It's got bundles of character and that carries it through. You can sell it short in derivative statements but I'd much rather drive around GTA's world doing nothing that driving around Sleeping Dog's doing something. Sleeping Dogs when I played it struck me as one of those games that just tacked on the open world gameplay because it was in vogue. The city itself is this bland spine for the rest of the game to take place on. It doesn't feel connected or alive in the slightest.

Whatever, though.
