Sleeping Dogs - Hong Kong Action Cinema Comes to Life
The moment I realized Sleeping Dogs was special wasn't during a shootout or car chase – it was during a brutal martial arts fight in a night market, where every environmental takedown felt like something straight out of a Jackie Chan movie. This wasn't just another open-world game; it was an interactive Hong Kong action film.
Let me share a moment that captures the essence of Sleeping Dogs: I was chasing a target through the crowded streets of Hong Kong, vaulting over market stalls, pushing through crowds, and finally ending the pursuit with a flying kick that sent my target crashing through a neon sign. That's Sleeping Dogs – it makes you feel like an action movie hero.
