TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 2000-COURSE ARCHITECT. THE LOST FILES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES 1-THE CASE OF THE SERRATED SCALPEL. Moves are named the cheesiest things possible, like "Gringo loco!" and the oft-repeated "Spicy move!" In fact, you'll hear the words "spicy move" so often throughout the game that after a while a small piece of you will die inside every time it's uttered. It's a neat system, but it's hindered by the most obnoxious aspect of the game, which (oddly enough) is the naming system for said moves. These moves all play into a points rating that judges the different maneuvers you pull off and earns you points you'll need to complete missions. Like Max Payne, Ramiro can shoot-dodge in bullet time while pumping tons of rounds into bad guys within a split second's time, all the while bouncing off walls and spinning around like a man possessed. There isn't a kilo of realism to be found anywhere in this game.a fact flaunted at every opportunity by the insane acrobatic moves Ramiro can pull off for seemingly no reason other than because they're fun. What makes Total Overdose more than just another dull shoot-'em-up is the ludicrousness of its action. But that suits the game just fine, since you'll be too busy killing everybody to bother caring about them. What little storyline exists here is largely turned irrelevant by the incredibly cheesy voice acting and writing, so there's no real opportunity to care about any of these people. The plot here is merely a vehicle for you to get out and start shooting things. About a billion bullets, bodies, and busts later, you're dealing with crooked DEA agents, big-time drug deals, and a revenge plot about who really killed Ramiro's former-DEA-agent father. In a twist that plays like a vaquero movie version of the Anthony Hopkins/Chris Rock vehicle Bad Company, Ramiro is brought in to replace his brother so he can get in with the shady dealers. Ramiro's twin is injured while working undercover, right as he's about to get in with some rather powerful drug lords down in Mexico. Ramiro Cruz is an ex-convict and all-around screwup.
The story of Total Overdose is cut from the kind of heavy-on-the-gunplay, light-on-the-drama cloth made famous in 1980s-era action films.
