Over the weekend, while waiting for my copy of Resident Evil 4 to arrive, I installed this game called Total Overdose (2005) - a third person action title set in South America.
Although the whole game plays like a Grand Theft Auto clone, the developers were also clearly inspired by the "El Mariachi trilogy" of movies directed by Robert Rodriguez - El Mariachi (1992) , Desperado (1995) and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003). Guitar case machine guns included. In addition, this game also adds a bullet time from Max Payne (2001) as well as the reverse time feature from the Prince of Persia series. So expect some outrageous action.
Another cool feature in this game which should be included in every free-roaming title is the ability to skip the process of traveling to the next mission. Although the downside of this would be the reduced gameplay time of an already short game. Like all free-roaming titles, the player is free to do whatever he or she wants even after the main story has been completed. However, the side-missions do get repetitive after a while.
In short, this a good game for fans of 80's action films and Grand Theft Auto.
