Don’t let Sleeping Dogs lie – demo out now

If GamingBolt awarding Sleeping Dogs a glittering 8.5/10 wasn’t enough to sway your purchasing decisions, then you’ll be pleased to know a demo is available to download now on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam.

The Sleeping Dogs demo offers gamers a chance to sample some of the stand-out Arkham-esque gameplay, making Sleeping Dogs one of the best titles of the summer. Developed by United Front Games in collaboration with Square Enix London Studios, Sleeping Dogs has received wide critical acclaim from other publications too, so we’re not alone in our glowing praise.

The action-packed demo allows players a chance to jump right into the action and get extensive hands-on with Wei’s brutal martial arts skills as he chases down a rival gang member muscling-in on his Triad turf. Gameplay unfolds as Wei pursues his target through the bustling Night Market, vaulting across numerous stalls and packing crates, scaling walls and leaping from buildings before ending in a ruthless rooftop fight. Wei can perform vaults from cover, slowing time for pin-point accuracy, as they track-down their target, letting no man stand in their way.

Sleeping Dogs is out now on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
