Welcome to Hong Kong. You play as an undercover cop Wei Shen, in an effort to uncover the organized crime group known as the Triad. Sleeping Dogs can be thought of as the sequel to Just Cause 2. It has everything JC2 had plus more (except the lack of aircraft's which is totally appropriate). JC2 owners can even wear Rico's outfit in the game. From the interface to the actual gameplay, players will see and feel the resemblance. The open world island of Hong Kong, the ability to take a boat to the outskirts and discover small islands, and the vehicle and weapon systems. Although it is still strikingly different than JC2. Gameplay is mostly based on hand-to-hand combat which is different than most action games, and the ability to purchase and wear outfits along with owning an apartment. The main story mode lasts ~10-12 hours but there are many bonus missions and things to collect and unlock providing lots of additional game time. Altogether you'll find this game very entertaining. 10/10.
