Your standard combat moves are generally enough to take out most anyone you face, where moves like the Tornado are really only necessary when you're completely surrounded and entirely overwhelmed. While these special moves are cool, they're generally either not used very much or are essentially abused. Far-fetched, maybe, but these sorts of moves fit in perfectly with the game's overall style. Raging Bull sends you charging full-speed into drug smugglers, somehow killing them with the top of your noggin. The special move set also includes tricks like the Tornado where you'll leap into the air, rotate like a twister and lay waste to nearby evildoers, Uzis akimbo. On top of this, you're given both always-active special shots, like timed headshots, and a set of short-time special moves that you need to earn tokens to use, like El Mariachi, where you're given two guitar cases that burn through shells like a Hummer burns through gas. The game outfits you with a number of various slow-motion lunge and wall-hop moves, like cartwheels, back flips and the like. The game's entire success lies in the strength of this design, and fortunately it's great fun. As in the Max Payne series, players are able to pull off some Matrix-esque moves that slow down time and allow you to easily - and quite bloodily - pop a couple hundred caps into some fools asses. Guns, Guns and More Guns As mentioned, Total Overdose's strongest aspect is its gunplay and combat elements as combined with its varied move set. In the end though, Total Overdose is a hell of a good ride that, like a junkie's blackened heart, ends rather quickly.
Its exploration elements are certainly presentable, though some of this aspect could have been expanded upon or tweaked to match the polish of the game's more linear moments.
Its gunplay can often be on par with those of the Max Payne series, excellent shooters in their own right. The game's borrowed elements are both its strongest and weakest aspects. Fast, crazy and dynamic gunplay is set in an open city environment to create a title that is simultaneously a linear run-and-gun shooter and an open, exploration-oriented game. Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico is best described as a combination of Grand Theft Auto meets Max Payne, with a little Desperado or Once Upon a Time in Mexico thrown into the recipe to add some flavor. Essentially, the basis for a whole hell of a lot of good old fashioned bloodshed. It's the story we all love: father is killed, sons seek answers, drug lords come into play, so on and so forth. Hola, gringos! It's time for another classic drug czar tale, our second favorite kind of tale.
