Description
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 later, 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.

Take control of Ramiro Cruz, a man on a crazy mission through Mexico's drug-fuelled underworld. An amazing combat system keeps the action intense, mixing third person action with an incredible combo system for maximum carnage - and maximum replayability. Hilarious special moves and a huge amount of weaponry makes Total Overdose as frantic and fun an adventure as you could ever hope to find, and a red-hot latin soundtrack fits the action perfectly. This can be the perfect Latino gangsta sandbox game you were looking for all your life!

  • A rich storyline as it takes you through 18 different environments, from the seedy red light district of Los Toros to the depths of the Mexican desert.
  • Take down your enemies with a free-style combat and stunt system that gives you more outrageous moves than you can shake a hot chili at.
  • Meet über-cool characters and take part in missions with a strong whiff of tequila.

Good Old Times

I remember playing this game as a teen... After Gta 3, Vice City and San Andreas, there were not a lot of alternatives back then in Open World Games... and this? This took the crown for me :D It was just over the top almost non stop action. I can't wait to go back to it again :D

Fun trip down memory lane

Reminds me of a nicer time when games were made to be fun, zany and full of character. Total overdose doesnt take itself seriously and sometimes that's a refreshing approach to both the plot and gameplay mechanics. The game aged a lot, but still provides a fun experience.

Not a GTA clone

I have no idea why people compare it to it, despite them having nothing in common. The "open world" is basically a hub where you take missions (which you can totaly just use a menu to do), and it plays just like a regular TPS. Personally I've always though about it as a more of a Max Payne inspired game, with its bullet time, and The Matrix for its crazy moves. Amazing rollercoaster ride to take. Turn your brain off and just enjoy great and stylish action with some seriously kick-ass music.
