Sleeping Dogs is starting to look like it could be a contender for your money this fall. Developers are aiming to create a story inspired by many of Hong Kong cinema's finest action titles. What kind of game would it be if they didn't include the insane hand-to-hand combat? Luckily, this is exactly what they have decided to do. Borrowing a little inspiration from the expertly choreographed hand-to-hand combat scenes, the newest trailer for the game highlights just how brutal they are aiming to make combat for players. Gamers will be able to upgrade their character with more elaborate moves. Grappling and counters are seen in abundance like the true martial arts expert he is. This results in a true display of martial arts dominance. If that's not enough for you, weapons will also be available for fighting your way through the Hong Kong underground. What type of action title would it be without finishers? Making use of your environment will aid you in the crushing of enemy faces n' skulls. Taking down multiple enemies, then ending the fight with a face slam into a high spinning fan is sure to make any action fan cringe with excitement.
