Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare at North Point 1 ~~~ XBOX360 /JTAG/ DLC ~~~ January 1 ~~~ RUS ~~~ 1

The original game Sleeping Dogs, the spiritual successor to the series True Crime, and develop previously tentatively titled True Crime:Hong Kong, offered to the player to get into the skin of a police operative embedded in one of the branches of Hong Kong triad, Sun Yee It is in order to reach its apex.The game gives the player a great and exciting story, an elaborate battle system, unequaled among the games of this kind probably will not find, as well as four great and thoroughly executedquarter of the city. In one of these neighborhoods and supernatural events occurring supplements that I want to tell you today - Nightmare in North Point («Nightmare in Nordpointe").

This addition tells us about the return from the dead hero's old enemies Sleeping Dogs, Wei Shen, which we won in the basic history of the project.It was an ordinary evening, Hong Kong, Wei was walking with a girl, holding her to the house and discussing scanned in a movie film.There were no signs, the guy could not even think it's worth it to make fun of superstitions Uncle Salty, about the magic of Hong Kong and supernatural forces, these same forces to immediately givefelt, as hysterical and arrogant "Smiling cat» (Smiley Cat), who promptly steals the poor girl. Now we have to track down the kidnapper, passing scattered and vozvernuv back into the abyss of Hell his minions and save the girl.

The mechanics of the game has not changed about it you can read the review of the main project, but in the battle system have been some features caused by otherworldly origin of ournew enemies. First minions who are on our way, called Jiang-shi is a "jumping" vampires sucking the life energy of the victims of Chinese mythology.They are vulnerable to conventional attack, but you must use the full burial techniques to achieve during disorientation, otherwise, they will once again get up and jump on us, pulling theirnumb hands. A much more serious danger is Yaoguay that in Chinese means "ghost".
These opponents much larger and stronger-shek Jiang may disappear and reappear behind the player as well as a completely invulnerable to conventional attacks.To deal with them requires a special, charged with energy sword, or completely fill the scale of "authority" that gives our hero's ability to fight the ghosts.

Actually, besides these two kinds of enemies, as well as ordinary people possessed by spirits, we are waiting for battle with several bosses, those same old enemies, returning from the dead for revenge Wei.Apart from a few story missions, addition makes the game even further and a number of which are displayed on the map after the passage of a mini-prologue and the use of healing which confers supernatural powers of tea, brewed on ... automotive antifreeze. They are divided into three types:

- Get to the point and save the man, terrorized by demons. On the map are displayed as a blue LED with a man.- Close appeared demonic portal, thrown to the three-shek Jiang and sort out the remaining. Displayed on the map as a blue portal. - Win Yaoguaya and his minions. Displayed on the map as purple portals.

Each completed task gives the player a certain gift, whether it's a new car, shirt or shoes.Also, developers have added, and pleasant things to find, namely:hellish altar, near which a donation raises the chance of ignition opponent by beating it with a full scale of "authority" charged with energy and small swords, hovering close to the ground.Pick them up, the player calls in the gaming world Yaoguaya and then crushes him. In fact, senseless occupation and perform it is in the case of the desire to knock trophy for five gold medals.

Addition Nightmare in North Point It does not change the main game and runs as a separate storyline from the main menu of the game.As a result, all of the cars, the clothes and the money we gathered in the main story, here is not tolerated, but for passing additions we get a hat-shek Jiang, which can be put inthe main game. After going through all the extra tasks and story, the player is free to just ride, look for the remaining hellish altar, to obtain the corresponding trophy or just to fight the demons. The slow passage Nightmare in North PointWithout searching all the altars and knocking achivok, took me exactly 200 minutes, that is - 3 hours, 20 minutes, at a price of five dollars, pretty good.

Verdict: Overall a very good addition. Sure, I recommend to buy it so fans Sleeping Dogs like me, who are more likely to remain satisfied with a new adventure. We are waiting for new additions, and beat out until 5 new achievements.
