If you have never seen ‘Enter the Dragon’ with Bruce Lee as the lead, then I urge you to go and do so right away if you have played and enjoyed this DLC! This time, however, Wei Shen must “become the dragon”! Funded by a very wealthy man and bet on by very wealthy people, this may sound like a peculiarly familiar setting to some. With grainy film effect in full swing throughout, Wei Shen makes his way on to the secluded island to enter a martial arts tournament for “the best of the best of the best” fighters from around the World. I personally found the game to imitate the kung-fu-undercover-cop film genre fairly well, and one certain DLC pack in particular – ‘The Zodiac Tournament’ – realises this in a near-satirical manner, as you can see below at the beginning of this mission: Without spoiling the main storyline, whilst it is fairly flat and serious compared to other open-world games, as often reviews have pointed out, it does have its little quirks and jokes, especially when you add some DLC into the mix. The other day I completed the the Sleeping Dogs main storyline and the (considerably shorter) ‘Nightmare in Northpoint’ and ‘Year of the Snake’ DLC stories. Instead, I'm going to have to give it a nine.******WARNING****** GRAPHIC EXPLICIT VIOLENT IMAGES AND POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR SLEEPING DOGS MAIN AND DLC STORYLINES ******WARNING****** If you had been allowed to bring along your melee-enhancing outfits or the timed-mission wasn't so punishing, I'd have given this a full ten. In short, I heartily recommend The Zodiac Tournament but it's not without flaws. I was looking forward to beating the island as Monkey. Unfortunately, you can't bring any of your cool toys or outfits to the island, which means it might as well be a separate storyline. This is a major boon as it makes the tournament seem part of the narrative. One thing which separates The Zodiac Tournament from the rest of the Sleeping Dogs DLC is that it can be played as a part of Sleeping Dogs proper. The fact it's the last level only makes it doubly frustrating. I still haven't beaten it despite literally dozens of tries. The only thing I regretted about it is the final mission, which stupidly introduces a timed-mechanic when the rest of the game is mercifully without.
There's not much to say about this DLC other than it's fun, entertaining, and filled with surprises. The free-running sections of the tournament are some of my favorite. The other fighters aren't tremendously deep characters but some you genuinely mourn when the fights turn deadly while others you just want to ring the life out of yourself. There's also free-running sections through trap-filled zones that are incredibly fun. The tournament doesn't just include your typical melee brawls but several twists I'd be remise in spoiling. The visual homages to EtD are everywhere.ĭespite this, the DLC is still fun. Aside from a quest to get Fire Opal Statues, which don't do anything until after you've completed the DLC, there's not much to do around the island. The island for the adventure is almost entirely railroaded-in, taking you everywhere you might want to travel during the adventure itself. The DLC advertises there is a "new island" to explore but this is somewhat misleading. He doesn't have any friends on the island either, the good competitors think he's a Triad stooge while the bad ones, well, are bad. From the moment the tournament begins, Wei Shen is surrounded by some of the deadliest fighters in the game.

Which is entirely appropriate.įrom the moment you step on the boat to reach the island, everything switches to a grainy 1970s movie feel. The villain goes so over the top, he reaches space. Why? Because one look at the guy and you'll know he's not going to let you walk away with the tournament's winnings. Doctor Zhang may or not know Wei Shen is an undercover cop but doesn't care either way. The Hong Kong police, not approving of death matches, sends Wei Shen to infiltrate the tournament. The premise of the game is the best martial artists in the world have been invited to the deadly tournament of Doctor Zhang. It thus feels natural that Sleeping Dogs would do an extended homage to the movie.
There's a reason it's the basis for virtually every fighting game ever made. There's something fundamentally primal about a martial arts master being invited to a brutal tournament where only the strongest warrior will walk away alive. It is the best remembered of Bruce Lee's few films for good reason. Enter The Dragon is one of my favorite movies of all time.
