Description:
Gameplay
The core gameplay of Sleeping Dogs consists of giving the player an open world environment in which to move around freely. Sleeping Dogs is played as an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective action-adventure game with role-playing elements. The player controls Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer, as he goes undercover to infiltrate the Sun On Yee Triadorganization - named for the real life Sun Yee On. The player character has the ability to walk, run, jump, climb over obstacles and swim, as well as use weapons and martial arts in combat. Players also drive a variety of vehicles including cars, boats, and motorcycles.
The combat system revolves around hand-to-hand fighting, similar to Batman: Arkham Asylum/Batman: Arkham City's "Freeflow" combat system.[The cover system allows the player to move between cover, fire blindly, aim freely, and target a specific enemy. Individual body parts can also be targeted. Regarding the driving segments, several developers had worked on previousNeed for Speed titles. While driving, Wei can get out and jump onto other moving vehicles.
Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain content and parts of the city, players can complete them at their leisure. When not attempting a storyline mission, players can free-roam, giving them the ability to participate in activities such as car-jacking, joining a fight club, singing karaoke, visiting gambling dens betting on cockfights and participating in street races. There are also several potential girlfriends for Wei Shen to date. Successful completion of side missions offers the player rewards.
Sleeping Dogs features role-playing elements with three different experience point values: Triad XP, Face XP, and Police XP. Triad XP and Police XP measure Wei's devotion to the triad and police, respectively, while Face XP is a measure of his general reputation. Clothing, accessories and vehicles are available for purchase by Wei, and have an effect on non-player characters' reactions. Sleeping Dogs tracks acquired skills in areas such as hand-to-hand combat, which improve through use in the game.
Although there is no multiplayer component, the game features online stats and leaderboards so players can compare scores.
Interface
The interface of the game features a circular mini-map on the bottom-left corner of the screen that displays a small map of the city and key locations (safe houses and contact points) or targets, similar to that found in the Grand Theft Auto series. Wei's health is shown by a semicircular meter on the left side of the mini-map, while another one on the right represents his face, which allows Wei to regenerate life during fighting when its full, then empties after a short time. When Wei is armed, an icon of his weapon and ammo count are represented on the top-right corner of the screen.

Setting
The game takes place in a fictional modern day Hong Kong with players assuming control of Wei Shen, an officer of the San Francisco Police Department, who had been seconded to the Hong Kong Police Force. Wei has been assigned by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau to go undercover and infiltrate the Triad society, gather information on Sun On Yee (a reference to the triadSun Yee On) and take them down.
There are two sub-plots contained within the main storyline: the first is Wei's personal struggle between completing his mission as a police officer, and having to commit crimes to prove his worth to the triad. The other sub-plot consists of completing missions set out by a triad lieutenant, such as killing triad members who are loyal to competing lieutenants. The island is divided into four fictional districts which are named after real areas.[14]
Plot
The game starts in Victoria Harbour, where undercover police officer Wei Shen and his partner, Peter "Naz" Sign are busted after a drug deal gone bad. Thrown into jail, Wei meets his old friend, Jackie Ma, who offers Wei to join his gang after they are released. Wei meets with Superintendent Thomas Pendrew in the interrogation room and his handler Raymond Mak. Wei asserts that he now has links with the Sun On Yee. After meeting with Jackie, Wei is introduced to Winston Chu, a Sun On Yee red pole and leader of the "Water Street Gang" at their headquarters in the back of the Golden Koi, Winston's mother's restaurant. To prove his loyalty, Winston sends Wei on various missions to seize back territory from Winston's rival, Sam "Dogeyes" Lin, leader of the "Jade Gang". During one mission to make an example of one of Winston's thugs, Ming, Wei is arrested by Inspector Jane Teng, but Pendrew bails him out and affirms his identity to Teng.
