this game is awesome! it feels like a mix of shenmue (locale, music, minigames), arkham asylum (combat), and GTA (sandbox with driving emphasis).
i have been disappointed with the GTA series where San Andreas was the peak; the driving mechanics and overall controls in GTA4 felt very clumsy and disjointed. The driving and controls in Sleeping Dogs are a HUGE step up and it is actually enjoyable to fight hand to hand and just drive around the city. it runs very smooth on my radeon 7770 (low/mid end GPU) with most settings maxed. i am using an xbox360 controller on my PC and it automatically has the optimal setup configured and feels very good with the gamepad.
im about 6 hours in and dont see myself stopping, its probably the most engrossing single player game i have played since Human Revolution.
got it for $27 at direct2play.com
