If you can pan the camera further away you can get a quick sniper shot at them and a free hit, but for fewer points.

Enemies will see you if you can see them, this is how Hotline Miami works.

I feel the placement is haphazard where using strategies in the last game over way over used here and end up being used to exploit the game to advance which is not fun at all. They all have a variety of guns, melee weapons, and a few can only be taken down with certain weapons. There are so many enemies in each level and I mean tons. You could say it’s worse level design but that’s not the case, I feel it’s more like poor enemy placement. Miami 2 is a near frustrating mess of endless restarts and trial and error. It had great replay value because it was the perfect challenge. However, and it pains me to say this, but the story isn’t the worst thing in Miami 2. It’s frustrating and makes you want the storyless original back. There’s some dialog with no connection to the previous scene. Each level just starts and the story is just there. The story does not make one lick of sense because you are being flip-flopped between time periods and so many different characters. Wrong Number starts out by giving us some back story…well it tries and miserably fails at it. Hotline Miami 2 brings back the epic music, great art, violence, and well…some other things we didn’t really want. The music was fantastic as well, but the best part was the “just one more level” appeal. It was violent, fast paced, had tight controls, and rocked a retro 8-bit art style like no other game has. Hotline Miami was one of my favorite games in 2013. The Bad: Awful and confusing story, every strategy used in Miami 1 is abused here, poor enemy placement leads to frustrating restarts and trial and error, overstays its welcome The Good: Fantastic music, vibrant graphics, fast paced gameplay, extremely violent By ivory_soul | Review Date: March 23, 2015
