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.
