Nightmare In North Point turns out to be a lot of fun. Hopping demons, flashy battles and some rather grim jokes ensue. Finally, he must defeat Big Scar Wu personally, then burn what remains of his body in order to guarantee that Wu stays in the underworld where he belong. He must then deal with the ghosts of the three Triad members he killed during the events of the main game. Shen must first collect ingredients for a special tea that will give him supernatural powers. The rest of the add-on is fairly straightforward. Wu unleashes an army of the undead to possess and/or harass the citizens of Hong Kong, then kidnaps Not Ping, giving Shen the incentive he needs to kick some supernatural ass and bring non-supernatural order back to the streets of North Point. Having escaped from the underworld, Wu wants to take over crime in Hong Kong, and in the meantime exact a little revenge on the Triad gang who killed him in the first place.

Wei Shen has taken on of his girlfriends, ‘Not Ping’, to see a horror film, and while leaving they’re suddenly attacked by the ghost of a dead Triad gangster named Big Scar Wu. Set outside of the normal Sleeping Dogs continuity, Nightmare In North Point is in a sense an extended tribute to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, but with kung fu fighting taking the place of extremely sweet choreographed dancing.

Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare In North Point (Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC ). And one that also suggests good things to come for Sleeping Dogs fans. Alas, the story is a bit thin, and the side missions a bit repetitive, but even if it doesn’t live up to its promise, it’s still a fun, and definitely very inexpensive way to celebrate Halloween. At turns funny, fast-paced and drenched in mocking humor, it’s a departure from the serious and gritty tone of the main game, and that alone is reason to be excited for the future of Sleeping Dogs. A stand-alone mashup of Wuxia and Asian Horror tropes, players get to roam the streets of a Hong Kong overrun by supernatural terrors and, as often as possible, deliver an epic beat down to said terrors as though part of HKPD training involves fighting demons. Look, it’s scarier than it sounds.īoth monsters, or at least some very funny approximations, populate the first meaty Sleeping Dogs DLC pack, Nightmare In North Point.

China has Jiāng Shī, co-called Hopping Vampires made from reanimated corpses, possessed mortals, or just straight up demonstuff who drain the life out of the living. There’s even a festival held specifically to provide these ghosts with libations and snacks to ease their time in the afterlife. Forget regular boring ghosts, China has Hungry Ghosts, spirits of the dead who return to the mortal realm on certain special occasions to slake their unquenchable thirst and insatiable hunger for mortal food. If you’re sick to death* of boring zombies and pretentious vampires prancing around and ruining your halloween with their shambling bloodlust and sparkles, why not spend your next halloween in China.
