Prepare to tear up the streets of Hong Kong in the next
explosive, mission-based add-on pack for Sleeping Dogs. Unleash the
firepower of the game’s first weaponised vehicle: an
upgradeable supercar with roof-mounted machine guns, four-wheel
steering and an EMP pulse weapon.
Drug smuggling is big business for Hong Kong’s triad gangs
and Wei Shen’s long-time friend Dr Tang has created the
ultimate vehicle to turn the tide of the turf wars: a fully
weaponised supercar. Uprated and upgradeable, the DZS-90 will give
Wei Shen enough armour and firepower to take control of business
and seize the streets back from the rival 18K gang. With new
upgrades and add-ons available after each assignment, including
twin concealed roof-mounted machine guns, four-wheel steering, an
electronic magnetic pulse, the DZS-90 builds into Sleeping
Dogs’ ultimate vehicle for those with an appetite for
destruction.
Featuring five new action-packed story missions, rain
firepowered justice down on the drug-dealing denizens of Hong Kong
island in Wheels of Fury, available now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
and PC (320MSP, $3.99, €2.99, £2.39).
Developed by United Front Games in collaboration with Square
Enix London Studios, Sleeping Dogs is a gritty and visceral open
world cop drama set in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Taking the
role of undercover cop Wei Shen, players are tasked with taking
down one of the world’s most fearsome criminal organisations
from the inside. Offering players an island packed with action,
every street corner, market stall, harbour dock or city skyscraper
can become an opportunity for intense shoot-outs,
adrenaline-fuelled street races and intense, brutal martial arts
combat. Featuring one of the most intuitive and imaginative combat
systems, Sleeping Dogs empowers players to perform an extensive set
of martial arts moves, singlehandedly taking on numerous opponents.
Players perform bone-crunching kicks and combos, vicious counters
and a cinematic set of environmental takedowns making use of
countless real-world items from circular saws to phone booths,
incinerators to refrigerator doors.
Sleeping Dogs is available now for the PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PCs. For more
