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.

You can also dig up special attack icons from your surroundings. The Golden Gun powerup makes your next four shots instant kills, the El Mariachi weapon equips you with a pair of high-powered machine guns hidden inside guitar cases, and the Going Loco attack makes Ramiro go crazy with a pair of submachineguns, killing everything -- people, chickens, cars, buildings, whatever – in the area.Check the full Total Overdose preview (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=25981) over at WorthPlaying.

I love how this looks! Can't wait to see if it pans out in practice.

haha, just watched the trailer over at gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/overdose/media.html) and it looks great, the bottom screenshots on that worthplaying article show some of the comedy pop up bonus text and combos in action.

I imagine the game being like the times on GTA when you just run around causing mayhem but to the power of 10 and high on some kind of drain cleaner...
