Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico

A classic action top shooter game

I have been playing this game countless of times before getting it on GOG and I have been immersed over various aspects of this game which I would like to point out. === GAMEPLAY & MECHANICS === As some people would imply, this game is a combination of Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne, which is a great said combination I would say! The game is set to an open-world type which means the player has the opportunity to explore various places. During combat or when you have to accomplish certain objectives, the radar at the bottom left shows you the respective location of the target although the radar in itself is not very intuitive as it only shows the expected target and such and this is it. The combat mechanics, whereas, is truly crazy! As you, the main protagonist, you have the ability to kill the enemies in various ways from bouncing through the walls and other various acrobatic movements. The slow motion combat is also pretty interesting and useful. With the X amount of kills, you get a random small prize from extra health to certain loco moves (which I'll explain later). === LOCO MOVES & WEAPONS === To add up to the combat mechanics, you also get a multitude of loco moves ranging from dangerous machine gun guitars to golden gun. In Total Overdose, you get the usual set of weapons ranging from handguns, rifles, to rocket and grenade launchers. Besides, you also get various handthrown weapons like grenades, dynamites, and molotovs. === STORYLINE & PLOT === I do not want to explain much further as I do not want to spoil the game. As you, Ramiro Cruz - the main protagonist, you end up on Mexico on to kill various drug cartels and enemies. The plot itself is not that big nor anything special but the game also offers special missions which also includes a few racing mission games! Overall, this game deserves its utmost approval from me. One thing that I wished the game should've come with is the in-built game editor where you can create custom missions and stuff.
