4 and 5). Story isnt anything original, with characters that arent necessarily satisfying but its decent and well performed enough to warrant a full playthru despite nonsensical dating subplots that go nowhere. While side content is fun, it could be more intricate and varried. Not a particularly big world but its is vibrant, alive, utilized well. Fun gunplay (not much gun variety tho ) and car chases. Combat is not as fluid as Arkham Games or as deep as Yakuza or DMC but its brutal and satisfying enough, although enviro kills are underused in non story mission sections. Drugs are part of plot and characters are seen using some in a couple of instances. Constant swearing with F words galore and vulgar uses of f-k and some uses of c_ and c-t as well as sexual references ranging from oral sex to pedophilia. Brutal torture scene, including use of a drill, a disemboweled body is hung in a parking lot. Blunt trama sprays surfaces, a villian is fed to an ice chipper in slow mo with gory slushy results, massacre at a wedding with lots of blood and later a hospital shootout. Slashings, butcherings, as well as some more colorful carnage (albiet less frequent) such as people getting faces shredded on woodsaws, head crushed by engine blocks and shredded by metal fans, burn detail after burning opponents, impalement on rebar, swordfish, metal beam, etc. While infrequent compared to many games, gunfights splatter blood and brain matter everywhere. Beating leave opponents and clothes bloodied and melee weapons more. Altho its less morally deplorable and lewd tho. Its WAY more violent than 4 and prior to say the least. Holy crap i laugh at how this kid i saw at the store was bargaining with his dad on how this game has less violent than GTA. Which Side of History?
