Raymond is on the field a lot more this time around. Him and Wei have finally settled their differences and become friends in this game. Raymond Mak (main antagonist) - police officer and ally of Wei Shen.The more you do of unlimited rounds, the higher chance you have at receiving new outfits, other dress accessories, money, and vehicles. The regular rounds are the same from the last game and the unlimited rounds are rounds that get harder and harder each time with more enemies. Martial Arts Clubs are in every single borough and district and there are now two (2) options: the regular rounds and the unlimited rounds.There are now five enemy factions to fight in this game: Sun On Yee triads, police officers, 18k triads, Blue Dragon Union triads, and Asian Krips.Enemies are much faster in melee combat and much more accurate in shooting combat after complaints that the last game was a too easy in difficulty.To make it so that the story is more organized, Square Enix divided the story into three (3) acts.The game's tone is very dark and mature: the story deals with themes such as betrayal, violence, depression, and crime.This is not available for main story missions and cops can only be called if the player is having a hard time beating an event or getting through a case. During high-level Cop events and case missions, Wei has the ability to call cops to back him up.With the addition of helicopters, the player can reach the rooftops of Hong Kong, making the parkour much more fun.During the second act of the game, helicopters are made available to control.They appear throughout the game, including the endgame. You can do both of them to increase your XP. Triad events will be marked as red question marks and Cop events will be marked as blue question marks. If you do not reach max Triad XP or max Cop XP by the end, random events will pop up.Replayable missions return, helping you make the most out of your experience.Side content, such as favors, jobs, and races, return with much more side content to partake in.Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong Children's Fair (inspired by Hong Kong Disneyland) are also included on the map.The game's map is approximately three times (3x) bigger than the last game's map. Square Enix hired Hong Kong experts from China to map the game and expands North Point, Central, Aberdeen, and Kennedy Town, making the game feel as accurate to real life as possible. Kowloon, Kowloon City District, and Tsuen Wan are included, making it so that Hong Kong feels much larger. The map includes the return of Hong Kong, including North Point, Central, Aberdeen, and Kennedy Town.All of the skills from the first game return, so all of the sixty (60) skills and upgrades in this game are completely new and unseen mechanics.The Melee skills are earned through special combo moves and perfect fights.The Melee Training Skill Tree returns with twenty (20) upgrades this time, making the combat more enhanced and fun.The Cop Skill Tree and the Triad Skill Tree return: there are twenty (20) upgrades per skill tree this time, making the combat and shooting way more enhanced and engaging.

There are multiple activities to partake in this time around: karaoke, eating out, drinking out, movies, live performances, crazy driving, parkour, and once you get close enough to a girl, the player has the option to take the girl back home to sleep with. When going on dates, the player has the option to choose what to do. Like the last game, the girlfriends do not impact the main story.

The dating feature is expanded upon this time: Wei can go on multiple dates with multiple women.

The story takes place just two (2) years after the events of the last game.The game features the return of Wei Shen, the undercover agent from the last game.Every feature from the first game is brought back.

M (Mature) for Extreme Violence, Profanity, Sexual References, & Nudity It's a fantastic game and I wanted to share where I would have gone for a sequel. I played through Sleeping Dogs (February - March 2020) and am extremely disappointed in myself for not playing the game earlier.
