Sleeping Dogs for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Before I even rented this game, I played the DEMO first. The action and the running sequences were good in my opinion from what the developer presented to me. Then, GameFly sent me the game to play and from there I only gave two hours of game play back to the developers because this game is a semi-polished attempt to be like GTA. I know most reviewers say do not relate it to GTA but the game forces you to do that. You have petty side missions that force you to go from one location to the next and ironically the opposing faction is there waiting for you to fight with. I really did try to give this game a chance. I even skipped the horrible acting cut scenes to give this game a good review on the action alone, but I can't do it. At first, the fighting is good. I did like the aspect of throwing one into a dumpster and moving on to the next inanimate object to throw my adversary in. Unfortunately after that, it became extremely repetitive and boring. I gave the game a 5 because of the above mentioned factors.
