Hotline Miami – The Access verdict

Hi everyone, Rob from PlayStation Access here with our latest ‘Verdict’ video – a regular YouTube series that takes a closer look at the newest releases across all PlayStation formats.

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Hotline Miami, shooting onto PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in a neon blur of tasty, top-down action. The brainchild of indie developer Dennaton Games, Hotline Miami puts you in the 16-bit murder clogs of a nameless protagonist and then sets you loose across 20 chapters of stylised 2D ultra violence.

You’ll take on seemingly impossible odds with a combat system that belies its apparent simplicity with huge depth, numerous tactical options and bags of variety. A rich and twisted storyline tugs you through the action – action that is fast, brutal and unrelenting – plus full Cross Buy support means you’ll be able to net both the PS3 and PS Vita versions for £6.49/$7.99 from PlayStation Store right now.

I hope you enjoy the video, and be sure to check back soon for more from PlayStation Access!
