First Sleeping Dogs review arrives
The first Sleeping Dogs review has arrived via Official PlayStation Magazine UK and it's an impressive 9/10.
Editor Ben Wilson describes Square's open world crime game as "the best bits of a load of games you love pooled together with intelligence and humour."
The review adds: "This is the game Saints Row has spent a decade desperate to be, a rollercoaster open-world adventure set in an environment that's fun to explore and doss about in, and packed to the brim with rousing missions, happy diversions and other amazing stuff."
OPM's review concludes: "It's unquestionably 2012's most brilliantly brutal surprise, and you're duty-bound to check it out".
Originally developed for Activision under the name True Crime: Hong Kong, Sleeping Dogs - as it became known - was later dropped by the Call of Duty publisher and then snapped up by Square Enix last summer.

OXM UK is the second publication to put out their Sleeping Dogs review, and it's another glowing verdict for the Square Enix crime-em-up.
In its latest issue the mag awards the open-world effort a 9/10, calling it "a Wei better game than we were expecting."
The score follows another 9/10 from OPM UK's own Sleeping Dogs review, which boldly describes the title as "2012's most brilliantly brutal surprise".
OXM calls Sleeping Dogs "A gripping vision of Hong Kong which sports majestic driving, a sharp, well-acted storyline and varied missions," only reserving criticism for the fairly short (by genre standards at least) 14-hour main story.

Glad to see that this one might deliver, it had the potential if it could get all of the various components right.

9/10 - I think that is a little high, it seems so many mags will give a game a high rating, I do like the game it is great fun and nice change to playing GTA and SR3.
I would say a 7.25 / 10.00 - But I am harsh.

It's a slow starter but I wouldn't call it boring and once you've unlocked a few things and learnt to use weapons etc it gets really fun
