  1. Cheap AI, lame graphics, dull gameplay. It's all there for the suffering.
  2. A nice looking, functional 3rd person action shooter. But the similarities with existing and even classic titles, plus a lack of any real innovation at all hardly makes Total Overdose stand out a mile for the more experienced gamer.

    Not the best looking game, but loads of fun to play. As said in other reviews, a nice blend of Max Payne and GTA. I like it a lot!

    Excellent, fun and unpretentious shooter action.
