“It’s so fun. I wish they’d made more,”saidone user, while anotheradded, “The combat in this game is what made it so fire to me. Sad to see that they didn’t continue with this series.” One commentread, “Still [annoys] me that a sequel won’t get made. This game one of my favourite games.

It’s funny how the reception to such games ages like a fine wine. We seem to grow fonder as games become more distant in our memory. Is it nostalgia at play? Is it that when we revisit an old title we look at it with less scrutiny than we do upon release? Who knows, but it certainly would be nice to seeSleeping Dogsreturn.
