In the year 1989 located deep in the sweltering heat of the Mayan Jungle and camouflaged amongthe Mayan ruins, Ernesto Cruz catches his breath while he attempts a last effort to board a DRA plane to safety. He never made it home though due to an apparent, alleged Overdose. Twin brothers, Ram and Tommy, search for their father's killer through 18 different environments from the city of Los Toros to the Mexican desert. Everything 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. Rewind System - Use the rewind system to return from the grave or to make perfect killa combos Control Any Vehicle - From cars and 18 wheelers to tractors and motorbikes, dive out of any vehicle at any speed to ram enemies and do ultimate stunts Huge Arsenal - A massive range of weapons. Unlock dual wielding to do double damage. The better you get the bigger your arsenal Cutting Edge Soundtrack - Spicy selection of Mexican Hip Hop featuring Molotov, Delinquent Habits&Control Machete

 Odelay! This ain't no Mexican GTA, holmes! January 9, 2008
I am having trouble determining why this is being called a Latin GTA when all the vehicles more or less play the same way? A little hand-braking and every vehicle I borrowed flew into an exxagerated 360 donut
(can't say stole b/c every 'victim' decides to 'shotgun' with you & patiently wait should you leave the car for a second. Very generous of you, Pablo.)
The Max Payne-ish references are accurate, though. And the power-up extras are hillarious in their stupidity. C'mon, PINATA BOOM-BOOM: having blood-thirsty guerilla mercs stop from gunning you in hopes to find candy that's really a (*gasp*) bomb in a pinata?
The Mexican city backgrounds seemed too bland to really look believable...'til I visited a few in real life. And GTA gives more interraction with hookers and porn shops... unlike this game (to be honest, since the hookers sound like men/trannies in this game, you probably don't WANT interraction).
Top it off with a score collection system and car ramp stunt jumping that gets old fast(how many car ramps for stunt jumping ARE there in Mexico, anyway?)Did I mention the load times that may not bother some but will bother any who've played/beaten GTA:SA. It's still fun, though. Buy it cheap and get a cheap Mexican thrill. Oh, and my apologies if this came off prejudice. But this is a review done by someone not offended by GTA:VC references to Haitians when he's related to a few. Lighten up.

Once you get used to the controls, this game is a blast. It's a copycat for sure, but it's lively and colorful. I love the music and artistic approach; It's mindless fun with a far fetched story; It's also a game I played 3 times in row. Did I mention I'm on medication? I guess I'm always up for something 'different'....even if it is a rip-off mish-mash. Still fun to me...Also of note are all the little special moves you can use: a rewind system similar to the Prince of Persia games; run up and do cartwheels off walls; call in a Mexican wrestler to take out enemies; call in a Mexican in a skeleton suit who launches grenades at your enemies; spin around with dual uzis; the dual guitars right out of Desperado; A pinata that attracts all nearby enemies then explodes....Okay, so it's not exactly subtle in it's political incorrectness, but these little oddities are truly original in most respects and highly comical. I love a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Plus it's pretty cheap by now.
Derivative but distracting GTA rip-off April 1, 2006
Every now and then, a game comes along that is so gleefully derivative and unabashed in it's offensiveness that it still manages to be somewhat fun. Enter Total Overdose, which is yet another GTA clone, only this time it's set in Mexico, with weapons cloned from Robert Rodriguez' Desperado, and a story cloned from just about anything you've seen or read in the past decade. Despite all that, Total Overdose packs some solid graphics and familiar gameplay that makes it easy for anyone to pick up and play, and the absurdly abundant violence will make it appeal to anyone looking for a break from San Andreas. However, at spots the game is a buggy, and the gameplay gets repetitive after a while, and after hearing "Spicy Move" for the hundredth time, you'll throw your controler at your TV. There's no point in using the bulet time feature, because the game's so easy you won't really need it. All in all, Total Overdose is a worthy distraction for fans of GTA or Max Payne, but don't count on it to hold you over until the next GTA game comes out.
