Square Enix wants to give you a lesson in the beat down. Sleeping Dogs takes place in Hong Kong where the Triads rule so that means there are no rules. The all around combat shown off is a good indicator that someone has been watching a lot of fightfests on DVD as all the action has a good amount of variety and comes off very cinematic. That means you’ll be using tons of martial arts moves along with the environment to your advantage, parkour type moves, disarm take-downs, slow motion, vehicular mayhem, drive and shoot scenarios, stunt jumps and more, it’s all here. There’s not just the main story either, fight clubs, street racing, side missions both for the police and Triads, karaoke, gambling, cock fights and if you still need more there’s always the ladies. Hopefully you are ready for all of this as it’s coming August 14th 2012 to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 until then check out the four minute trailer below to see how great it’s looking.
