Sleeping Dogs is a fun and forward-thinking sandbox game. The missions may be samey, but the core experience is varied and enjoyable. Great stuff.

Amazingly fun fighting; driving; and shooting; A compelling; interesting narrative; Tremendous amount of content through side-missions

Only a few of the missions are all that interesting; The lack of charismatic; memorable characters; Occasional glitches and bugs

United Front Games helped develop this year’s Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, and it’s now turned its attention to its own game: 2012’s Sleeping Dogs. Should it have bothered with the upgrade this time around Matt takes another look.

An absorbing story; Great production values; Solid frame rate; Much-improved fighting and driving mechanics

Some contextual actions are slightly finicky; It's expensive on console if you've already played through

The square Enix has well developed the game. ....... The game is good,but it is also very short because I completed in just 9 days. There are some graphic errors. The cars in the game are cool. I like the game very much! I think everyone should buy it.

Video games are one of the few mediums that get away with lightly touching up a few elements and rereleasing a product just months after the original. You won't see recuts of Blade Runner on the silver screen months after its original run in theaters, even if you can buy twenty different versions of...

Appreciate the Cantonese (and the swearing; Decent cast of characters; Solid melee combat; adequate gunplay; Visually impressive open world of Hong Kong; Plenty of side tasks and missions; Social Hub; including mission replay

Decent cast of characters; Ending slightly rushed; story is good enough; Few game-freezing glitches; Mahjong poker! Give me real mahjong

The whole "undercover cop gets in too deep" storyline has been done a million times in both games and movies, to the point where it's hard to watch a hardboiled detective story unfold without rolling

The biggest flaw of 'Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Editio'n isn't really anything in the game itself, it's the fact that Square Enix has priced the game at the same MSRP as brand new 2014 games, $59.99.

If you've never played Sleeping Dogs , United Front's homage to both the Grand Theft Auto franchise and Hong Kong cinema's early 90s bullet-festival heyday, close the browser now and pick up a copy.

Combat is slick and responsive; Hong Kong looks fantastic; Varied missions

Not sure the HD remake was worth the effort

Sleeping Dogs for the PS4 was purchased for review. For information on scoring, please read our Review Policy here .

A quick and dirty HD update, that does more harm than good to what is otherwise one of the best Grand Theft Auto clones of the last generation.

An excellent Hong Kong atmosphere, with great combat, gunplay, and racing; Well-designed game world and plenty of side quests; New fog effects and destructible objects are welcome

The story and characters are cliché; Almost all the gameplay is borrowed from other titles; Some dud mission types; Uneven frame rate, too many bugs, and all the DLC extras are too short

It's not exactly unfair to expect Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition to have the same high shine of polish that the Tomb Raider re-release did, but perspective is important. That Sleeping Dogs only receives the slightest of graphical upticks-primarily in textures and fine details-is less a sign of...
