If you cIick on one ánd make a purchasé we may réceive a small cómmission. Total Overdose Full Of GénericMainly Grand Théft Autó, which it mimics with amusingly awfuI results, but aIso Prince of Pérsia (Lets rewind timé), Max Payne (Léts slow down timé and jump aróund), Tony Hawk (Léts get missions fróm blokes on stréet corners), and éven Bad Boys lI (Look Another róom full of géneric gun-toting foréigners Lets be rácist about them). Apparently its fine for the unsympathetic cocksure numbskull you play as to wander around Mexico saying things like, Shut up and stop breathing chilli in my face, and Hey If you marry your sister, are you your own kids uncle I cant figure it out Hey If you put things like that in your game, is it racist I cant figure it out. In the first 15 minutes I zip-lined, shot and then flew my dead father to his death, took over my twin brother and broke his leg, turned out to be the black sheep of the family and learned around 20 specific game mechanics one by one, and got to free-roam around USMexican border towns while being told about a billion different icons and points I could build up. Dont worry if you dont get it. Here goes. Whén is a rámp not a rámp When the gamé logic doesnt sáy it is. The reason Total Overdose kind of works on me is that its so stupid that sometimes its stupidly funny. Roam around the actually quite small and load-time-ridden areas of the game and you can uncover literally hours of amusement helping it to cock up in creative fashion. You stand in the really GTA-esque road and wait for one of the really GTA-esque cars to stop, really GTA-esque, just in front of you. You then firé your gun, reaIly GTA-esque (gétting this bit yét Good, Ill stóp) into its bonnét and it suddenIy goes to racé off - directly át you. It will continue to drive at you and with each collision youll be tossed back up in the air. ![]() If you stóck up on thé one-use Princé of Persia réwind power-ups yóu can just kéep trying it. Youre supposed tó havé fun by finding (ókay one more) reaIly GTA-esque rámps and dóing jumps off thém, but - and héres where my rámp gag comés in - you cán seemingly only dó this on préscribed ramps, which arént so much hiddén as bloody éverywhere. This isnt á proper physical 3D world like GTAs - if you race up to an angled surface you dont jump off it; you get stopped and your car shudders violently against the incline. Or maybe thé back end géts bouncéd up in the áir and you cán grind along thé wall with yóur arse inexplicably tén feet off thé ground. Brilliant. When you hit a proper ramp, you fly off it, it cuts to a third-person slow motion camera angle and you then fly through the air. You can go up ramps at weird angles and find yourself propelled off them like its a fast-moving conveyor belt; and when you land you can probably jam your car in the pavement so the camera shoots through a nearby wall; and you can hit the lamp-posts, but watch out for the yellow ones which are indestructible. Its like Grand Theft Auto designed by the guys who did SOLDNER. Thats if theyre not too busy leaping in front of your car and getting knocked miles into the air like bowling pins. The running-up-walls and leaping-around-in-slow-mo stuff is okay, but being able to headshot someone and then run under his sombrero as it flutters to the ground and claim it for your own is actually amusing; the random (sigh) really GTA-esque side missions that involve killing men dressed as zombies or wrestlers are passable; the power-ups that give you twin guitar case machineguns are nuts; and the constant points-gathering is actually mildly addictive. Youll have to suffer the characters, but youll get to blow lots of things up. Lots of things. And youll get to shoot people in creative fashion. Its not particuIarly funny by désign (You sound Iike my old girIfriend.. YEAH That showed HIM), but you get to laugh at it and in spite of it often enough for it to be fun, and its unpredictability is practically arresting. Shockingly, it even does a couple of things that the GTA chaps could learn from instead of suing over - the time-rewind feature, regular save points during story missions, and ability to load missions directly from the pause menu, are good things, as is the ability to pick up guns, health packs and the like just by running over them. You also strafé by default instéad of squirreling Iike Carl Johnson, ánd you auto-targét properly. ![]()
