    I like, even if I feel like a psychopath.

    I think that's one of its best features. Hotline Miami doesn't make any attempt at justifying or glorifying the violence. It says straight out at the start that you're a horrible person going steadily more insane. It's a lot easier to stomach than any of the typical COD violence which tries to make genocide seem like the right and noble thing to do. Comparing the two, I'm sickened far less by Hotline Miami's honesty.

    Any mouse should do the job. Just don't buy the Magic Mouse, awful for any gaming.

    Yeah I just plug in any old mouse and it tends to work fine. Can't imagine playing this game with anything else!

    I had passed level four - the first really hard one - the other night but it failed to load yesterday! Probably spent about half an hour trying to finish it again :pac: Next two were a walk in the park compared to it, even those ****s with the Uzis.

    Must complete this sometime, but I should warn you, there's a stealth level later on and it's so teeth-grindingly frustrating it may (almost) ruin the game for you.

    I played and finished the game using an Xbox controller. Do they work on Macs?

    Sorry, was just referring to the trackpad comment. Too early in the morning!

    I don't have a wired 360 pad or wireless adaptor to try on Mac, although my 360 arcade stick works with some games (not helpful here). I tried to get a dualshock - which is supported in Mac OS - working but even with a key mapper it wouldn't register the right stick for mouse control, which was a shame.

    The hospital level was fun, just requires a bit of timing, alot harder levels in the game that took me way more retries

    The soundtrack is in the main directory of the game. Just look for the .ogg files.

    Hotline Miami creator Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström has officially revealed a sequel to his award winning colourful killing spree simulator.

    There's another ending if you collect all the secret letters. I recommend looking it up on youtube rather than wasting your time combing each level

    It took Sips from the yogscast 5 hours to complete, most people seem to get stuck more easily though so possibly alot longer.

    I did. Didn't have any problems with it.

    The only problem I did have with it was infrequent crashes due to the smashing glass sound effect. Could be patched by now though.

    both i think, it's free on the US PS+ , i'm not sure if you can download stuff from the US PS+ if you are already a paid up member of the Irish/UK one, I just never tried it. I have downloaded demos from the US PS+ store

    Man this is addictive stuff. Simple (mechanics, not gameplay!) and brilliant!
