As far as depth goes, I can think only of Mafia II as a rival in terms of a criminal narrative. There are people on both sides that you come to trust, regardless of the horrific acts you’ve witnessed them commit, making Wei’s ability to remove himself from the situation even more difficult. These scenes are always tense because you’re distinctly aware that Wei is lying to survive, making the relationship that the player forms with the protagonist, one of complicity. Part of what makes Sleeping Dog’s story so captivating are the cutscenes. The duality of Wei’s work forces him to question his loyalty to the justice system and how that justice met out. This mental conflict between the life he chose and the one he may have had remains gripping throughout. Indeed, as the story progresses, Wei finds it hard to pull himself away from his darker side, finding the secrecy and political red-tape stifling and counter-intuitive. But, when working with his fellow gangsters, who are ignorant of his real occupation, he will commit tremendously violent crimes living such a duality must and does have a troubling effect. Wei is a cop and helps gather intel for the Hong Kong police. The game’s story spends much of its time in a morally grey area. To make matters worse, rival Triads are encroaching on their territories, throwing the city into an all-out gang war. There is a power struggle within the Sun On Yee that threatens to rip the family apart. Wei uses an old friend, Jackie, to gain a lowly position within the family. As a child of diaspora, Wei’s mission isn’t without personal risk. Wei Shen is a San Franciscan detective who has gone undercover to infiltrate and dismantle Hong Kong’s most dangerous Triad family, the Sun On Yee. Sleeping Dogs has a “prodigal son returns” theme. This game, True Crime: Hong Kong began development in 2009, but, due to the negativity surrounding the franchise, the developer dropped the name and replaced it with Sleeping Dogs.
