Most of the characters speak English but many of the native Chinese characters will throw in some Cantonese here and there. The cast includes Will Yun Lee, who voices Wei and does an excellent job, Emma Stone, Robin Shou, Lucy Liu, James Hong, and even Tom Wilkinson. Now the voice acting is quite good and there’s ensemble cast of Hollywood talent here. Also, the completion of these campaigns unlocks content in the main story. Compared to the main story, the DLC campaigns are not that exciting, they’re not engaging, but if you really like the gameplay, then there’s still some fun to be had with these. In this campaign, Wei has to investigate a terrorist cult planting bombs throughout Hong Kong in preparation for the end of the world. Year of the Snake’s campaign is a little longer but still disappointingly short. The storyline here is very short and you can probably complete everything in less than two hours. Wei’s girlfriend is kidnapped by a ghost named Smiley Cat and he must also deal with Chinese vampires known as Jiang Shi, some kind of demons, and possessed gangsters. Nightmare in North Point was the first expansion for the game and focuses on the supernatural. The gang Wei is a part of ends up in a power struggle, there’s violence and bloodshed, and Wei has to deal with his own conflict of being a police officer and not blowing his cover. In the main story, Wei’s objective is to infiltrate the Sun On Yee Triad gang to eventually bring them down.
All three stories are set in Hong Kong, China, and you play as undercover officer, Wei Shen. I beat it back when it released but for this review, I played the Definitive Edition for PC which is a remastered version of the original, contains all previously released DLC, and was released in October, 2014 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.ĭue to DLC, there’s three major storylines to play through – the main story, Nightmare in North Point, and Year of the Snake. Developed by United Front Games and published by Square Enix, Sleeping Dogs was released in August, 2012 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Regardless, a sequel was developed and titled True Crime: Hong Kong and there’s actually quite a bit of history with this title but long story short, it was eventually renamed Sleeping Dogs. I actually enjoyed True Crime: Streets of LA and I remember True Crime: New York City just being broken so I never beat it. These include Scarface: The World is Yours, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, and even the True Crime games. For a while there, any open world games set in an urban environment were often considered GTA clones. Open world games were around before the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Elder Scrolls is a good example, but GTA III popularized open world games set in urban environments. I fell in love with the action, the freedom, and, of course, the world itself. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was my gateway into the open world genre.
