A haze of neon carnage.

<span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>, a conclusion to the psychotic saga, is now available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Limbs strewn everywhere, pulsating to the rhythmic thump of a haunting mixtape sound. <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span> is a conclusion to the game that's conquered so many of our hearts, then left them bleeding out in the corner of a musty motel room. A quiet end, we should count ourselves lucky. Hotline Miami is now back with a thick, bloody vengeance. If there is one thing to love about the series (other than than the incredible soundtrack and gritty neon-laced setting), it's the precise, fast-paced gameplay which just got bigger and better. There are plenty of new, unique mask abilities like dual wielding or chainsaws (or maybe even both?), as well as seven new playable characters to make up this twisted part-prequel, part-sequel story of Jacket's aftermath.

If there was ever a good reason to pick up the bigger package, the <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Digital Special Edition</span> comes with the Remix EP and 6 unique tracks. An absolute treat, if you're into the Hotline musical stylings. Nothing's lost if you don't want to make the commitment just yet. You can always pick up the standard edition, and get the upgrade later. Once it is complete, all versions of the game will also come with a DRM-free Custom Level Editor to create your own maps and share them with friends.

Ring ring. It's <span class="bold">Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number</span>. Will you pick up?

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is unavailable for purchase in Australia. If you missed our brief statement during pre-orders, we'd like to shed a bit of light on the situation:

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board - the classification and censorship body formed by the Australian Government - this means that we are legally unable to sell the game to our Australian customers. We hated to hear it as much as you do, but after thoughtful consideration we felt that by refusing to sell the game worldwide, we would effectively apply the Australian censorship to 190+ other countries in the world. That would be unfairly punishing not just to our customers, but also the developers who took a stand against censoring their game.
By preventing purchases from IP's located within the borders of Australia, we make sure that the smallest number of people are affected by the ban. It sucks, but we believe it's the least of all evils.

Mr.Caine: having played it for 30 minutes I'd say it's different then HM1 but in a good way.

jefequeso: I might be interested in this one, if:

1) The controls have been improved
2) The story is less self-satisfied postmodernism
3) It's less physically painful to look at.
Controlls are mostly the same and I don't get your 2nd and 3rd point.
You would have to pay me not to buy this.

Don't buy, you'll hate it.

1) Controls are worse. I've got top 100 on all HM1 levels so trust me, I know. They're worse than HM1 when it was first released, even. Glitchy, stubbornly slow, and much less smooth than the first game, while still essentially "the same".

2) Haha 10x worse in this respect but who plays Hotline Miami for the story.

3) It's the same exact awesomeness it always was. I don't see why you think its painful to look at. It's BEAUTIFULLY, AWESOMELY UGLY!!

All right, I'll be steering clear of it, then.
I think you should reconsider.

bad_fur_day1: I think you should reconsider.
Well, I hated the first one, so I see no reason to purchase more of the same.

I still cannot fathom why everyone goes so gooey-eyed for Hotline Miami.

No reason to go for the second if you didn't like the first.

There's a good reason everyone likes it, it's a great videogame, and it also helps it has a great soundtrack aswell. The fine tuned mechanics reminds me of Metal Gear Solid. Very high praise. Always tough, but never undo-able.
As an Australian I will also be following the game creator's advice. :D
This one is August Underground compared to the first one's Drive.

Hard as balls, unrelenting violence, not for anyone who likes to drive 5 miles below the speed limit.

Sounds awesome, thanks for the perspective.
I would love to buy this from GOG, and will in the future if we are ever allowed. So for now I will follow the advice given directly from the developers themselves to Australians in order to play this wonderful game.
Never was able to finish the first. I dunno if I'm old or what but I got stuck on some jousting boss.
If you're an Aussie and you want to purchase the game (even though the devs are okay with pirating a copy) there is a way to do it... through Steam unfortunately.

Simple - Go to the www.steampowered.com/?cc=us website (which forces the US store and prices), add Hotline Miami 2 to your card, go to www.steampowered.com/?cc=au to force the Aussie site, go back to your cart, check out and fill in the purchasing details as necessary.

I would have loved to have purchased a GOG copy seeing as I have the first game from here but if they refuse to sell it due to arbitrary laws (that really have no place in the digital marketplace) then I will happily take my business elsewhere.

You're welcome. :D

Blimey, its out and I am not playing it
According to PCGamingWiki, Australians [url=http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Hotline_Miami_2:_Wrong_Number#Availability]can also buy[/url] it from Humble Store. Much better than buying from Steam in my book, even though GOG would be perfect.
