Though ultimately the player has no say in the how the story unfolds, it is still an intriguing one and reminds me a little of Infernal Affairs and other undercover cop stories. However, neither are as clear cut as it seems. His loyalty to his Triad friends and the police are often questioned and tested. However, we soon learn that Wei Shen became a cop after he left Hong Kong and has now returned to take the Triad out from the inside.

After getting up to date with each other’s life, Wei Shen joins the Sun On Yee triad (based on real life Sun Yee On). The neon signs of Hong Kong, the inspiration for many a Cyberpunk setting.Īt the start of the story, Wei Shen is reconnected with his old friend Jackie Ma after a drug deal gone wrong. Speaking of which, the talent behind the characters is quite star studded as well, with names like Lucy Liu, Edison Chen and Kelly Hu voicing big roles in the game.

There are also various side tasks for Wei Shen to tackle, such as street racing and drug busting to raise his Face value (which is the respect he gets from Triad members) or even dating several potential love interests, one of which was voiced by Emma Stone. The hand to hand combat system is also one of the highlights of the series, being an early adopter of the Arkham style rhythm-inspired combat. The gameplay is similar to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, where you can hijack cars and drive around the cities, doing missions for various Triad lieutenants and fighting against rival gang 18k and other Sun On Yee lieutenants to advance the storyline. The title was later picked up by Square Enix and published in August 14, 2012. The game started as a new entry in the True Crime franchise under Activision, before they pulled out due to development difficulties. It is developed by United Front Games, makers of ModNation Racer and LittleBigPlanet Karting. The hand to hand combat and world exploration is awesome.Sleeping Dogs is an open world, action adventure game where you play Wei Shen, a Chinese-American cop going undercover and infiltrating the Sun On Yee triad in Hong Kong. Had zero interest in a Batman game untill I actually played it. Have you played Batman Arkham City? LolI haven't, i don't like batman and comics superhero in general Well yeah kinda, i mean i haven't ever came across a fighting game as fun as yakuza yet. A game called Bully comes to mind.Īre you looking specifically for brawling / fighting type of gameplay?I have bully on steam i think but it was a pain to play keyboard and mouse if i remember well. Might just wanna mess around with games by Rockstar as they're mostly open world. There's quite a lot of open world games but none of them have the brawling gameplay and minigames Yakuza and Shenmue do.Yeah i was looking for a dreamcast emulator but i stopped since they're doing remake. Rumor is there's going to be a remake of the first two games. Like someone already mentioned Shenmue is a lot like Yakuza but you want wanna wait on playing it. Thanks a lot, i had planned to play shenmue for forever so i guess i'm gonna do it now,Ībout way of the samurai you think the 4 is the best to start ? i was told it's the 3 ?Īnd the warriors doesn't look like my type of thing, i loved the fighting in yakuza but i love the story with it.Īnything else ? Cool fighting, open world, cool character, nice story ? It's a fun beat em up with a stellar narrative in combination.
YAKUZA VS SLEEPING DOGS MOVIE
If you ended up enjoying the brawling aspect most of Yakuza I reccomend The Warriors for the Ps2, it's an obscure title of rockstar which was based on a movie from the 70's. It's even weirder then Yakuza in many aspects when it comes to the side quests. I reccomend Way of the Samurai 4 for first timers, the graphics are really bad, but it's a fun game with a bunch of side activities. All the choices you make influence how the people see you as. Way of the Samurai is a franchise that I also reccomend, you're a nameless samurai whom approaches a village, the narrative is quite impressive. It's a revenge story but eventually develops in something way more as you progress through Shenmue 2 it's all perfect and I can't wait until Shenmue 3. The characters, the story, the sense of adventure. I'm sure you'll like Shenmue for what it is, Shenmue 2 is my favorite game of all time. Shenmue 1 and 2 would be perfect for you, although it focusses more on the adventure and exploring element rather then the all out brawls left and right in Yakuza.
