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 Triad organization called Sun On Yee (A reference to real-life triad gang Sun Yee On). On foot, the player character has the additional ability to walk, run, jump, climb over obstacles and swim, as well as use weapons and martial arts skills in combat. Players are also capable of driving a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats and motorcycles.[10]
The combat system heavily revolves around hand-to-hand fighting with strong influences from Batman: Arkham Asylum/City's "Freeflow" combat system. A competent cover system allows the player to deftly move between cover, to fire blindly, aim freely, and target a specific enemy. Individual body parts can also be targeted. The driving segments have been inspired by the Need for Speed series, with several developers having worked on previous Need for Speed titles. If the player is riding a land vehicle, Wei has the ability to jump onto a moving vehicle.[10]
Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain content and parts of the city, they are not required, as players can complete them at their own leisure. When not attempting a storyline mission, players can free-roam, giving them the ability to participate in activities such as stealing cars, joining a fight club, doing karaoke, visiting gambling dens and betting on cockfights. There are also several potential girlfriends for Wei Shen to date in the game. Side missions such as participating in street races can keep the player occupied for hours, and successful completion of such activities offer great rewards to the player. There are also stores within the game that Wei Shen can purchase new clothing from, which give him various bonuses. As suits will increase Face XP, gang attire adds Triad XP, and police uniforms increase Police XP.[10]
Sleeping Dogs features role-playing elements with three different XP stats (Triad XP, Face XP, and Police XP), which emphasized the personalization of the main protagonist. Clothing, accessories and vehicles are available for purchase by Wei, and have more of 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.[10]
Sleeping Dogs features online stats and leaderboards to compare scores with friends, however, there will be no multiplayer component to the game.
