Sleeping Dogs Review

Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand?!



I identify with Sleeping Dogs protagonist, Wei Shen. We're both Chinese-American, in our late twenties, appreciate the San Francisco Bay Area, have a sense of justice that teeters on the boundaries of the law, and tend to speak perfect American English even if people talk to us in Cantonese. All of…

  • Appreciate the Cantonese (and the swearing)
  • ...but the transitions into English are awkward
  • Decent cast of characters
  • ...despite lack of character depth
  • Ending slightly rushed, story is good enough
  • Solid melee combat, adequate gunplay
  • Visually impressive open world of Hong Kong
  • Plenty of side tasks and missions
  • Social Hub, including mission replay
  • No difficulty setting
  • Few game-freezing glitches
  • Mahjong poker?! <i>Give me real mahjong!</i>
