Sleeping Dogs PS3/360

Featured 12731 Views 298 Posts PS3 Software
"Inspired by classic Hollywood and Asian cinema style action thrillers, Sleeping Dogs is a gritty open-world cop drama set in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Sleeping Dogs catapults players into the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down one of the world’s most fearsome criminal organizations from the inside... the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and crowded Hong Kong island, through its neon-lit side streets and sprawling street markets, an incredible story unfolds of loyalty and betrayal where Wei begins to question his own motives as he is sucked in deeper than he could ever imagine.

Offering players an island packed with action, every street corner, market stall, harbor dock or city skyscraper can become an opportunity for intense shoot-outs, adrenaline-fueled street races and intense, brutal martial arts combat. Featuring one of the most intuitive and imaginative combat systems, Sleeping Dogs empowers players to perform an extensive set of martial arts moves, singlehandedly taking on numerous opponents. Players perform bone-crunching kicks and combos, vicious counters and a cinematic set of environmental takedowns making use of countless real-world items from circular saws to phone booths, incinerators to refrigerator doors"

Anyone keen on this?
The story has piqued me, never played the previous games from the last gen. I'll read some reviews and then wait for it to get down to bargain bin price....it is afterall, published by Square Enix @_@ The majority of the games they release gets on the cheap sooner after before you can say Final Fant.....

Love how there's a handful of top actors voicing in the game.

I can't wait for it. Looks to me like it's very much in the vein of John Woo films.
Yeah, the game looks pretty sexy, More keen for The Last of Us though.
There have been a few magazine reviews, and they seem to be positive. I'll hopefully be getting it on day one, otherwise wait for a few more reviews..

Looks great though, and using the environment to take down enemies seems pretty sweet.

Probably the biggest game out this month!

Graphically yes but this will be one of the only open world games similar to GTA gameplay before it arrives next year.

I really liked the true crime series & might have to put down a preorder for the collectors edition, arresting people is awesome & they have a lot of customisation options.

Plus Emma Stones a voice actor in it *_*

Saints Row is THATTA-WAY *points to bargain bin*
I'm actually really looking forward to this, looks good after seeing the vid.
Wow, didn't expect the game to look that good.. Definitely going to try purchase this on day one.
Preordered from JB today :)

Holy crap I knew it might've had good gameplay but I didn't think it'd be that good, this looks much better than I thought it would.
How much do they have it at JB?

I noticed on the Harvey Norman site, they have the limited edition for $68 which sounds pretty good.
