Sleeping Dogs Launch Trailer

Wei Shen may be a Police Officer but he's struggling to be civilised, whilst infiltrating the Triads.  As a member of the Sun On Yee, you will need to prove yourself via aggression and cold blooded attacks. Climbing up the ranks will lead to the inevitable showdown with the Sun On Yee dragon, the man you've been tasked to take down.

Use Wei's fighting skills, experience with firearms and fine tuned driving to take out the Triads, however you like. United Front Games have crafted an epic action game that sends cars derailing off the road after a shot to the tires and a brutal combat system, which allows you to use the environment to your advantage.

This is the first game I've seen that allows you to throw enemies in the boot of your car and slam their  heads with a car door. There's also some player customization with purchasable clothes, which affects how fellow Triads perceive you.

17th August is around the corner now and it won't be long before your playing Sleeping Dogs on either PS3, Xbox 360 or PC.
