Total overdose pc review
At the end of each mission you’ll be given a score, so there is somewhat of a Tony Hawk’s Skater feel to it – just with high powered weaponry rather than skateboards. You earn points for pulling off combos (essentially the number of kills you can achieve in a row) and for pulling off signature moves (such as killing an enemy with a bazooka while in a slow-mo dive). It’s crazy stuff, but all adds to the fun of the game.Īll this makes combat in Total Overdose brilliant fun, but there’s also a high-score element to it all. A golden gun kills enemies in one shot the Tornado sends Ramiro into a spin, taking out any enemies hit by his machinegun fire El Mariachi gives Ramiro two fully loaded guitar cases that take out anything in their path Mysterioso sends a crazy Mexican wrestler after enemies the exploding piñata draws in enemies like bees to honey and then explodes El Toro makes Ramiro temporarily think he’s a Bull, allowing him to ram enemies and the Sombrero of Death sees a Sombrero wearing skeleton join Ramiro to fight enemies with his explosive armoury of weapons. As well as the ‘normal’ moves you can earn special moves. How about throwing a grenade into a crowd of enemies, slowing down time and then blasting it out of the air with your pistol, sending everyone near the grenade flying? Maybe a bit of action-movie-style jumping out of a fast moving truck moments before it explodes when hitting a target is more your thing?Īnd there’s even more. Copies or not, they’re still great fun to use, and they’re not all the game has up its sleeve. You’ve got the slow-mo bullet time diving seen in the likes of Max Payne and Dead to Rights, and the rewind time feature that was used well in the modern Prince of Persia games (and Blinx on Xbox).

It’s fair to say that some of the moves aren’t all that original.

The number of moves may seem a little daunting, but they’re mapped well to the controller, making for some of the best action ever seen in a videogame. However, A quick run around the training area suddenly reveals the wealth of combat options you have at your disposal, setting up a game that is immense fun and satisfying to play. Initially the game is pretty underwhelming, with some ropey looking visuals and generic third-person shooter action. The only problem is that Ramiro Cruz ‘El Gringo Loco’ is an ex-con who likes to do things his own way, so things get a little crazy.

#Total overdose pc review movie#
In a Hollywood movie moment, it just so happens that Tommy has a twin brother who’s more than capable of stepping into his shoes. The set-up in Total Overdose is a simple one: a young undercover cop (Tommy) is on the verge of taking down a huge drug syndicate in Mexico, but an unfortunate accident puts him out of action. While not really coming close to GTA in terms of overall game experience, Total Overdose focuses on gunplay, and does it exceedingly well. Total Overdose will be dismissed by many as a poor GTA clone, mainly due to its city setting, car driving, violence and bad language, but playing the game is a very different experience to Rockstar’s multi-million selling offerings.
