Gryph Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Last night someone recommended the demo to this not very well known game, Total Overdose. I must say that I was thoroughly impressed because it was fun as hell. I've played it atleast 5 times already. The game doesn't have very good graphics, in fact it looks like something from 2002 but don't let that dissuade you since the gameplay is great. Think of it like El Mariachi (a movie with lots of Mexicans and guns) + GTA (minus the full cities, it just has cars) + Max Payne (slow mo shoot dodging) + Tony Hawk (you can rack up points with cool killing combos.) I went in with zero expectations thinking it was going to be just a lame GTA/Max Payne ripoff with Mexicans. I was very pleasantly surprised and will probably be buying it since I'm pretty sure it's a budget title. There's just something really fun about jumping out of a speeding fuel tanker and shooting 2 guys midair while the tanker hits a wall and explodes killing 2 more guys. All in slow motion ofcourse. You can watch trailers and get the demo here: http://www.fileshack.com/author_search.x?a=Deadline+GamesYou can check out pics here: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?comments=38745 EDIT: Oh yeah, here is the website: http://www.gringo-loco.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I've seen a lot of TV ads, and quite frankly, I don't know what to think of it. Will try the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was nice to play a game that I could completely max out on my computer. It's been a while since I could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I have to agree with Mr. G, this game suprised me in a positive way. There's nothing like doing a cartwheen off a wall in slow motion while shooting everything in sight. The game's humorous too, which is always a plus.

Shibathedog Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well i have a feeling that its going to be a really nice final product They are focusing more on the GAMEPLAY, more than the GRAPHICS!!! HEAR ME DEVELOPERS HEAR MEEEE!!!! I once heard that graphics design takes up either half, or more of the development time of modern games, and i wouldnt doubt it. I honestly dont give a crap about graphics, i still own an Atari 2600, Just make fun games damnit, FUN GAMES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Total Overdose is like when Max Payne meets Grand Theft Auto + a little bit of The Matrix. Or something. Loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 A certain bay containing pirates has the full version for sale already. I think only XBox and PC version though, but im positive about the PC version being there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
