I loved Sleeping Dogs begining to end, with it's great radio soundtrack, interesting story and characters, amazing fighting mechanics which will actually keep you from button mashing, and it's atmospheric and immersive world. A game like this will really make you wish it was first person.

Now, on with the ratings.

Story: 8.25 / 10
You play as undercover cop Wei Shen, working with the Hong Kong Police Department to bring down triad gangs in Hong Kong upon moving back to the city after living in the United States.

Characters: 9 / 10
I felt the characters were unique and amazing in their own way.

Missions: 7.5 / 10
Although the main story missions were somewhat cliched and mostly combat-oriented, I did have fun with them. The activities are quite lacking, but the side missions are very enjoyable.

Soundtrack: 8 / 10
The radio stations have extremely good music compared to other games like GTA. In addition, the oriental-style OST added to the immersion factor.

Combat: 9 / 10
The combos prevent button mashing while keeping it interesting. Fighting is very fluid, and shooting is solid. Weapons can be picked up, and the environment around you can be used to defeat your enemies in entertaining and enjoyable ways. Also, as small of a feature as it is, the blood forming on combatants and inanimate objects give the feeling that you're really doing something.

World: 9.75 / 10
This is probably the best world I've seen in an open world game comparable to GTA and others. The city sounds, small alleyways, street vendors, city lights, bystanders, and beautiful weather bring this area together in a living, immersive, atmospheric, awesome world. My only complaint is that there aren't many areas with nature, and instead the world is 95% city.

Overall: 52 points out of 60. A must buy for those who love any of the following: PORK BUNS, open world games, fighting games, crime games, and of course, the amazing PORK BUN. All hail PORK BUN.
