The Definitive Edition when side-by-side with the original is improved but very slightly. Nothing ground-breaking, but definitely enough. I am writing this review on the Definitive Edition of the game as i played the Definitive Edition more recently, but the upgrade is barely noticeable at times and the original 2012 game looked great for it's time. Graphics and visuals for a 2012 game are great. I constantly had a feeling throughout the game that something was missing. Whether it is another character or a better one i'm not sure, but something makes the cast feels good but not quite perfect. There just seems to be something missing for the cast and i don't know what. I struggle to criticize the cast however you will see if you play or have played the game what i mean by they aren't spectacular. All the compliments aside, i must say that the characters for as much praise i give them aren't spectacular. Few games do this so for it to be in this of all games is cool. I felt for characters in certain scenes of the game. The worst big character would probably be a 5/10, i genuinely enjoyed the cast in Sleeping Dogs. Nothing amazing but definitely passable by all means. Pendrew and the other officers where a nice addition as well to represent the police side of Wei. Other characters i really like throughout the game would include Jackie (great character) and Winston. This all being said he isn't perfect, not by any means. His story that we are presented with in Sleeping Dogs and his connections are interesting at times and the way he balances his gang and officer duties is cool. Nothing extraordinary, but enough to have a character to play as that you actually enjoy. The main lead (Wei Shen) is a enjoyable protagonist to play as. The cast of characters in this game are very good in my opinion. It's not terrible at all or even bad for that matter, but it's nothing good either and at best is passable. That being said the cars at times can feel immortal (to an extent) and the driving can feel boring (especially in races). Car damage is the same however it's not a big deal for this game. The driving has a big arcade feel to it in this game and isn't at all realistic. Not as nice feeling as an Arkham Knight but is far better than a GTA or Red Dead. You can unlock more moves throughout the game but i feel it's not quite enough to satisfy the player. But i would have liked to have seen a larger number of customizable moves and or just moves in general. The combat is enjoyable at times (especially early on) and is different compared to most games considered similar to Sleeping Dogs. I say decent as i would have liked to have seen a larger move set implemented. However it has decent hand to hand combat. The gun-play is actually pretty poor in this game and isn't at all satisfying in my eyes. Although there are guns in the game, this game is far better at hand to hand combat. This isn't at all a negative and in fact can be the opposite. The gameplay of Sleeping Dogs is akin to a watered down version of the Batman: Arkham series (if you have ever seen/played it). It is nothing special, but is enjoyable and has some sombre moments to boot. I honest thought the story overall was done well. I actually think the game is a very good length being almost perfect in this aspect. Well i completed it almost instantly, but maybe i was just addicted. The only downside i can see in this department for people is it's rather short for an open world game. Examples being GTA V, Red Dead Redemption and Saints Row just to name a few. I believe the story is better than many a more popular open world game. It's nothing that would blow you away but it's something going in i don't think you would expect. By in a good light i mean to say that it is represented rather well in this game. The story puts both the gang he is a part of and his secret police work in a good light. The story follows Wei Shen, who is a gang member and cop at the same time. The story in Sleeping Dogs is actually pretty good for a open world game like this. The game is by no means perfect at all, but is still so good it's sad it's not more popular. Sleeping Dogs (in my humble opinion) is one of the most underrated video games i have ever played if not the most underrated.
