Total Overdose (2005) Is Absolutely Insane
Vložit

- Total Overdose is like a Grand Theft Auto game set in Mexico with shooting like Max Payne, driving like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and rewinding like Prince of Persia. It's a neat game that is totally insane.

YES! FINALLY!
your commitment to this game made it in the final video haha
Ggs
Was it everything you hoped for and more?
Vincent ! We happy ?
lolololol W
This game had real "on a tv in the background of a show" vibes
Nah, this game is peak.
@@AlfredFJones1776 These two statements are true at the same time
I can easily imagine Jesse Pinkman messing with it
The game advertised in a tv show😂
Remember when getaway black Monday was in superbad
As a Mexican man, this game isn't racist at all. It feels very much like a love letter to Mexican culture and media. I love it and the representation that Ram is also a 1st-2nd Gen Mexican-American. Don't see that much outside of Blue Beetle lol. Ima pick up the game now from this review and those facts alone
White people can't help but feel bad for other people for no reason.
I loved this game when it came out. I miss the days of games like this coming out, the PS2 era was full of games that weren’t perfect but were just a fucking good time.
I miss games that were just senseless fun
@@MrHammersindeed they were full soul and passion
Ps2 games had the golden balance between technical fidelity and creative freedom
@@Lagom0rph I think the PS3/360 generation in the early days really hit that golden balance, but later on in the generation we started seeing the " lazy AAA slop" trend starting.
The gaming industry fell when corporate suits thought they should be directly involved with the direction and development of games, instead of merely funding the game and providing resources like they used to. But hey, we always have indie games, which continue to be great and creative and fun :)
@@fearlesswee5036 now that you mention it, you're probably right, 360/ps3 was peak balance. It's sad to see how the games industry ended up.
This game is really nostalgic to me. Its theme song is a certified hood classic and a banger
This is one of those games that suddenly "clicks" when you realise you're overthinking everything. For me it was getting upset at running out of ammo until I noticed all the Loco moves I'd just been hoarding. For my friend it was picking up a spinning collectible while doing a stunt jump. Glad to see a retrospective on it.
Yeah for sure, you gotta treat it like an arcade game. Use what u got and have a good time
Just today I was listening to Molotov and Delinquent Habits, reminiscing about this game's killer soundtrack.
I miss this era of gaming so much. We got so many unique games that had tons of charm.
MrHammers, you should do a video on some Twisted Metal games!
This is such a childhood classic, holy damn! The music, the "saturday morning cartoon GTA" vibes, the absolutely crazy loco moves, everything was so over the top in such an endearing way.
Great video! I instantly recognized the OST from Ace Combat Zero in the background, one of my favorites from the PS2 era!
Good ear!
loved this game. till today I reminisce with my brother and say "SPICY MOVE" when we do something crazy in a game
It’s just something about the PS2 era of gaming no other era of gaming can capture. The PS2 was truly a game changer, also I have to mention you can tell they put love in alot more of the games during this era. So many gems!🔥
I think the PS2/Xbox/GameCube era was truly the best period of gaming
I completely understand that
Thanks for covering this, I thought that everyone forgot this game and I spent hours on it
Such a unique game
This and the psp port chile con carnage was hidden gems
The PSP one was a strange reboot even crazier than the original and with a more aracade vibe in its gameplay, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the original Total Overdose 😆
HOLY SHIT CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED
i spent so much time in this game as a kid! absolutely loved it! the style, the music, the gameplay! perfection
yeah i know the open world is empty and all that, but i just love that little world they created, i used to really like just driving around causing havock, it's not super well implemented but it's a feature and i was sad when i found out that it was inexistent in the psp version...........man i love this game.
Channels like yours and games like this make recall fond memories of my time growing as a kid. I had parents that were not anti gaming, which was cool as hell. The amount of different ideas themes and art styles I was exposed to and fun times I had is pretty astounding to me looking back on it, unironically gaming has influenced my life a lot.
I played this game once when my friend brought it over to my house and man, it stuck with me forever. This game was beautifully chaotic
I remember playing this game's demo as a kid on a computer that struggled to run even the calculator
So glad to see this channel grow keep it coming. These are much needed nostalgia hits!
