Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

While the first game offered only two playable characters with each one tied to specific parts of the game, the sequel offers a larger playable cast.

Each level offers a single character or a small selection to choose from and each character offers a distinct perspective of the events.

The character selection is similar to the use of masks in the first game.

Each character has a specific set of abilities and perks, such as a faster speed, the ability to dodge roll, dual weapons, melee weapons only, Alex and Ash Davis as twins who use a chainsaw and guns and one is invincible as long as the other is alive, faster aiming, a silenced pistol, executions with firearms etc.

Some characters allow the player to choose from different skillsets or weapons.

Just like the original game the gameplay is fast and a single attack is often lethal, meaning levels are meant to be replayed multiple times until all enemy patterns are figured out.

Levels have specific objectives and in most of them all enemies need to be killed.

Short scenes between the missions further the story.

Enemies downed with melee attacks need to be executed to prevent them from coming back, players have to take into account a line of sight through windows, also to avoid snipers, various weapons can be picked up and thrown etc.

It is still possible to slightly view ahead to anticipate.

Unlike the original game there are now two difficulty levels. 'Hard' is unlocked after completing the campaign on 'normal'.

Enemies become harder to defeat and certain abilities, such as enemy locking, are removed.

The game includes a level editor made available some time after the release.

It can be used not only to create levels, but also cutscenes with dialog.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number for PlayStation 4 is currently worth €36.64 loose. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is currently worth €36.64 loose, versus €13.89 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
