Yes it is certainly a good game that is worth getting. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but at this point that shouldn't be an issue.

Its worth mentioning that the PC controls are a bit weird. The controls are customizable but the oddest button isn't. RMB, in normal third person games, does the aiming or alternate attack. In Sleeping Dogs, RMB does the counter attack for melee fights, but is also the button you use to get in and out of vehicles. They are bound to the same command, so I cannot make RMB counter in melee fights but bind F to get into a car. And shift is aim, which you can get used to pretty fast since this game isn't a straight up shooter, guns are scarce for most of the game and almost impossible to find when having some sandbox fun times.

Despite that, still a great game, has some insane graphics options so you can customize it really well, plus it has a benchmarker for optimization.

If anyone wants to get it for PC, it goes on sale often since SQENIX seems to be struggling with their sales numbers.

Loved the game, it does being a GTA Clone better than GTA itself.
And Nightmare On Northpoint is a fucking awesome DLC.

Because English is one of the two official first languages of Hong Kong? You realise it was actually British until 1997 IIRC, yes?

Too many mini games, driving is to simplistic and to many guns. Overall I'd think its worth playing but it kinda sucks.

I downloaded it via PSN plus a little while back and I loved the hell out of it. I highly recommend getting it, but I wouldn't pay much for it. Not because I don't think it's worth it, but I've seen it in steam sales before for £2.50-£5 before.

The combat system reminds me of the Batman Arkham games. The story is simple but gripping. The driving is silly, arcade-ey and I think rather fun.

The driving is as horrendous as Borderlands driving. But everything else is fun. I liked the story. It's definitely not a game with depth, it's really simple all-around. I liked that the world wasn't a massive travel 6 hours to point B and back again. It was more or less walk around the corner and beat up those guys. Done? Okay, drive this car around the corner and shoot those guys. Simple, but fun.
