No Two Characters Are the Same
Fans coming to Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number from the first entry may have already noticed something very different. Where in the first game you behaved the same in pretty much every level, Hotline Miami 2 introduces way more playable characters that you will have to adjust to. This not only shakes up the gameplay into something much more engaging, but it also has the tendency to throw off your groove. Each character has something that changes the approach you can use so this is something you will need to get a grasp of quickly.
For instance, one of the first characters you can use, Corey, has the ability to use a dodge roll. You can use this to chain moves together and to duck under a deadly spray of bullets. Then you have a soldier who can switch between his combat knife and whatever gun you select at the very beginning of his missions. Since this guy is unable to pick up any other weapons, you will have to learn to conserve ammo and figure out ways to single out enemies.
There will be opportunities to select who you use later on in the game, so be mindful that choosing different masks often changes more than just giving you an extra ability. They have the potential to completely change how Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number plays.
