The story line is great too. One of my favorite parts are the names. Dogeyes, Big Smile Lee, Broken Nose Jiang, Old Salty Crab, Pockmark, etc. Hilarious! The story itself reminds me a lot of the Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs (later refilmed in America as The Departed) as far as the undercover cop aspect. The voice acting is surprisingly good too but i mean…it should be since you have some pretty big names in the game like Will Yun Lee, Kelly Hu, James Hong, Lucy Liu, Emma Stone, Yunjin Kim, Edison Chen, just to make a few.
Give this game a try especially if you like martial arts or if you can appreciate some Hong Kong culture. You won’t be disappointed
Whether or not it is worth the $60 to you is really up to you, if you really enjoyed the original Sleeping Dogs, this is going to be the closest thing to Sleeping Dogs 2 for awhile (the new free to play Sleeping Dogs: Triad Wars is a free to play game coming out for the PC rather than a new console game, so I'm not really counting that as Sleeping Dogs 2). If you didn't play the original Sleeping Dogs, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this game to try it out if you like the Grand Theft Auto series or the Yakuza series' fighting mechanics. I really liked the story as well so I didn't mind playing it again. I also didn't mind shelling out another $60 because I didn't purchase the extra downloadable content for the PS3 version and this one comes with it all. Also, playing this on my Playstation 4 controller is way better than playing it on my Playstation 3 controller..., the design on the PS3 controller was an ergonomic nightmare. Short story is, if you've bought the previous generation of this game, don't expect a brand new game for this $60.
As this is pretty much a direct port, it's all the same goodness from the original version. The all-star cast (Will Yun Lee, Lucy Liu, Emma Stone, Edison Chen, Yunjin Kim to name a few) is of course present and the story is all the same. With that being said, as I said earlier, I didn't hesitate to pre-order this when the announcement came out that this game was being ported over to Playstation 4, even though I played through the story the first time on the Playstation 3.
If you are brand new to the Sleeping Dogs series, here's part of my original PS3 review detailing the gameplay and a very brief summary of the story. Once again this is pretty much a direct port, so really nothing is different.
"Simply put so I don't spoil anything, the story consists of you being an undercover cop named Wei Shen in Hong Kong trying to gain the trust of the Sun On Yee Triads to eventually take them down.
The gameplay is awesome. The open world consists of many things to do ranging from illegal street races to occasional dating to karaoke with English songs and a couple of other things (personally wish they threw in some mahjong but we can't have everything!). The world is quite lively, filled with mostly Cantonese speaking people. They tend to swear in Cantonese a lot which is fine with me, I personally think it lends to a little authenticity but the things they say get generic once you hear it a couple thousand times but it is still entertaining nonetheless! You'll notice how lively this game is the second you walk into the very active night market (think the Woman Street's night market in real life Hong Kong), in which you can interact with vendors to buy clothes and food. Throughout the game, you're also littered with favors you can do to build "face" (when translated from English to Cantonese, it is your reputation). With more face, you're able to buy more clothes and different cars that more suit your face level. Around town there are health shrines to find to help you increase your health and day/night food stalls to help you restore health. Combat in this game is quite fluid, you attack with a variety of punches and kicks while also able to counter enemy attacks (enemies glow red when they are about to strike) and counterattack. Weapons are also littered throughout the game. You're able to use most of the environment as a weapon, whether it be slamming the enemies into walls or throwing your enemy's face into a fan that is switched on. In short, you have a lot of options to dispatch your enemies. You'll have to play the game to really see how fluid the combat is!"
Pros:
- A direct port of that Sleeping Dogs goodness, but in an "optimized" visual form!
- Being a direct port, all of the great game play and story is still here
- Comes with the 24 DLC add-ons from the previous generation of Sleeping Dogs versions.
- One of the DLC extends the main storyline, so if you didn't get enough of the story of Wei Shen, here's more.
Cons:
- $60 is a bit steep for a direct port
- Frame rate drops occasionally but it personally didn't bother me that much (take note, I've only had this game for a couple of hours, so I'm not sure if it gets worse later on in the game, it's very similar to the choppiness I had in the PS3 version). This is a bit disappointing considering it's supposed to be an optimized next generation version of the game.
- "Optimized" is a bit of a stretch, for a previous generation game ported to a next generation console, this remastered version looks more or less the same. (I've heard the PC version is much better though)
Repetitive wave of goons attacking and the cliches
other than that it's a simple game that might give you an hour and a half of decent fun dont play it more than that in a row or you'll end up bore
I was able to overlook the glitches because this game is fun overall. I loved driving around the open world of Hong Kong. It was fun to play a game that wasn't set in the U.S. The game features lots of side missions that I enjoyed playing. My favorite side mission was the drug bust one where you have to hack a camera and then catch a criminal remotely. The characters in this game slowly grew on me. At first, I found them all rather irritating, but Wei and his best friend grew on me to the point where I cared what happened to them.
Overall, this game is worth playing if you're a fan of open world games. It's a great value and it comes with all of the DLC. I enjoyed playing it while waiting for the blockbuster games to come out this year.

This game is DEFINITELY adult so don't even think about getting it for anyone under the age of 30.
But seriously, this is rated R for sure. The violence can get over the top as well as the explicit references to sexual activities. There has been more than one occasion whereby I felt some tinge of nebulous guilt for having heard some of the dialogue in the game, akin to like, happening to land on some X-rated website and happening to linger there for more than a minute. Be warned!
Interesting sort of side note: for some strange reason you can at some point in the game acquire a GSP outfit for the protagonist that you control. GSP is what 'people in the know' lovingly call undisputed Canadian MMA legend Georges St. Pierre.
