No, that's Saints Row The Third.You do, however, have to deal with a scary Chinese woman that owns a restaurant. The nice thing about restaurants...

This gif pretty much sums up why anyone would want to play it.
This video, on the other hand, is the Saints Row connection. |

Oh, and you can play the Chinese version of Dr. McNinja!
And we finally find out who Mr. Black was from Reservoir Dogs! |

The game is, when played straight (instead of choosing goofy costumes just to be goofy, doing wacky stuff for no reason, etc)? It's a Hong Kong action movie that lasts for about 24 hours. Period. There's a little humor, but a lot of bloodshed, deceit, very strong voice acting, terrific combat, slow-motion shootouts, action-cinema driving, and a story that -- while not exactly throwing curveballs at you left and right -- hits all the right notes in order to make the game exactly what it set out to be: a Hong Kong action movie.

I'll vouch for Critias' review.

Enough of it is that I was really happy for subtitles. Some characters use more than others, some speak it only, some only speak English.
There's probably more English in the game than there is in Hong Kong, but I am playing the North American release version, so... |

Well, the reason I thought it was much cooler was because it appeared at first as though you got out of the driver's seat, scrambled into the passenger seat, and then opened the door and jumped out. |

I so, so, want additional content DLC soon. Or, rather, now. Right now. Already available. Right this very second, I want to be able to buy more missions and stuff. I am very, very, close to 100% completion, and that makes me sad. I want more to play.
