  • Summary: Out to avenge the assassination of his father, Chili Con Carnage hurls Ramiro Cruz deep into the seedy underworld of Los Toros, Mexico, where he must single handedly create maximum carnage throughout the inner circles of local kingpin, Cesar Morales’ drug cartel. Featuring non-stop, over-the-top action, Ramiro comes equipped with a vast arsenal of weaponry along with signature super-spicy, gravity-defying special moves. Engage in gun frenzies against comical fiends such as mustached mercenaries, mutated super-Mamas and even killer exploding chickens. The action frenzy remains intense across seven unique 3D exotic locations from the trenches of a drug city to the heart of a dense jungle – an extensive varied landscape for a portable title. Three difficulty settings make the game appeal to casual shoot-em-up gamers as well as the most hardcore battle strategists, and the wireless multiplayer features of the PSP ensure that the game is enjoyable as a single player experience as well as a fun party game.

    It's not often that I get excited about handheld games, particularly handheld action games, but Chili Con Carnage has completely blown me away and changed my view on what Sony's handheld is capable of...As an action packed shooter it's far and away the best the PSP has to offer.

    Developers, take note: this is how a handheld shooter is done. Visually pleasing, aurally satisfying and one of the most surprising conversions/upgrades the PSP has seen yet, CCC feels totally at home on the PSP.

    Chili Con Carnage is light on depth and fairly brief, but it's a raucous good time all the same.

    Quite possibly one of the best games for the PSP. Tremendous amounts of fun and excitement. If you like games like Pursuit Force and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Chili Con Carnage is for you!… Expand

    Chili Con Carne, Hispanic hip-hop, bullet time, more Mexican drug dealers than a whole season of The Shield, and heaps of high-powered guns to shoot them with... how can you possibly fault it? To be serious, I was also surprised at the amount of replay value this game has. The stages themselves have a medal system (similar to Rogue Squadron, where getting all golds was half the game), there are challenge stages in between, and heaps of unlockables. There's also an 'El Macho' mode, where you have to keep a combo going as long as you can to get a high score (the shooter equivalent of Endless Mode!) and the stages have to be unlocked through the 1 player mode. This may be a simple game at first (once you get used to the controls) but unlocking everything and getting the high scores requires real skill and practice. Overall, a fun, over-the-top shooter with puzzle game qualities- simple to learn, hard to master!… Expand

    I find most shooters on the PSP to have very awkward and cumbersome controls. CCC is a bit different; the controls are fairly simple. You use the analog to move and turn your avatar, use the D-pad to switch weapons, and use the square button to shoot. The left shoulder is used to "lock on" to objects and the right shoulder is used for enemies. The graphics are fairly good and the theme is cartoonish violence, so it works fairly well. Most of the enemies are fairly easy to kill and it's not a particularly challenging game. Overall I like it and rate it about an 8 out of 10.… Expand
