    Sleeper Hit

    In an age overburden by open world games Sleeping Dogs sets itself apart with a fresh setting, a great melee combat system and a likable cast of characters. It is also fun as hell. This is a Chinese gangster movie filled with absurd moments that can only come from a open world videogame. What sets it apart is the way the protagonist, from a gameplay perspective, feels grounded to the world. He has weight therefore his punches have strength. He interacts with his environment and so does the fool 's teeth that are being slammed against a wall. He is nimble and can climb a building or slide through a table. Establishing certain semi believable traits in an absurd environment makes a difference. Even if the shooting and on foot chase sequences are a little weak, Sleeping Dogs is a fantastic adventure that you should definitely check out.

Open world games have always been praised for their ability to give you freedom in atmospheric worlds that convey and sense of time and place, but often struggle in providing compelling mechanics that make you want to experience all there is to offer in that world. With Sleeping Dogs, I expected...