Appreciate ya my man
I frickin love this game. I've played so much of it when it came out. I remember messing around with the rocketlauncher, when I caused a traffic jam, waiting for 4-5 cars to stand in line, then shootdodge and time my rocket perfectly to just fly through the glass, then hitting the last car and cause a chain of explosions... Man, what beautiful memories :D
People need to know Mexican people(me and all I know) love the stereotype in games and media
You made break out my OG Xbox to play this game and it's still fun to play after all these years 👍 so thank you
This was a awesome game as a kid.needa replay it again
keep going my man, appreciate your videos alot
Thank you bro, appreciate the love
Thank you so much for covering this game! I have nostalgia for this game because I use to play the demo as a kid back when demo disks were a thing, and I liked the game, but never knew the name of it, and thanks to you, now I do, and I went ahead and bought it so I can experience the full game finally. 😊
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE NAME OF THIS GAME FOR LIKE 13 YEARS, THANK YOU SO MUCH
This game gives off "What GTA San Andreas look like off your childhood memories" vibes. I love it.
The world was robbed of perfection with the Cancellation of Total Overdose 2 and Faith and a .45 D:
Absolute banger of a game that still rocks despite it's shortcomings, I mean despite it's lackluster selection of cars and it's pitifully empty open-world it still had undeniable style that got my teenage ass into Mexican Rap for a brief stint. And Sheesh, has it really been nearly 20 years since this came out? I recall renting this from my local Rogers like it was yesterday!
I legitimately get happy when I see you upload new vids! Keep it going Hammers🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate ya my dude!
I remember this game pretty well. I was rarely allowed to buy new games (except for when it was my birthday or for christmas) so i rented most of the newer titles from my local video store. I remember absolutely loving and even re-renting Destroy all humans, hitman blood money and this game a bunch of times. Which was pretty wild since i was only allowed to rent one game per week so the choice was something new or retry something i already played, and that rarely happened.
I still wonder how tequila gunrise wouldve played and looked like with all the newer consoles out , and i also wish this game had a remake or some mods for newer pcs
I think it would've been sick in the next gen of gaming, probably similar to Max Payne 3 in aesthetics
God I love it when MrHammers drops
Deadline games were well known in Denmark at the time. I swear every school and library had their globetrotter games.
Also their game blackout was.. Amazing. It's impossible to find now sadly. But was a story driven stop motion game, very story heavy game.
On that note. I’d like you to try out “Stranglehold”, from what I remember it’s another “Max Pain” like game
It is! It's a great game
I like the guacamelee theme:)
Goated OST
TOD was one of the first games that I played on my Dad’s pc. That was the start and now we are here
Guacamelee music really ties this review together.
Remember getting this when I was a kid saw an advert with dual guitar case guns and I instantly had to have it
I was just replaying the game recently, then I looked up if someone ever made a retrospect of it. Surprise surprise, there is. The game feels so underrated to me since I don’t hear many people talking about it.. or maybe just me lmao
Oh and you can also collect more stamina, health and weapon skill collectibles when reaching certain amounts of points (up to 500k only, I think).
When you get around 60/70/80/90/100 weapon skill collectibles, you get infinite hand grenades, pistol ammo, sawn-off, grenade and rocket launchers, which is what I love about it
Oh nice! So grinding for the points is worth it in the long run I see
@@MrHammers It does end up being useless after reaching 500k though. Points are kind of just extra rewards for the collectibles
"HÚRACAN!!!"
Very good gunplay, excellent soundtrack, atrocious driving. Love it 😁
This game still looks great in hd on a original xbox classic
The nostalgia is hitting hard with this one❤
Damn this is a blast from the past was a blast this game
It's one of my favorite games I played when I was like 7 or 8 years old
Hey, nice video dude, the as you say about the headshot mechanics of the game to be a mini game, that is what the core gameplay is supposed to be, that is why the bullet time is there, and low ammo reserve, and the game encourages this gameplay style by making enemies bullet spounges if you don't use the headshots, plus if you use headshots you get more score.
Oh dammmn, I remember playing this game and really loving it. But I forgot it's name so I could never replay it. Thank you for the video
After enough global points, you are granted extra ammo reserves then eventually infinite ammo for your weapons.
