9/10

Sleeping Dogs offers one of the strongest narratives in recent gaming and drags you through the gritty streets of Hong Kong's mob underworld in the process. Its gameplay doesn't offer many new ideas, but it delivers what it promises. Namely, an engaging story, fun combat, slick driving, and solid gameplay.

9/10

The story and its characters are thoroughly engaging, even more so than Grand Theft Auto's attempts thus far. While not a game-changer, Sleeping Dogs is certainly a step in the right direction, and a huge breath of fresh air in the action genre.

As a package this is as feature-complete as you could want, but it's a long way from the version it could have been.

It’s remarkable how well United Front Games have fostered this game. All the uncertainty and lack of future is eradicated for a consistently entertaining title. If Sleeping Dogs started life as an unloved orphan, it’s now an adult that can hold its head high. Now the title has realised its potential, the Activision family will be regretting their decision to give up one of the year’s surprise hits...
