So who is going to find out what happened to his father, you might ask?Įnter Ramiro Cruz, the twin brother of the injured D.E.A. The next level was the broken-legged agent trying to infiltrate a Mexican cartel (per his contact's tip off) which leads to his broken leg. So I think, okay, I'm this guy and the whole game is him telling his boss about the various missions that will eventually lead to the broken leg. Apparently, this agent is the son of the first guy and he just received a tip as to who might be behind his father's murder. agent, is talking to his CO explaining a mission he was just on. As you and your team fly away from the jungle, though, your boss (whose face is cleverly concealed) shoves you out of the plane.Ĭut to the next scene where a man in a wheel-chair, another D.E.A.
TOTAL OVERDOSE PS2 HOW TO
As you clear out the old ruins that are being used to fly marijuana out of the country, you learn how to use the various controls and weapons. The first level gave you control of a D.E.A. I spent the first several levels of the game just trying to figure out which character the story was about. Total Overdose's story starts off a bit unusual. At times, the script seemed a bit forced and I never really got the impression that the voice-actors were standing in the same recording booth actually talking to each other. The game's voice acting is okay, but nothing really stellar. Though you do get a nice, satisfying thud when you hit an enemy in the side of the head with a rake. Though there are a wide variety of firearms, there doesn't seem to be too much of a difference between the pistol's report and the shotgun blast. Total Overdose is about average in the sound department. Everything from the expansive highways to the cramped cities did a good job of pulling me in and helping me believe I was out in the middle of the desert. When driving through the dusty city streets, it is easy to get lost and turned around in the many winding roads and alleyways. The large open-ended world also feels right. Not only does your character have the ability to use multiple handguns and perform wall jumps, but the John Woo effect is furthered by slow motion explosions and giant balls of flame when you blow up gas and propane tanks.
When it comes to the hordes of thugs that you will have to shoot, bat or run over, they pretty much all blend together and don't stand out as unique.
TOTAL OVERDOSE PS2 SERIES
Graphically, Total Overdose looks good, characters are nice and generally have a diverse series of animations that they can use. Total Overdose is a GTA clone that tries to be something more by changing the set-up and location, and adding some John Woo-like action moves, but alas, it falls short and ends up being nothing truly special.
