Sleeping Dogs.

Anybody picked this up? Bought it last week, not played too much yet but is pretty decent. As good as any other sandbox games on offer recently. Being based in Hong Kong definitely makes it different too.

Is the map big?

[FLiam]

Not really that big. Big enough though I'd say.

The combat looks fun, I'll probably pick it up Friday. How hard does it seem to platinum? Im dying for a game to trophy hunt that's actually fun to platinum.

Well, there are a lot of collectables. How do you feel about collectables?

And the hand to hand combat is pretty fun (but, come on...they shouldn't get up when I break their leg!). Haven't really had any encounters with guns, though.

[TKz]

Aren't the collectables actually useful though? Like, they give boosts or something?

Bronze

Find all 5000 hidden coins. Note: The majority are underwater.

[TKz]

God damn.

[Baddar]

I'm just fucking with you.

-1 for Baddar so hard.

Is there a PS3 demo?

The shrines...they boost your health.

Jade statues let you learn new moves.

...and Badder is lying to you. Because he is a bad person.

[King Ellis]

You do the first week they're out.

I don't think so, but Gold members get them earlier. Could be wrong.

[Fudge]

Didn't plan on getting it so soon anyway, so if it's just a week or so to wait then that's good. Thanks!

[thatshortguy]

Yes, there is a demo for this on the PSN. Came out yesterday (8.21).

It's also on Redbox if you want to just plunk down a buck to rent it.

[Your Mom]

So glad there is a demo out for this. I was interested but scared to buy it before trying it.

[apsham]

Just popping it in the 360 now.. I'll post my thoughts soon.

Holy shit. This game has heart, and a lot of it to boot! Flat out amazing what they are doing with this, I applaud them on every level for taking and finishing this game - the story so far is ingrossing and the gameplay excellent. I love the combat from the Batman games, and it's pretty much here (toned down a bit, obviously) while the driving feels excellent, the city is alive and colourful and there's the litle things too (being drenched after entering the water, and it keeping with you for a while - each vendor hawking different "real" products).
