Sleeping Dogs is a surprise package from Square Enix, one that takes you on a memorable ride across fictional Hong Kong and leaves you with a satisfied smiled at the end. Sleeping Dogs’ gameplay is like GTA’s, third-person open-world environment to explore. Controls and game mechanics
are pretty much what you expect for the game, nothing out of the ordinary. Sleeping Dogs relies heavily on martial arts and close combat, with the system deployed similar to the one used in Batman Arkham Asylum and City games. The combination of elements derived from the GTA and Batman games work really well for Sleeping Dogs -- landing a bone-bashing punch or kick on your opponent is pretty cool. Apart from the central storyline, the game has various mini games and side quests to keep you busy. As you progress through the game, you can unlock Wei Shen’s skills through an RPG-like skills tree, yet another interesting twist to the tale. Sleeping Dogs incorporates multiple layers and depth to its gameplay to very good effect.
