Total overdose demo6/11/2023 That is, until I picked up the full game - and I'm so glad that I decided to give it a chance, because it remains one of my fondest gaming memories. ![]() At first, I was still infatuated with what Rockstar Games had done for open-world games of a similar nature, so while Total Overdose was fun while it lasted, I never paid much attention to it. My first brush with Total Overdose was a PC demo that had protagonist Ramiro "Ram" Cruz fill in as a double for his DEA undercover agent twin brother, taking on a drug cartel on an isolated farm filled with thugs, exploding chickens, and more explosions than Michael Bay knows what to do with. Today, let's revisit one of the most underrated, loco gems of the past. Forgetting the likes of the True Crime games or Yakuza managing to leave a mark entirely in its own league, one that always stood out for me was Deadline Games' Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico. In an era when Grand Theft Auto set the new standard for chaotic third-person open world video games, very few managed to stand out in that crowded market of the early-to-mid 2000s.
