Red Dead Redemption is an open-world adventure set in the Wild West, with the majority of gameplay taking place in the year 1911.
Red Dead Redemption: A Highly Rated Western-Style Game This still creates some competition between your friends and other gamers (which is something I have always liked). Sleeping Dogs does not feature multiplayer but does allow friends to compare a number of stats through online leader boards. All of these activities feel very connected to the game world rather than separate add-ons, which is always a hard thing to pull off with a large scale game. As the game is of the free-roam genre players can progress at their own pace through the storyline.Īctivities that players can participate in on the side include karaoke, street racing, stealing, dating, and fighting. Unlike other GTA-inspired games though the focus is on hand-to-hand combat and relies on a cover system when the player chooses to use a weapon (although I found it more enjoyable to always go for hand-to-hand as the control scheme really shines when you use it).
The player controls Wei Shen, an undercover police officer who infiltrates the Sun On Yee Triad organization (definitely not something that is an easy task). The core gameplay of Sleeping Dogs is very similar to GTA (and True Crime) with a third person perspective and open-world environment.
