Product Description

From the Manufacturer

1989: Deep in the heart of the Mexican jungle, undercover-agent Ernesto Cruz blasts his way through an armed militia to board a DEA plane bound for home. He never made it, the victim of an alleged overdose.

Present day: After uncovering new evidence, Ernesto’s son, Ramiro is set free from jail to join his twin brother Tommy, on the trail of their father’s killer as they go on a super-cool, tequila-fuelled rampage through Mexico's gun-toting, drug-pushing underworld.

Features:

• A rich storyline taking the player through 18 different environments, from the seedy red-light district of Los Toros, to the depths of the Mexican desert.
• A free-style combat and stunt system to take down your enemy with more outrageous moves than you can shake a hot chilli at.
• Cutting edge soundtrack featuring Molotov, Delinquent Habits, Control Machete.
• Uber-cool characters and missions with a strong whiff of tequila.
• Over 20 weapons: the better you get, the bigger your arsenal!
• Use the real-time rewind system to make perfect killa combos.

Product Description

The year is 1989 and deep in the sweltering heat of the Mayan jungle, camouflaged among the Mayan ruins; Ernesto Cruz catches his breath as he makes a last gasp effort to board a DEA plane to take him to safety. He never made it home, the tragic victim of an alleged ‘OVERDOSE’. The search for their father’s killer takes twin brothers Ram and Tommy through 18 different environments from the city of Los Toros to the Mexican desert. From stylized Mexican neighborhoods and jungle hide-outs to the swanky California coast; TOTAL OVERDOSE is an over-the-top, adrenaline-fueled, free-style action, 3rd person cinematic adventure with a strong whiff of tequila.

This review is from: Total Overdose: A Gunslingers Tale in Mexico (CD-ROM)

Total Overdose is a fun game if you're looking for fast first-person shooter action and aren't bothered by a "shallow" game. This game isn't built on plot, and I don't think it's one of those ones you would want to re-play many times. However, it is pretty fun and not terribly challenging. If the racial stereotypes, immature main character, gratuitous near-nudity, and senseless violence don't bother you, it's not a bad game! The game is not nearly as detailed or "deep" as, for example, Grand Theft Auto, but the gameplay is a lot faster and the main story/quest line develops quickly.

This review is from: Total Overdose: A Gunslingers Tale in Mexico (CD-ROM)

Bullet time style game play, amusing for small periods of game play, but loses it's appeal after a few hours. It gets repetitive and uninventive after you jump-killed the same looking guys over and over. It is fun, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying it's not a game that you can play for long periods of times without getting bored. Just cause is another game like this one that is fun for short periods of time, but the side quests and missions begin to lose their appeal as they are very uninspired.