After learning of Dogeyes' attack on the Golden Koi, Winston takes the offensive by attacking one of Dogeyes' warehouses. However, doing so will displease the Chairman and Dragon Head of the Sun On Yee, Uncle Po. Wei convinces Winston to spare Dogeyes' drug maker Siu Wah and give Uncle Po a bigger profit than what the Jade Gang offers. Wei successfully does so and fully earns the trust of the Water Street Gang, even Winston's right-hand man, Conroy Wu. When Winston is contacted by Uncle Po, who wishes to meet with Wei, he relays the meeting to Raymond, who is concerned that Wei is becoming "one of them". However, Raymond relents as Wei has gotten ever closer to infiltrating the Sun On Yee. During Winston and his fiancée Peggy Li's wedding day, the Sun On Yee is attacked by a rival Hong Kong Triad gang, the "18K". Amidst the fighting, Winston and Peggy are shot dead by 18K member Johnny Ratface and Uncle Po is critically wounded, but Wei manages to get him to the hospital. For saving his life, Uncle Po promotes Wei to the rank of red pole and succeeds Winston as leader of the Water Street Gang. At the request of Winston's mother, Mrs. Chu, Wei captures Johnny. Johnny confesses that Dogeyes was behind the attack as he is tortured to death by Mrs. Chu. Wei captures Dogeyes and delivers him to Mrs Chu, whom she also kills and dismembers.
When fellow Sun On Yee red pole Henry "Big Smile" Lee threatens to take the Water Street Gang's territory, Wei refuses and Lee's henchmen unsuccessfully intimidate Wei. However, he agrees to an alliance with female red pole "Broken Nose" Jiang to prevent Lee from achieving his goals. During a meeting with other red poles and a hospitalized Uncle Po, a temporary Chairman must be elected. Jiang suggests Po's nephew "Two Chin" Tsao, to avoid Lee nominating himself. Later, during a mission, Jackie is captured and arrested by HKPD officers (also refusing to give up Wei's location). On Jiang's request, Wei sabotages Tsao's residence to make him appear incompetent to lead, making the position of Chairman limited to Lee and Jiang. When Uncle Po suddenly dies, Wei is told by Pendrew his undercover duties are over, though he protests: if Lee becomes the Dragon Head, the Sun On Yee will be worse than it was under Uncle Po. Later the next day, Jackie is released from prison.
Furious at Wei's insubordination, Pendrew hires the 18K to attack the Sun On Yee at Uncle Po's funeral, which they all survive. Pendrew then leaks information about his undercover operations to Lee, who orders Jackie's kidnapping in order to lure out Wei. Although Wei frees Jackie, Jackie is once again kidnapped by the 18K. Wei receives a text from Jackie to meet up, but when Wei arrives, he finds Jackie's disemboweled body hanging in an alley. After a failed attempt at cutting him loose, Wei is knocked unconscious by a group of unknown assailants, who turn out to be working for Mr. Tong, the 18K's torture master. After he kills Tong and manages to escape, Wei sets out to assassinate Lee, slaughtering his men with a machete he took from Tong. After a long arduous chase, Wei corners Lee and kills him by shoving him headfirst into an ice chipper, grinding the upper half of his body into pieces. Raymond congratulates Wei on a case well done, but informs him that Pendrew has been promoted to Interpol and cannot be touched.
The following day Wei receives a package from Jiang. Although the package is addressed to Officer Shen, revealing her knowledge of his undercover activity, it contains a video of Pendrew killing Uncle Po at the hospital. Po reveals that he had made a deal with Pendrew in the past to further his career in exchange for allowing the Sun On Yee to continue operating, but Pendrew admits that Po has outlived his usefulness to him. With this incriminating evidence, Wei throws Pendrew into jail, knowing he will not survive long in a place filled with Triad members he has put away throughout his former career.
Jiang is later seen monitoring Wei as he is conversing with Teng. She tells her triads to leave Wei alone as he has proved his loyalty to her, "one way or another".
