IN REAL LIFE. |

| I love Hotline Miami. It's certainly one of my favourite games of the year. That soundtrack... |

| Agreed, it's sublime. Not just the tracks from the levels, either; I love the tune used on the title screen - Horse Steppin' by Sun Araw:

| I'm massively rubbish at it, but totally appreciate its place in the list. Maybe one day I'll learn... |

| Hotline Miami is absolutely incredible, and in my opinion does more to further the cause for "Games are art too" than any of the more obvious contenders have managed to do. Why? Because it stops and makes you walk back through the pile of dead bodies. That moment where the tension is done, the relief is palpable, and the silence is eerie ... suddenly is imbued with a mild horror at what YOU just did.
Nothing I have played has given me cause to think to that same degree.
Also, soundtrack of all time. OF ALL TIME! The track Neon picked above is quite breathtakingly beautiful, and the rest of them re equally great. It is a game that is absolutely enhanced by the soundtrack, evoking the spirit of the times perfectly. |

| I was really enjoying Hotline Miami until a bug prevented me from getting past level 10 because I'm on Windows 8. Incidentally the bug is to do with windows breaking and the sounds crashing the game. I will contribute my full thoughts once I install Steam on the work server (running W7) and finally finish it.
And yeah the soundtrack is god-tier. |

| You are not the only finding it hard. Are you using a joypad as well by any chance? |

| If you don't want to wait, you could edit your save file to open up the later levels. Here's a guide:
