The year is 1989 and deep in the sweltering heat of the Mayan jungle, camouflaged among the Inca ruins, Ernesto Cruz catches his breath for a few moments and admires his handiwork, bodies strewn across the temple ruins, as he makes a last gasp effort to board a DEA plane to take him to safety. He never made it home, the tragic victim of an alleged 'overdose.'
Two weeks ago Ernesto's son, Ramiro Cruz is hauled out of jail by the DEA to be told his twin brother, Tommy, works for them as an undercover agent and has some new information about their father's death. But, Tommy has had an accident with a hand grenade and now Ramiro must take his brother's place in an undercover operation closing in on the ruthless drug cartel overlord Papa Muerte.
Through stylised Mexican neighbourhoods and jungle hide-outs to the swanky Californian coast; Total Overdose is an over-the-top, adrenalin-fuelled, free-style action, third-person cinematic adventure with a strong whiff of tequila.
Crash cars, steal hats, shoot bad guys with style, jump bikes, fight in the street, meet girls, shoot more bad guys, find your fathers killer, hot-wire tractors, eat Burritos, catch planes, drink tequila; the Mexican heat can make people do the strangest things.

A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico
This is a game that many see as more a GTA Clone, but this game is different enough that definitely warrants a Play through. In Total Overdose you play the role of Ramiro Cruz who was brought in to take the place of his Twin Brother a DEA Agent who before suffering serious injuries had infiltrated a drug cartel while investigated a lead on their father’s death and he is take the Undercover Persona hi brother had created. Total overdose many Elements that are taken from other games and they used effectively including Bullet Time, the Slowing of Time and it even has that other Special ones of it Own these are called Loco Moves which are Power ups that are helpful as well as Amusing including the Explosive Piñata which attract enemies and explodes killing them and showers Confetti in the Aftermath and Mysterioso which Summons a Mexican Wrestler who wields a random melee weapon as well as some more straightforward ones like the Golden Gun an Instant kill weapon and El Mariachi where Ram wields two Guitar Case each with Machine Gun inside as Seen in the Film Desperado and many more and these are earned by performing combos by essentially by killing enemies in a row With the inclusion of vehicles this also lets set up some explosive action by driving towards you enemies and jumping from the car movie style and killing them and cars explosion will get any survivors The games environments allow some level of free-roaming and there are missions scattered around, to save time instead of driving to missions you can select them from the Games menu sometimes you will have to perform that are unrelated to the story to unlock the unlock more but these challenges are rarely boring The Games visuals are not as great as they could but when you are in middle of the action things start looking better the frame rate holds up rather well. The games explosions are satisfying they will send enemies and environmental flying, other than building almost everything else in the game can be destroyed. The soundtrack used fits the mood of the game very well, and Voice acting in also good throughout the game. As with all games there are always some problems and the ones present in Total overdose are not much of problem the ones I encountered are that the Games driving Mechanic is not quite as fun as the rest of the game, the enemies can be a little underwhelming but it makes up for this with stupid people are still dangerous in groups, on occasion the continuous Combat can become boring but by pulling off a few Loco Moves can be enough to bring back the enthusiasm and even a smile. Total Overdose may not be on the same level as some of the Genre more polished offerings but it is nevertheless entertaining with over the top action, explosions and some funny moments.
