"There is a real flavor of 'The Sopranos' or 'Mad Men' in this game," he said. "I'll be surprised if he doesn't ruffle a few feathers." Sterling sees it as reflective of pop culture today. "He's a depraved, psychotic, omnisexual sociopath," he said. According to Sterling, he epitomizes every negative thing that anti-video game activists see in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. One of those characters, Trevor, will certainly elicit reactions from both the denizens of Los Santos and activists in the real world critical of video game violence. "It's more like the supporting characters react to the heroes than the other way around," he said. Playing Sleeping Dogs is like playing a Police Story game, and you get to be Jackie Chan.Jim Sterling, the reviews editor for video game news outlet, said that developer Rockstar Games also put more emphasis on the playable characters themselves, rather than have them passively or stoically react to the world around them. More combat in Sleeping Dogs is hand-to-hand than with guns, and the combat is so satisfying. I don't mean he can throw a punch, I mean playing as Wei is like playing as Bruce Lee. What is also different here, is that Wei Shen can fight. It is up to you, should you choose to waiver one direction or the other. You have to actively balance your performance as a cop while maintaining your standing among the criminals.

One of the key differences here is that you play as Wei Shen, an undercover detective infiltrating Hong Kong's criminal world. It is another open-world game where you go from one story mission to the next while managing side jobs and collectables along the way. This one is more of a direct simulacrum of GTA, with similar driving and gunplay.
NEW GTA GAME SERIES
Platforms: PS, PS4, PS5 (backwards compatible), Xbox One, Xbox Series (backwards compatible), Microsoft Windowsįrom one iconic Asian city to another, Sleeping Dogs takes us to bustling Hong Kong.With the entire series available on modern systems, it is a perfect time to throw yourself into this legendary series. It also happens to be one of the best games in the series. There have been a lot of Yakuza games, seven main-line games with several spin-offs and now a soft reboot in Like A Dragon. For new players, your best port of entry is Yakuza 0. This prequel set in the late 80s sets the main characters on their paths and is a perfect way to get to know them. Well, the Yakuza series is that but in Japan. So much, so they can come across as comedy games, though they cover so much more than that. They tell serious, often dark, stories but aren't afraid to throw some levity in there too. Grand Theft Auto is a series of crime stories heavily inspired by cinema. This may seem like an odd choice, but hear me out.
