Game Review:
According to cinema, being an undercover cop is invariably rough work. Law enforcers masquerading as crooks, we’re repeatedly told, are forced to question their loyalties and pick sides. Developing an open-world action game also poses a question of allegiance: should developers serve their narrative, or player autonomy within a big-budget sandbox? With Sleeping Dogs, United Front Games has erred towards the former, delivering a game about Triads and detectives that’s at its best when funnelling you through the set-pieces of its story, and becomes more scattershot when offering distractions from it.
Playing as undercover policeman Wei Shen, your job is to work your way into the Sun On Yee gang. It’s a task built on four core pillars: running, shooting, hand-to-hand combat and driving. There are overlaps, too, having you fire from car windows or motorcycles, and you’ll shift quickly from one gameplay style to another as you hunt rival gangs across Sleeping Dogs’ sprawling Hong Kong cityscape. Indeed, in its fusion of running and scrapping with a martial arts movie flavour, Sleeping Dogs calls to mind 2004’s Jet Li: Rise To Honour. Both aim to place you in a Chinese action classic and both fail to fully suspend your disbelief, their ambitions betrayed by occasionally ropey production values as well as scripts that can’t come close to even the most clichéd of Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers releases.
