The good thing about the PC version is that there's a texture map update for it...

Great review!

I may have to try this game

Yes I have just realised the platinum is more time consuming than I initially thought. It's the "Pure Gold" Trophy for 30 Gold Stat awards that will take the most time

Great review, Sleeping Dogs is definitely around a solid 9 out of 10. I platinum'd this game in one go (though over several days) and it took a while (lots of collectibles and such), but at no point did it become an annoying slog. There are certainly a few rough areas to this game, but the story and characters, and especially the gameplay and immersive world are just so good that it's easy to forgive them. Loved the ending part of the story arc (last few missions or so).

I don't expect a sequel, as I heard this game didn't sell crazy well

, but it would certainly be a day 1 buy for me if they do make one.

Nice review, Sir Kerwan! I bought the game on my birthday and I gotta say that your review really sounded my thoughts. Definitely one of the best of this year that deserved more attention than it got.

Yeah, so many people didn't buy the game for some reason. Such a disappointment.

I am sorry, but this game does not deserve anything better than a 6 out of 10. The gameplay was rather generic, and the characters were flat. It was way too easy. Only plus side is its a 20 hour platinum at most. It didn't sell well and there is a reason. Remember folks, this is simply my opinion. If you get the chance to pick it up for $20 or under, go for it. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

Think it did pretty damn well myself.

Anyway, this game is brilliant so far. The story gameplay is fun and interesting enough with mission variety. The combat isn't too hard nor too easy. And it's good to play a GTA style game, for once, not set in America, or an American like setting...

Well regardless of sales the game was good. Call of Duty sells millions of copies on day one alone, and look at the "quality" of the game.

And yeah, I agree on the setting. It was awesome.

great game i'm 18 + hours playing through the mission and i'm still not done gonna go pick the DLC once i am done with it i've heard so many good things about this game but it turned out even better when i played it myself !!

Call of Duty is fine IMO, it's just that the majority of the community is so immature, part of the reason 3/4 of the time I play Call of Duty I play the campaign (except BO because that campaign was horrible).
