Not sure if I'll ever get around to playing it but what the hell. Maybe I'll get bored one day and need something to play (which has happened absolutely zero times) and decide to go with a GWG title. I'll start the download and then cancel it.

aye as long as you do this you'll have the option of playing it any time you want to if you do end up completely bored or dunno if your xbox360 disk drive broke you could play the GwG games for a while til you sorted a replacement console? it's always good to have more games just incase something goes odd! :D

is the game any good? is it a zombie game or more like a shooter?

It's not great but it's pretty fun if you play with friends. The game can get pretty difficult at times which is nice. It doesn't hold your hand.  The escort missions are terrible because the AI is so awful, and the game has you running through the same sewers many times which gets very reptitive. The story is completely forgettable. 


@bold I heard the game got some pretty serious patches after it's awful launch so hopefully some of the AI has been sorted, I never bought this at launch tho so I wouldn't know if their is a difference. Honestly tho, full retail game which launched in 2011 that is a good turn around from Gears 1 and Halo 3

Why couldn't you dl sleeping dogs?


Because I bought my console from the UAE but I live in Canada, so when I asked Xbox Support what the problem was, they said the publisher didn't allow the game to be downloaded if the console's region didn't match your account's region. Its the first time I've gotten that error though, cause I regularly download games with gold.

Square Enix are almost as bad at PR and how online services as Nintendo are at times. If you want to play Sleeping dogs tho? get an old copy of gta4 in gamestop for about 5-10euros, break the disk into pieces and only put in the parts of disk which involved going Bowling or eating icecream with Roman in the disk tray and when you go to play it replace your chair with some nails. Should be about the same experience.

Looking at metacritic they actually scored sleeping dogs at 80% I have no idea how anyone could rate that game anywhere near that sort of %... maybe if this was 2002 on the PS2 and sometime before GTA3 was ever shown to the media. The driving physics are criminally bad and the story is so hard to believe, you play a Cop going undercover in a whole group of crime syndicates non of whom ever seem to notice you spend half your days going to the police station and talking with the chief of police. The characters are all so cookie cutter it is like they had someone from the Villain diversity commision come in and demand they have 1 of each type of bad guy stereotype.

Seems all the gaming critics disagree with me completely and gave it an 80 but.... aye, Hated it.

Crackdown was a terrible game too with the worst story buy it has an 83 on metacritic and now its getting a sequel -_- I guess critics just aren't harsh with openworld  sandbox games.

Dead Island is a forbidden game in Germany, we get Metro 2033. What do you think? Good replacement for Dead Island?
