A surprise in both the good and the bad sense.

User Rating: 7.2 | Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico PS2
Upon launching the game, I was presented with a very bare-bones interface and was not expecting much. After the first couple introductory missions and finally learning what a "spicy move" is, this game turned out to be pretty enjoyable. The game has quite a few bugs in the terms of clipping and hit detection with both the enemies and the environments. Also, the graphics and overal presentation are not very inspiring.

For the good news, the game is fun. The shooting is competant and so is the overall structure of the game. It is slightly open ended, but not like GTA or True Crime, though you can drive and run around the world between missions. The shooting is on par with max payne, though at times it feels like Dead To Rights 2 which isn't bad, just too easy. The game is pretty fun and the speech is funny for the most parts.

The developers were looking to make a cross of several genres to make an entertaining game and they succeeded for the most part. This game is just above average in terms of technicalities, but is still pretty enjoyable to play even with all the flaws.