Nightmare in North Point
After a late night movie, Wei's girlfriend, Not Ping, is suddenly abducted by the ghost of Smiley Cat, who has risen up from the underworld to take his vengeance on the Sun On Yee. Smiley Cat was formerly Big Scar Wu, a gangster that was ordered to be killed by Uncle Po for his recklessness. His posthumous name, which he despises, was acquired when his corpse was ground up into the namesake brand of cat food. He has raised an army of Jiang Shi and Yaoguai to help carry out this task, as well as possessed members of the 18k. When Wei finds his fighting skills have no effect on the spirits, an apothecary brews a special tea for him that imbues his moves with the magic necessary to defeat them.
Smiley Cat summons the ghosts of Dogeyes, Johnny Ratface and Ponytail, a lieutenant of Big Smile Lee that carried out Wu's execution. Wei defeats each one of them and sends them back to the underworld, but not before Ponytail tells Wei how to defeat Smiley Cat: he must burn Wu's pinky finger, the last remnant of his original body.
Wei manages to fend off the hell-spawn and incinerate the finger, sending Smiley Cat back to the underworld and freeing Not Ping. However as the two leave the temple, a final shot shows that Ping is possessed and the scene fades to black with Smiley Cat's laughter.
The Zodiac Tournament
Inspector Teng requests that Wei investigate an illegal fighting tournament taking place on a nearby island. Teng has managed to get Wei an invitation to compete. After arriving on the island, the Tournament Master, Dr. Zhang, arrives and informs the competitors are "the best of the best of the best" and the tournament is being attended by the richest and most powerful men in Asia. Wei then chats with the other competitors as well as Little Fu, who claims to be a fan of Wei since he helped her father in the Night Market. After defeating several fighters in some brutally lethal matches, as well as traversing some dangerous booby-trapped paths, Little Fu gives Wei some tea before his next match. Unfortunately, the tea turns out to be poisoned, since Fu had bet on an opposing fighter. Despite being handicapped, Wei manages to defeat his next opponent on a one on one battle and cure himself via some medicinal flowers. Wei along with the rest of the contestants are then summoned to the final match. Midway through the match, however, Zhang insists that they battle each other to the death until only one remains. When the contestants refuse, Zhang reveals that the arena ceiling is covered in spikes and rigged to lower, and it will only stop if only one is left standing. The contestants have no choice but to battle, but Wei makes everyone promise that whoever survives kill Zhang. Wei wins and chases after Zhang. After a battle with Zhang, the latter claims that he made 50 million dollars by hosting the tournament and betting on Wei and promises to give Wei half the money if he spares Zhang's life and become his partner, calling the money "a fair price for swallowing your pride, wouldn't you say?". In response, Wei snaps Zhang's neck and belatedly replies "No. Not even close" and returns alone to Hong Kong.
Year of the Snake
The story begins with Wei at the undercover HQ (now as a police station) meeting with Inspector Teng, who tells him that the officials were unhappy with Wei's recklessness when he infiltrated the Sun On Yee. Wei was subsequently demoted to a patrolman. One night, when Wei was about to put a ticket to a sports car, he sees a suspicious looking blue Enterprise and chases it (while he calls dispatch over the radio and tells them the license number, which the dispatch found to be a rented car). The car stopped near a dragon dancer attraction, where Wei asked people around about men in yellow shirts. Wei quickly apprehends the suspects and makes his way to the blue sedan, which turned out to be wired with a bomb, to which he quickly drives the car and runs it into the harbour. After this incident, Wei asks for the address and uncovers that the address that the dispatch gave him is a warehouse. He investigates the warehouse and discovers that the suspects he arrested were a group of cultist. After investigating, he is ambushed but manages to escape with help from a fellow officer. At the town's police station, Wei and Teng interrogate one of the cultists and found out that the cult predicted an apocalypse when the Chinese New Year started. Throughout the rest of the crisis, Wei disrupts the cult's operations, and manages to apprehend the cult leader during the climax of the Chinese New Year celebration.
