Finnegan Posted 20 August 2012 Share Posted 20 August 2012 I keep looking at it and am a bit tempted but is it basically just a new GTA clone swapping LA drug gangs for Triads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted 20 August 2012 Share Posted 20 August 2012 It's quality and there is a lot of differences to GTA. E.g the hand to hand combat is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 I'm not a massive gamer, but I was looking into getting this. On the advert, I initially thought it was GTA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenny_fox Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 I was looking at getting this, what sort of game is it? GTA but more story or just a sandbox mode sort of game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavrentis Posted 21 August 2012 Author Share Posted 21 August 2012 Its like a mashup of GTA and Yakuza in Hong Kong. The story is excellent and it even has some nods to Shenmue in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 Is it free roaming / sandbox and is the combat like GTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st Century Fox Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 Its like a mashup of GTA and Yakuza in Hong Kong. The story is excellent and it even has some nods to Shenmue in there Shenmue you say..... if it's buying collectable toys from dispensers and then closely examining them, I'm in.

DB11 Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 Got this yesterday. Brilliant I love it It's like True Crime: Streets of LA (but Hong Kong) if anyone had that game. You're an undercover cop, that is in the Triad gang, and your actions determine you're 'cop' rating and your 'triad' rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an undercover cop, that is in the Triad gang, and your actions determine you're 'cop' rating and your 'triad' rating. It was originally created to be the next in the True Crime seriesOh has anyone got through the storyline yet? The only thing putting me off is that I've read reviews that the storyline is a bit short, and with no multiplayer that's what you're paying for is it worth a buy or can it be completed with a weeks rental.. or 2 weeks.

You can wear Ryos Jacket plus the apartment you stay in looks very similar to the Yan Tin apartments among other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Bought this game at the weekend and only got round to playing it last night. I bought it because there’s basically nothing decent out, I needed a new game to play and I’d seen positive reviews. Lets just say I’m not disappointed in the slightest. Yes it's another GTA style game, but the Hong Kong setting is a nice change, and the story has been good so far. Combat also feels really well done, although it can be a bit hit or miss whether you counter peoples moves properly. I've just started getting guns, and the gun mechanics seem spot on. Driving is also good, very arcade’y as opposed to GTA, and there is a real sense of speed, which you don’t really get in GTA or Saints Row. Basically if you like GTA style games, or you've played the True Crime games before, you'll like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I've completed it. Bit short but a very good game none the less. The ending is amazing. Can replay all missions which adds to the game time. Also, like GTA you can spend ages just free roaming and fighting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 23 August 2012 Share Posted 23 August 2012 How do you find the controls on pc Lav? That might convince me. Also, is Wan Chai on the map!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 23 August 2012 Share Posted 23 August 2012 First 30 minutes we're good but not great... however once you are actually into the main game its very good, similar to GTA but the combat is a lot better still not had a gun yet though but very promising so far its just like a GTA rip with shitter graphics and set in hong-kong.

I have a "Games for Windows" joypad so I couldn't tell you but I presume they would be okay. If your PC can run it at full settings than its the one to go for Wan chai isn't on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 What is the map like? How big is it? I'd say it's about the same as GTA IV, maybe a bit bigger, theres a huge mountain in the middle of the whole map though so it's a bit difficult to tell. Just buy it, it's got the guy who played Lo Pan in Big Trouble In Little China in it, that alone should sell you the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always charge you 50 quid for new games on there when you can go down to any shop in town and get it for 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
