Sleeping Dogs wants you to investigate the seedy Hong Kong underbelly

Next week on Tuesday, you'll get to step into the shoes of Wei Shen and into the open world setting of Hong Kong where you'll be going undercover and playing for both sides of the law.

You'll be fighting, racing, investigating and shooting your way through various missions. This is an open world game after all so expect a lot of side missions that will no doubt tack on a lot of extra hours.

If you'll be picking up Sleeping Dogs on the PC, you'll be treated to a lot of extras as far as graphics go. Higher resolution will give an incredible sense of scale and detail, in game shadows will receive a significant upgrade and will also feature performance enhancements for both dual and quad core PC setups. Looks like if you want the best looking version of Sleeping Dogs, you should be getting it on Steam. Not to mention you get some sweet Team Fortress 2 hats if you pre-order.

Look for Sleeping Dogs on August 14th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
