Transgressive like Grand Theft Auto hasnt been for years, Hotline is violent, quick and compulsive but lacking in depth.
In Hotline Miami, players assume the role of a violent antihero, carrying out brutal missions against the criminal underworld in 1989 Miami, all while uncovering a mysterious conspiracy. With its top-down perspective, the game challenges players to quickly and strategically deal with numerous enemies, offering a high-octane and unforgiving experience. The game's striking visuals and immersive soundtrack contribute to its unique and surreal atmosphere.

Critic Reviews
retro kill-'em-up is unforgivingly bloody and brutal
Hotline Miami is a treat for hardcore lovers of NES-era titles, but its insane difficulty and lack of replay value may not appeal to everyone.

It’s no secret that video games have a tendency to be overly violent. Whether it’s ripping out spines in Mortal Kombat, beating up hookers in Grand Theft Auto, or gunning down innocent civilians in Call of Duty, there’s a wide variety of bloody carnage to be seen, resulting in a multitude of critics, both in and out of the industry. But it’s Hotline Miami, a PSN game by Dennation Games, which takes things one step further.
