The elevator stops at your floor and the doors open, acting quickly you hurl your
empty shotgun at the guard, knocking him to the floor. In a second you
are on him, smashing his head against the floor in a shower of blood, another guard enters the room and you dash at him, flooring
him with a right hook. Taking his pistol you grab him by the neck and
pull him to his feet, and using him as a human shield you enter the next
room, firing at the guards seated on a sofa. Another catches you by
surprise and unloads a shogun at you, killing your hostage, his body
slumping to the ground as you dash for cover. Bursting into a
bathroom you quickly slit the throat of a urinating hostile, before
being set upon by a vicious guard dog who tears out your throat,
decorating the walls and floor with fountains of crimson. You are
dead. Again!
If you thought that GTA was the
pinnacle of video game violence then you ain't seen nothing yet.
Hotline Miami is a new indie game that fuses together elements of the
original top-down GTA games with the sickening ultra violence of
games like Carmageddon, and Man Hunt. With a sleazy Neon 80's vibe that brings to
mind movies such as Scarface and, more recently, Drive, and the hazy
psychedelic insanity of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, this game
is a brutal and twisted adrenalin rush from the very beginning.
