As someone who has played Sleeping Dogs on PC already, I can’t say I was exactly blown away by the way Definitive Edition looks on Xbox One.

In the transition from PS3 to Xbox 360 to current consoles, Definitive Edition renders Hong Kong in glorious 1080p, though outside of that, visual improvements are difficult to ascertain, especially if you’ve already experienced the impressive PC version. The expansions add some extra hours to the game, and they’re all quite silly. Zodiac Tournament tosses Wei Shen into an underground fighting league and provides a new environment, while Year of the Snake, possibly the best of the bunch, has Wei Shen as an honest police officer trying to stop a group of crazy terrorists. It’s an utterly ridiculous little adventure that, while quite funny, is pretty light on stuff to do and doesn’t really go anywhere.
Nightmare in North Point is a horror-themed expansion, drenching Hong Kong with an eerie blue glow and pitting Wei against bouncing jiangshi vampires and demons. The three main story expansions are also included, accessible from the main menu. Most of this content is available for Wei Shen to buy with in-game cash, or otherwise found in parking lots and his apartment wardrobe. There’s also a bunch of vehicles available to collect, including the delightful Nimbus-inspired superbike. Simple outfit changes make up a lot of them, with new costumes for Wei Shen – some of which alter his stats and make him more powerful or durable. In total, there are 24 pieces of content added to the game, all previously available as purchases for the original version. Post-launch, Sleeping Dogs was “supported” with six months of downloadable content, from the cosmetic to the expansive, and it’s this bucketload of material that makes the Definitive Edition worth looking into. Those familiar with sandbox crime games get everything they’d expect – some shooting and melee fighting, carjacking, police chases, tailing missions, etcetera – while there’s a ton of extra content to keep things spicy in between, from hacking CCTV cameras and busting drug dealers, to street racing, to simply unlocking new clothes and making Wei Shen look ridiculous. Posing as a criminal, players undertake various missions for the Sun On Yee, as well as tackle police cases on the side and partake in the myriad distractions now typical of a modern open-world game. Sleeping Dogs is the story of Wei Shen, an undercover detective insinuated in the Sun On Yee Triads. Still, this is ultimately yet another rerelease in what’s turned into a year of them.
Unlike with Tomb Raider, this title’s at least a bit older, and had so much downloadable content vomited out around it that a release tying everything together has some merit. Square Enix, having already double dipped this year with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, is back with another attempt to squeeze fresh cash from an old game, imaginatively titled Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. Still, it was gorgeous, had some terrific driving controls, and the unique Hong Kong setting lent it a flavor missing from most “me too” action games. Its inventory system was insensibly restricted, its combat felt stodgy in comparison to the fluid systems it was aping, and the story failed to do much for me with its fairly paint-by-numbers structure. I don’t consider it the second coming of Christ like some reviewers did when it first released in 2012, however.
