What if Robert Rodriguez created a video game?, Oct 14 2005
By Richard Herrera - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Total Overdose A Gunslingers Tale in Mexico (Video Game)
Total Overdose is a game that takes some of the most fun aspects of gaming today, tweaks them, and sets them in Mexico. You play as Ram, an ex-con who is given a second chance by his brother Tommy, a DEA agent, who was injured while trying to expose a drug cartel. Ram takes on the tasks set forth by his brother and sets out to expose the cartel.The game plays just like a combination of Max Payne moves, a free-roaming enviornment, and offers you multiple ways to take down drug dealers/lords. The story will keep you entertained as you learn what happened to your father, who is responsible for betraying you and what is in store for Ram. Furthermore, the music is some of the best that I've heard for a game (the intro alone will have you coming back to the game just to hear the music). I highly recommend this fun and addictive game.

This review is from: Total Overdose A Gunslingers Tale in Mexico (Video Game)
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
By N. Durham "Big Evil" - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Total Overdose A Gunslingers Tale in Mexico (Video Game)
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.
