This looks great. The best game of last year, aside from skyrim, was Saints row the third. It was better than GTA IV (not SA though). This looks in  similar vein. And frankly i always thought the true crime series COULD have went somewhere if the developers just bothered. I

Hopefully they don't suck in driving, like Saints Row did. Driving physics are essential especially if you navigate the world mostly through it, IMO.

Not perfect,but it looks pretty fun.

The last GTA-style game I played is Canis Canem Edit, which was a long long time ago.  Looks good but not for me. 

Ludisto 14 pts

It looks too much like the GTA games to have been worth developing; not different enough to be worth buying.  For that reason, I probably won't buy it, but, if I do, I'll wait till it's been out a while and the price is considerably less.

jpm1276 68 pts

I think I'll pick this up when the price drops.

Review Looks cool - although looks like a lot of all the others, a lot of Wheelman with Vin Diesel, jumping around - and a rip from Just Cause 2.. Have not played yet, not sure how it stands up to the quality, I suppose with Square Enix, its at least playable.

zpluffy 91 pts

Japanese games are not just appealing anymore. Zelda is the only exceptions

Zonno 225 pts

I think I saw a little bit of Just Cause 2 there.

 

Then it has got to be awesome.

Good game with emphasis on storytelling, has some strong moments and characters, good brawling and acceptable cover shooter action. Only very little to criticize about its existing mechanics. The major flaw however is the alarming  lack of content, and the "quality" of what it offers is not high enough to outweigh this fact. Still it is a blast while it lasts, it does not last long however.

 

Oh and the ones complaining about missing because of lousy lock-on, please do try playing using your hands instead of your feet next time.

if you're playing this on PC with a keyboard and mouse, it cannot be said enough that the controls feel awkward and motions are incredibly jerky an rigid. Which is odd, as I've heard the PC was the primary version.

 

Also, some of said that the combat wasn't "taken" from Batman. That this game developed it before Batman. Whether that's true or not I don't know, but don't be fooled into thinking that means this game does it just as well or better than the Batman games. It's entirely impossible to continuously flow a large brawl in a single giant combo the way Batman pulls off so beautifully. In this game, your strikes and grapples aren't locked onto targets, so you often miss, and if your target isn't close enough, you'll simply just hit nothing but air in your attempt to swing at them.

This game is not terrible.  I am playing it on PC with a 360 controller and the gameplay seems enjoyable thus far.  If you can play GTA4 or Saints Row 3, you can certainly give this game a go.  Something to nibble on until Borderlands 2, AC3, and GTA5 come out.  If you're into any one of those that is.

 

Cheers.

 

P.S - I think Caro is doing a fine job.  Don't let the bad vibes get to you.

Caro, I gotta give you credit for this review, you shortened your syllables and you sound much better in this review. Keep up the good work.

TruSake 64 pts

In the demo I couldn't lock on when fighting, if you can't lock on to enemy when fighting, how can I fight well at all? I just kept dying over and over. I press the lock on button, but nothing happens. Turn me off towards buying the game.

 TruSake you could always try learning to aim? ...

lakers808 22 pts

Carolyn you should just die for giving this game a 8!!! it deserves at least 9! And stop posing as a woman!

Scarshi 12 pts

It truly is a great game. Not as long and draged out as GTA IV or Mass Effect, but definately long enough to be enjoyed and satisfying to finish. Glad I bought it for PC.

 

The rain effect is the best of any game yet made. Work of art.

 

Guns n' Kung-Fu!

 Gryn89 it says "HER". isn't that enough? i don't understand why the reviewer's gender matters so much to you. does it affect the validity of the review in some way?

penpusher 78 pts

 Gryn89 Seriously are there still people out there who havent yet figured it out? :S SHE used to be a man. She had an op, now shes a lady.

 Gryn89  penpusher  Ahh sorry just thought you were making fun. Her reviews tend to get a lot of intolerant jerks commenting in the delusion that they're funny.  Caro's fans are always here to defend her though :)

This game looks real good! Gotta get my lazy ass out and buy this sh*t!

Downloaded the PC demo and wishlisted Sleeping Dogs. Not to mention the spy missions that the game offers. It totally worth my money, can't wait to finally buy it and have all the fun that GTA has lost after San Andreas.

i dont quite get one tiny, little thing- tha great and mighty GTAIV ( i love gta  btw) had REALLY bad and unentertaining main plot but You all took it without a single blink (me either). in here (SD) you have some solid ( one might think) scenario and convincing characters and on top of that eternal affairs smell. losing a friend in this game os really  convincing shit. dont get me wrong - i dont give it a nine. i still hate the driving and the dullness of the city (parkour is a joke!) but it has some brilliance in it. or i am just some everyday normalguy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw who likes emmma stone in the credits line :)

Hardstyler2012 38 pts

Just played the demo i'm very tempted ,so the graphics aren't very good who cares, saints row 3's are shocking, didn't stop me from playing the hell out of that game. Is there any multiplayer what so ever?

Peter07 14 pts

 Hardstyler2012  mrtrolololo no multiplayer at all.

the only thing you can do "online" is to compare some numbers, have rankings of shits you do, but then I dont go online, can't give you details
