The reusing of 3 old sub-bosses seemed lazy rather then clever & they all play out in similar fashion to the main game. None of this is helped by it all taking place in the small area of North Point. Oh & don’t get me started about the boss battle with Smiley Cat….it’s far too easy. Sometimes a bigger demon will show up who takes a little bit more work but if your skilled in the game they hold no challenge really. An early mission sees you collecting ingredients to imbue your fighting skills with magic power to help you beat the ghosts & as soon as that happens it becomes 1 fight after another of the same thing, beat them all up & close the portal by dumping 3 of them back into it. A handful of repetitive missions, bad-guys & collectibles…that’s your lot.
It’s so light on content that its not even funny.
Lets not kid ourselves here…I’m a big fan of the main game but they are taking the piss with this DLC. Now he wants revenge & he has an army of undead to help him. Smily Cat used to work for the Sun On Yee before he was killed by Uncle Po’s order. Not Ping is captured in the fight forcing Wei to get involved. They are attacked by a ghost called ‘Smiley Cat’ who has risen from the underworld to take his revenge on the Sun On Yee.
#SLEEPING DOGS DLC MOVIE#
This DLC sees Wei returning from a late-night movie with Not Ping. However this is not the case & you can pick up Nightmare in North Point & Year of the Snake for 560 MS points each. The first important thing to say about both DLC’s is that they are quite short & if they were charging 800 Microsoft points it would be hard to justify buying them. This review will cover 2 of them, the 2 I downloaded & played to completion.
The extra content available in Sleeping Dogs is plentiful so, if like me, after you finished the main game you wanted more then there were several add-ons for you to enjoy.
