Just finished the PC version and really, really enjoyed it. It's going to be really hard to go back to other open-world games that don't have hand to hand combat as good as this one. Neat story and some really good voice acting I thought.

I really hope they make a next-gen sequel - would love to see it in mainland China, they could do part of the game in a city and part in rural areas.

Finished it tonight as well. Great experience from beginning to end. Wonderful use of set pieces to create a dynamic feel for the story missions.

Would very much love to play a sequel where they tighten up the writing a bit and maybe add a bit more interactivity to the open world.

Big thumbs up from me.

Man, I don't know how you guys get so much time to play games and still stay married. I haven't found that balance yet. Hmmm.

I've been playing this when I can and am really enjoying it as well. I have no idea how far along I am but I suspect I may be nearing the halfway mark...

I am 50% thru with 20 hours playtime. Already got my money's worth out of this one - now got to try to complete before borderlands2 comes out. Will have to cut down on my time spent fighting for cash and hijacking armored trucks.

My secret: Don't sleep. I've tried and absolutely no gaming gets done while you're snoring.

Yup. Wait till everyone's asleep. :)


I know I mentioned it before but if you get the free high-res texture pack this game on the PC looks absolutely incredible - a screenshot I took;

Looks even better in motion and you don't need to have a killer PC either.

Yeah, finally a decent console game port where the developers actually support the game and give the PC the visual enhancements it deserves.

Really late to this one but the 360 freebie today got me on it.

I could almost smell the tea and the food....Great atmosphere!

The hand to hand combat makes GTA V feel just stupid in that department. Unleashed my inner Bruce Lee for 5-6 hours.

Better late than never.... :)

If it's free, it's for me! Enjoying the early stages of Sleeping Dogs very much.

Agreed. Such a fun game. Some awesome brutal cut-scenes too...no pun intended. Ok, maybe slightly intentional.

The complete edition of this game is $7.50 this week for Xbox Live Gold members. GREAT deal for the seven people who didn't play it, like me. :)
