After the busy time, the PS3 can turn on again. The role is an undercover perform mission. This is a GTA's style game, and it was fun with the Hong Kong as background. Also, player can hear many foul language in Cantonese. This is really homely to Hong Kong people.
The game use Hong Kong Island as the main area, which the area line from North Point to Central. Actuality, the MTR line with 7 stations, but the game condensed into 3 landmarks, they are Central, Kennedy, North Point. Some comments from the internet said that some buildings should not located at the Central. In fact, players should understood that is just for the game design rather than present real Hong Kong. I believe that the developer doesn't ignorance, because GOOGLE map has clearly record.
The other point is used Cantonese to show the foul language. It's very close to the real culture, only small amount of foul language is not real. The scene able to sincere expression of the visual culture of Hong Kong. Although somethings were different with real, such as flow of people, buildings of location, and the width of road and footpath, everything is satisfy the game could more playable. Overall, this game is full of sincere.
The point as above, Hong Kong players are no reason to avoid to play. At the same time, the foreign players can enjoy the charm about the Hong Kong cultural.
Obviously, the game structure is same as GTA modules. People use this for compare is hard to avoid. I think there are a lot of points better than GTA:
> With Kung Fu elements and gun shooting mode, content with aciton movie feeling
> FREE FUN elements as chasing action
> Excellent chasing scenes in riding mode
> Vehicles are easy to control
> The vehicle control less feeling of floating, which is possible to finish a route with no crash.
> Difficulty level is reasonable, there is not easily attracted police to incur trouble
(GTA police too sensitive)
> Various locations has a dedicated parking, no trouble for finding the cars
> The screen resolution is higher, the picture does not delay the process
> Little BUGS
> Collection will be prompted when level rise, players are no need to find guide book
My experience in GTA, those driving too much times being bored. Also, there are hard to find your favorite cars, but the games always force to use cars for game process, and easy to get crash to meet trouble. At the middle part of the game, I have to call taxi frequency. Sometimes, players are hard to find a taxi that you may feel tortured. Sleeping Dogs has already improve the problems as previous mentions. Players can enjoy to drive the favorite cars. The Kung Fu style content with popular elements of mixed martial arts. Players are feeling themselves seem a male actor in the story. The game only 1 result at the end. Although, most of games always provide different line story at the end, the game length too long may not a good point. Players have more times to enjoy other game should be better, because there are too much good games for nowadays. So, a game length not long is the good point in my opinion.
The fiction dialogue of length is moderate, not too long to incur dull. Is the Japanese has already to accept American gaming culture? This game is issued by the company of the Final Fantasy series (SQUARE ENIX). From the games news, this game was developed by other company and died in the womb. Afterwards, the Japanese company acquired it and launched. This game is a very valuable database of Hong Kong, which can be further expanded. I hope the sequel will be launch.
Digression
========
PS3 games has always been more expensive than the XBOX. The inside of the book from XBOX game being using black-and-white printing early. Seem the PS3 games also follow. In my point of view, the manual is non-use. I think all of the game information located at the network should more convenient and environmentally. That's suggest no manual inside the package also okay, which may help the game price be cheaper.
This minibus really likeness as the real. Hang Hau (坑口) is the real area at Hong Kong of Tseung Kwan O, but there is not noted Hang Hau Village (坑口村). Most of the bus noted the destination is Tai Po (大埔), that also is real. Some of street signs noted Finance Bank (財經銀行) that is the real name as Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong. Some of the place at old districts seem like Taichung rather than Hong Kong.
Inside of the indirect quests is hack the closed-circuit television on the street. One at the Kenndy area is quite hard to hack, because most of the enemies with gun and can't drive a car to crash them, while the policemen will join and appear at your back side when the war started. Here the solution is drive a bus to clog the posterior.
You can free to use golden hand gun when you beat the game. You may want to challenge the strength of the polices. The polices are not the lightweight whose are fast reaction. If players can kill more than 4 policemen, then the special forces will join. The apartment at Central is the right place for kill polices non-stop.
Before start challenge action, drive two double-decker bus block the both side at the door. Then, use the third bus to block half of the only exit way. It guide to the policemen go inside 1 by 1. However, if you stand the side like the above picture, the polices will keep stand outside and their bullet can through the bus make hurt to you.
At that time, just jump behind the sofa and turn the gun point to the door. Then, the stupid cops will get in 1 by 1.
Sometimes, this action may fail because of passing cars get crash hard to the bus when the war started. So, the bus may block fully to your door. On the other hand, you are not alert to the police when just shot at the passing cars. They meet traffic jam will just stop, but you shot the wheels for the tires burst. It will make them escape busy and the driving will run faster than normal. This scene is very hilarious.
You must know what is Shenmue2 if you ever played Dreamcast. This game also use Hong Kong as the scene and use Kung Fu as the main object. But the protagonist is japanses with using Ba Kick Keung (八極拳). There is no such move in real life.
Shenmue2（Hong Kong background）
Whatever there is intentional or coincidence, players can found the similar jacket in the game. In the network, someone make a joke to segment a chip shot at:
Shenmue 2 also with the freedom fighting mode, but also contain the older instructions attack mode, you can see this film took its style into Sleeping Dogs are quite hilarious.
You can view the films as below, if you never play Shenmue 2.
Shenume 3 is stopped to develop because out of budget. It make the story never end and most players cannot stop to look forward the 3 episode. In fact, today's the Sleeping Dogs has more freedom style, more fun, more realistic story. Shenmue seem to be out of date at the today's popular culture. I think most of things need to be modified by the first episode. May be reproduce whole of the series is better. I think the Japanese culture of popularity dose not hot at this generation. At least, I will not interest to play when the game fully with Japanese.
Overall, These masterpiece not to be missed!