My childhood favourite game 🎮🎯❤. Still playing the game ❤❤❤
this is my childhood game and I will always love it
There's this and there's "TORRENTE" too. How much of these surprisingly underrated GTA cash ins that existed at the time?
Dozens, at least. Not sure how many of them are "underrated," though.
Finally, someone covering this game!
Now do Armed & Dangerous!
Total overdose is the story of my life
Somehow I just knew you would get around to this one!
Like yourself I was surprised I missed this one, as I took pride in savoring virtually every violent action game known to man. You did it justice with a quite fair review, it's a good time & guilty pleasure for a AA 6th gen game!
I bought a clean complete original Xbox copy of it, as I love fun games like this!
It's definitely a fun game that doesn't take itself too serious and allows you to just hop in for a good time
IVE BEEN LOOKING FIR THIS GAME FOR 14 YEARS i played it for the first time at at 6 ans now i can at age 20 :) i remembered the guitar case guns i never knew the name. You sir are a 🐐
I was just thinking about this game but all i could remember was that it was on a demo disc i had years ago!
My childhood game! YEY!
I downloaded the iso for my modded ps2 and fell in love with this game
El Matador is also nuts. I would recommend it if you like this kind of game.
Ooo haven't heard of that one. Thanks!
I happened to really enjoy the watchmen game as a kid, was one of the first games I replayed when I got a gaming PC back in 2020.
my whole childhood summed up to school food and TOD 😆its nostalgic
This channel has single handedly, made me want to go back and dust off my ps2 collection. Please keep this content up Mr Hammers 🙏🏾👌🏾
Hell yeah!!! Lets goooo
Always wanted to play this back in the day
this game was real fun, i was caught by surprise by it on PC
Certified Classic
this game bring me back such good memories
HOLY SHIT THIS TAKES ME WAYYYY BACKKKK🤯🤯🤯
Props for the guacamelee music
I remember getting this off a cd magazine you could buy as a demo version and it was soo fun xD Never even knew the name of it until this popped up. Amazing game for its time for sure
I liked to call this one "Mex Payne"
I've got this game on my laptop, friggin love it!
I played the demo for this game soooooo much back in the day. I think this was on the same demo disk with the original destroy all humans as well
Man, this seems like a game I would've *loved* as a kid! I wish I'd heard about it when it came out.
Go play now!!!
ok ok you sold me i'll buy it :D
this was a pretty fun game when i was younger
NO WAY MY CHILDHOOD GAME I FINALLY FOUND IT!
I loved this game when I was a kid, I never owned it but I would play it everytime I went over to my cousins house. I used to boot it up just to hear the theme song. 😂
I remember renting this game from a dvd lady that drove a van around good times
0:48 i remember seeing this game as a kid on the stores but, ive never played it nor looked into it.
This game needs to be on steam!
top 5 childhood game for sure
Lovd this game.
I actually only played it for the first time like 3 years ago, and it held up.
I still have the original PC discs for this game from back then!
I love this game hands down best hidden gem !!!
I miss this playing this game use to be so insane
Bro I played a demo of this game back in the day but never owned it and I’ve been trying to remember the name of it since forever
Okay Mr. Hammers. My next comment crusade begins.
“Geist is absolutely insane.”
I'll see you in 2 years 🤣
It might be dumb, but damn, I miss seeing these polygones.
This was amazing !!!!!
Chilli Con Carnage is an absolute gem
26:54 - 27:19
Guess I'm smart enough back then as a kid for
Destroying the turret with the good ol' Golden Gun
Like all you had to do was
- activate Golden Gun before riding the dirtbike
- get close to that turret and shoot it. Damage was that broken, took either 2 or 3 shots
My first thought was "What if I use the Golden Gun since it kill enemy faster and cannot be swap until there no bullet left"
That's pretty genius
In case someone is wanting the name of the title track for Total Overdose, it's Return of The Tres by Delinquent Habits.
I think the competency of the first, speaks to how original projects can excel before Expectations, Budgets, Egos or Projections get involved with a game project.
This game was my childhood
This really needs a remaster
Damn this game was rad. Only got to play it for a short time back when gamefly had that thing where the had random PC games you could play if you used their services
The hottest 3rd person shooter ever!
Spicy move!
