  • Summary: 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. [SCi Games]… Expand

    The gameplay, the story, the graphics, the music, the voice acting ... it's all imbued with such a central sense of style that the game just pops.

    The game's audio, variety of weapons and moves keeps you interested for a while, but the game isn't that long and is very repetitive, which certainly kills any buzz you originally had.

    Cheap AI, lame graphics, dull gameplay. It's all there for the suffering.

    An incredibly addicting and very stylish game. It bothers me that so many people keep comparing to GTA.The combat system in Total Overdose is A LOT more fun than the one in GTA, although, truth be told, it is stolen from the Max Payne series of games. The way I see it, it's more important to understand and appreciate Deadline Games' effort to pay tribute to film director Robert Rodriquez's crazy El Mariachi-trilogy. The graphics may not be very beatiful, but the gameplay, art direction and especially the soundtrack is top notch. A higly recommended, very entertaining game.… Expand
