Insane adventure for all action lovers
Set in a fictional city in Mexico, you play through a uniquely-told story in flashbacks as the brother of a DEA agent out to uncover who killed their father. In other words, a lot of people are gonna get shot.
A third person shooter with style, Total Overdose relies on you running around with dual sawed offs (and other assorted weapons) diving through the air while shooting. Gibbing is possible, and many enemies stupidly (but AWESOMEly!) stand next to explosive barrels. You can also drive trucks and cars, and dive out at the last minute as you drive it into a wall and watch it explode with the original vehicle owner still inside.
Let's face it - this game has awful graphics. But graphics aren't what's important, it's how fun the game is. Though ugly, it feels like Mexico - pedestrians die randomly as they walk down the street. It must be the water.
The soundtrack is awesome! It's the type of soundtrack you go download the second you stop playing. Latino rap-metal kicks in at just the right times to make you feel like a badass. The voice acting is horrid, but I think it's supposed to be. Just try to have fun while playing it and you'll have a blast!
