The sharp combat system makes this especially satisfying. Inevitably, as much as you might not want him to, Wei gets too emotionally attached to the monsters he's working for, but at least there are plenty of opportunities to beat them up before that happens. Before long you'll be angling for promotion, and occasionally meeting up with your police handler, Raymond, to hear the same lecture about not getting too emotionally attached to the monsters you're working for. You start out shaking down local vendors for protection money and beating up enemy gang members to bolster Winston's monstrous ego.
A linear series of missions inches the plot along, triggered by you visiting shifting location markers on the map. The main storyline follows an emerging gang war that threatens to overrun the city.
