#TOTAL OVERDOSE 2 SERIES#
While there is a series of underlying goals, there's no one demanding you do anything immediately, although some missions are sequential. Ram's rampage is a third-person gun frenzy, all built around a freely explorable city. Other bits and pieces join up in the mix, forming a pie that you'll be sure you played before, but you can't stop eating another slice or two. It's a third-person shooter with bullet time and diving slow-motion dodges right out of Max Payne the ability to roam about the city freely while stealing cars and generally causing mayhem flows right out of Grand Theft Auto III and the firepower, huge fights, rampaging explosions are more akin to Mercenaries than anything else. To describe Total Overdose is to run through a shopping list of the best elements from a half dozen or so other games. Did I mention he's trigger happy, prone to violence, likes lighting things on fire and kicking the ever-loving crap out of everything that doesn't kill him first? That he likes to crash cars and blow up buildings and empty entire clips into "bad guys?" Yeah, subtle he ain't, but Ram is the only thing standing between the cartel imploding and Los Angeles continuing to be a haven for drug peddling fat cats. With a record that no disc jockey would play. Of course, this ignores a few minor details, like the fact that Ram's in prison. It's quite simple: send Ram in instead of Tommy, take it subtle and slow, and worm back into the heart of the cartel. Or does it? Our man Tommy, the now disabled agent, just happens to have a twin brother, Ramolito, who's a dead ringer for Tommy. Pack up your bags and let's go home the bad guys have won. Note the whole past tense there - an unfortunate tango with a hand grenade leaves our plucky agent in absolutely no condition to go stomping about Los Toros, and that ruins everything. Not two weeks before the game gets itself up and started, one of the best agents the Drug Enforcement Agency has to offer was just about to get the best information he'd ever stumbled on, enough to break through a huge cartel, and maybe even find out what happened to his father years ago. I'm sure you're all really alarmed by the idea that there are a lot of drugs and guns crossing our borders, but please try and suspend your disbelief for just a moment. At the end of the day, though, the visceral, military chaos of Mercenaries has been my personal favorite for some time.Īnd now, that's a spot that's gonna have to be shared.ĭeep in the heart of Mexico lives crime.
#TOTAL OVERDOSE 2 PC#
It's been a long year since then, and while the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas gave it a run for its money alongside a sea of wannabes. Those of you who remember such things may recall that at the top of our calendar year here at WorthPlaying, I got a chance to dish out kudos to Mercenaries, lauding its freeform gameplay and dedication to healthy amounts of violence.
