Manufacturer's Description The year is 1989 and deep in the sweltering heat of the Mayan jungle, camouflaged among the Inca ruins, Ernesto Cruz catches his breath for a few moments and admires his handiwork, bodies strewn across the temple ruins, as he makes a last gasp effort to board a DEA plane to take him to safety. He never made it home, the tragic victim of an alleged 'OVERDOSE'. Two weeks ago Ernesto's son, Ramiro Cruz is hauled out of jail by the DEA to be told his twin brother, Tommy, works for them as an undercover agent and has some new information about their father's death. But, Tommy has had an accident with a hand grenade and now Ramiro must take his brother's place in an undercover operation closing in on the ruthless drug cartel overlord Papa Muerte. Through stylized Mexican neighbourhoods and jungle hide-outs to the swanky Californian coast; Total Overdose is an over-the-top, adrenalin-fuelled, free-style action, 3rd person cinematic adventure with a strong whiff of tequila. Crash cars, steal hats, shoot bad guys with style, jump bikes, fight in the street, meet girls, shoot more bad guys, find your fathers killer, hot-wire tractors, eat Burritos, catch planes, drink tequila; the Mexican heat can make people do the strangest things.

brilliant game
Surprized they still not making this title today? Work art this game but once its completely done like most older games it makes you lose interest it does so how what copy not totally other games but I put this down as the game that got me playing them like max Payne as its not my type of game! This is a really fun game sounds are good can take you Deep into the story controls are good but you have to take awhile to learn the driving around and skills are available I would go into more depth but my review is off owning the game back when it came out then pulling it back out in 2011 am literally buying it again definitely say one of them titles that done the ps2 justice

GTA Lite..yes. Spicy Fun....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't take this game too seriously!Its a fun ride. It doesn't have the best gameplay, or the best graphics, and has a very derivative story, but it is great fun. The free-roaming aspect is always fun, fighting and missions are ok. Yes, there are glitches, and longish loading times, but these are not that bad.Play the game, enjoy the Latino vibe, have fun, and just chill, Amigo!!

Max payne goes to Mexico
Total overdose is a game of 2 halves, its funny very funny at times but theres just too many glitches to make the experiance as enjoyable as it could have been.The shooting with its Max Payne dives is done well, the combo system adds some spice to this tried and tested formula, but after you have completed 10 levels of this you have seen all the game has to offer. The driving sections are crap and as for the exploration, you have intrusive loading times every couple of minutes, i think we have been spoilt by GTA.Overall i think you will enjoy this game if you are looking for a mindless shoot em up with some funny story elements 7/10

hey, this is quite good!
I popped this game into my ps2 on sunday, not expecting much - but was surprised to find a quite good game there! sure, it's not GTA or Max Payne but nevertheless... it's good fun altogether. sure, the cars handle badly, but this together with the lack of a real map (blips on the radar really just aren't enough) are the only complaints I have right now. The missions are quite funny (I had a blast wiping out a drug plant, destroying first three smaller tanks and then tipping over the large one, all the while performing mad stunts and tricks in bullet-time). After completing this and bringing the drug dealer's car back to my boss, only to find him blowing the car up, all my character had to say was: "Man, I'm so glad I risked my life for that car!" LOL :-) ok, gotta go and play some more Total Overdose right now.
