Despite convincing the gang members he is one of them, Wei Shen remains undercover to attempt to complete his goal of infiltrating the Sun On Yee from the inside. Wei Shen is put on various missions by Winston Chu to prove his loyalty to the gang. The Water Street Gang occupies the North Point area of Hong Kong, and their criminal activities revolve around low-level crimes, such as burglary, protection for local businesses, and petty theft. Wei agrees and shortly thereafter is introduced to Winston Chu, who is a senior member of the Sun On Yee Triad and leader of the Water Street Gang. While in jail, he runs into a childhood friend, Jackie Ma, who offers to let Wei Shen join his gang when they are released. "Sleeping Dogs" for Xbox 360 starts with an undercover cop named Wei Shen, who gets arrested when a drug deal goes wrong. Like most open-world games, each district provides different resources, purchasable items, and missions. They are named North Point, Central, Kennedy Town, and Aberdeen. Although the gameplay area is based on real areas in Hong Kong, there are actually four fictionally created districts within the game. "Sleeping Dogs" is an action-packed, single-player crime drama presented as an open-world, third-person, and RPG game set in modern-day Hong Kong. "Sleeping Dogs" was originally slated to be published by an American company with a 2011 release date, but when things did not work out, Square Enix acquired the game and released it a year later. It was released worldwide in August of 2012 for a variety of consoles, including Microsoft Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 (PS3).
