First time playing Sleeping Dogs… hard to believe this game’s twelve years old and still looking amazing

Played it years ago and still remember the voice cast—Will Yun Lee also did a big role in Like a Dragon. He’s awesome as Wei Shen and Masato.

Totally underrated. I rarely see it mentioned around here!

Yeah, it didn’t sell well, so it got lost. A lot of people just thought it was another GTA clone but with kung fu.

@Finn
It sold over a million in the first month—not a failure but didn’t hit big.

Surprising for a game that good. It deserved more attention.

The game had its loyal fans, but yeah, should’ve been bigger!

The hand-to-hand combat was awesome, story was great, and I got it for under $10. Best value ever!

Picked it up on sale for $4.50 after reading this thread. Can’t wait to finally try it.

Great soundtrack too! This game got me into Bonobo.

It has such a killer cast—most of them are well-known Asian actors. Even Emma Stone had a small role!

So much value in one game—definitely worth a replay every few years.

Sleeping Dogs deserved a sequel. Might have to replay it soon.

It was actually supposed to be True Crime: Hong Kong! Wild that it became its own thing.

Never knew that! I used to play True Crime: Streets of LA too. Total throwback.

@Harley
True Crime, The Getaway, and San Andreas were the best back in the day!

The Getaway felt like peak graphics back then. Loved the London map!

Crazy how much history there is behind this game.

Square Enix was pitched a sequel, but the cost was too high. Activision had nearly finished True Crime: Hong Kong, so Sleeping Dogs was basically 85-90% complete when SE took over.

@Kai
That’s such a bummer.
