It's Full of Vice!

Hotline Miami, a brutal 2D top-down shooter set in the neon '80s, is available for pre-order with a 10% discount for the next two weeks.

***Warning: this game is for adults only***

Every shot is deadly. Keep your composure, be lightning fast. Kill without mercy. Crush their skulls, gut them, decapitate, blow up, cut them in half. You will find yourself pushed beyond the limits of humanity. Wear your mask. Don't forgive. They're scum--the worst kind you can find in 1989 Miami. Will the bloodshed ever end? You tell me.

Hotline Miami is a as-gory-as-pixels-can-be high-octane action game set in alternative 1989 Miami. The top-down stealth shooter mixes lead pipe or katana-driven close combat and intense semi-automatic or shotgun-pumped gunplay. The game is extremely brutal and unforgiving; both in terms of what the masked antagonist is doing on screen and difficulty level. Make one mistake and it's your brain on the wall. Make no mistake and the satisfaction from completing yet another level is huge. Rarely you find a game that packs so much heat and delivers so much joy.

Dozens of weapons, battles with Miami's underground bosses, animal masks, neon corridors, pumping soundtrack, and fantastic visual style--all that and more in Hotline Miami, available for pre-order for only $8.99 until October 23 at 9:59 AM GMT.
I'm already fed up with this garbage.
sorry but no GOG this looks awful, stick at what your best at Good Old Games or even Good newish games or good indie games, this is none of those!

Ubivis: hmm, nothing special and I think way too overpriced.
There are a lot of this kind of games, that are completely free.

This will be a miss for me until it is on sale for less than $3
These games must sell well for GOG to add them. But i agree, doesn't seem good from screenshots.
Looks ok, I guess.
This looks like it's meant for hardgore gamers.
So, anyone tried calling the hotline yet?

SimonG: Why do the screenshots look like they were taken with a camera and a screen?
There's no other way to take screen shots in Mario Paint.
I think I'll pass on this one.
Everyone criticising should do some reading on the game. This is not your usual indie pixeled "retro" game.
Hey, this looks OK. Reminds me of an old Playstation game titled Psycho, I used to play, about 13 years ago. Wonder if Hotline is as fun as that was.

Psycho? I've never heard of that and I know of some pretty obscure games from that era, I can't even find it listed on Mobygames. Is it maybe known by another name in North America?

I just want the game, not the "experience" that may or may not be bundled with it. Because cactus. So, waiting for a faq/guide/walkthrough.
Good free alternative game is Tapan Kaikki Bloodshed.
You can download it here: http://www.errorfree.eu.org/index.php?source=downloads

I know, "i shouldn't knock it till i've tried it". But it looks very basic. At least with retro city rampage it is a homage to many classic games.

This just looks like alien shooter made for the snes.
Looks awesome, big fan of Cactus.
