I have this game, the third game's story sucked though since it went from this third world country gangster shootouts to this deep edgy wannabe noir on New York and made Ouchie seem dumb because his english isn't the greatest
One thing you didn’t mentioned: if you headshot someone, their hat goes up in the air and slowly descends , and if you go right under it, you can equip it for a little while
@@rickythomas9698 Johnny Nero Action Hero is a 2004 Play Mechanix light gun shooter starring Johnny Nero, a comic book hero, shooting alien empire in a spaceship, cursed mummies in a Egyptian dungeon, and zombies/ghosts in the Wild West village.
Despite how weird this game is, it is absolutely legendary where I grew up. No one my age could say they've played open world games without playing Total Overdose. It'll always have a special place in my heart.
Gman:"The open world is a barren lifeless and completely lawless wasteland that's completely cut off from civilized society." So in other words it's your average Mexican city.
I was actually a beta tester on this game way back when. I remember then being annoyed that Prince of Persia beat them to the punch with the time-reverse mechanic as it was already in the game from an early stage xD
You spoke about not recognizing voice actors, but one of the voices in the first few minutes sounded super familiar... Edit: Oh, it was the grandad from Ben 10. Damn that brings back memories. His name is Paul Eiding and he's been in a fair few games.
One of the most underrated games ever. Despite its flaws it always gets me in a good mood whenever I play it. I always keep it installed on my pc, so sad the sequel they planned never came out.
@@Trakesh Awesome bosses; much like Hulk-like sheriff in Johnny Nero Action Hero 2004 arcade shooter in Ghost Town comic, this had Wilson Fisk with a mustache named Cesar Morales.
I'm pretty sure I remember there being a feature in the game where you could shoot people on the head, and wear their Hats while they slowly fall down to ground
Modern day americans: This game is offensive to the mexicans. Mexicans: Ta chido el juego, parte de mi infancia, todavia escucho los temas cuando voy en el carro. Segunda parte cuando, wey?
Ya que no vendio lo suficiente, dudo que algun dia veremos la segunda parte. Y eso que la historia apuntaba a una segunda parte, pues habia que derrotar a papá muerte, el narco detras de todos los eventos del juego.
@@weirdautumn well technically it's not a sequel, it's more like a "what if" retelling the original, though it's still worth playing since the plot (and most of the levels) are different
@@TheSaltyGaben I loved the original when it came out but always thought Chilli con Carnage was a just a downgraded port with an alternative title from another country or distributor. I’m giving it a try this weekend
I remember playing that and never beat it because I was stuck and if I turned my psp off i would have to start over, I didn’t have a memory stick too save lol
Ha! I immediately thought about No More Heroes once he started talking about the mission structure and the mundane "slice-of-life" jobs you gotta do in-between. The crazy power-ups are very NMH-like, too. I wonder if Suda played this.
This game is amazing & it's insane that it's not more well known. GTA + Max Payne + a Bulletstorm-style point system way before Bulletstorm even existed makes it not just really fun, but also compellingly unique.
Small add-on: this is one of the HD OG Xbox games and it looks absolutely fantastic. On the flip side, it's one of those games from that time where the pre-rendered cutscenes look like garbage compared to the actual game itself.
@@n64thstreet Cesar is Wilson Fisk in a yellow suit with a mustache and hair; Warthog Games was going to develop a Punisher game where the title character battles against Wilson Fisk "Kingpin" as well as Jigsaw, but the project moved to Deadline Games and became this, while Warthog's Xbox project based on Vin Diesel's film xXx got cancelled after the skydiving demo was made.
@@Miraihi unfortunately there is no video game company that wants to buy the IP to remake it the owner of this game was DEAD LINE STUDIOS and this company closed in 2009 for unknown reasons
"Victorian assault rifle" Well, there was the Venturi air rifle. Think buffalo rifle, but it used user compressed air and was a repeating arm. And it existed in the 1840s. So before metal cases with integrated percussion primers were widespread.
@@GunDownEr Punisher Mexican Style comic book tone in contrast to edgy Punisher game by Volition (Red Faction and Saints Row) based on the mediocre 2004 film starring Thomas Jane.
@@masterzoroark6664 Johnny Nero Action Hero 2004 light gun shooter from ICE??? It took 1 token for standard 1-player or 2 tokens for 2-players or akimbo mode at Chuck E. Cheese.
Hah, I immediately thought of this game when I watched your Wet review and now you're reviewing it, I used to love playing this game on the PS2 when I was a kid.
I played a bunch of tps games from this era and for some reason I have fond memories from all of them. Total Overdose, El Matador, Made Man, Infernal, The Thing, Stranglehold, The Punisher, Freedom Fighters, The Suffering and so many more. This game and True Crime L.A were some of the most over the top things I've ever gotten a chance to play, and I love them for it.
Hearing it described as "a combination of Max Payne and Grand Theft Auto directed by Robert Rodriguez" is enough to make me want to play it, no matter how bad it actually is.
Few things I remember from this game are: Shooting was really fun. Car physics were terrible. The music was made from loops that changed dynamically with combat - that blew my mind back then. The cutscenes were inexplicably played back from video files, even though it all seemed to be a raw capture from the game anyway. Time rewinding felt like an amazing technical achievement. ...
Had so much fun with this crazy game back in the days, even had the phone ringtone set to Total Overdose 'Return of the Tres' sountrack. Ah teenage memories :))
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 welp, whatever it was the gameplay was similar (except no open world) and the story was different - still lots of silly humor tho
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 Not really a demake. You got definitly more the juicy gun-gameplay then the boring open world stuff which improved the game somehow.
At 15:56 there was a glitch that allowed you to have these rampages undead as your allies which can be useful for doing other story mode mission and stuff (It even works out with a savefile)
I played this back in the day. It had some really fun touches to it. Like how you can open the car door to bash people with it instead of diving out, being able to shoot at two targets independently while dual wielding. and if you shoot hats off of enemies you can catch them on your head before they hit the ground to wear them. Also, that train level at the end was pretty fucking good.
Return of the Tres by Delinquent Habits is the main menu song if anyone's wondering. Great song and yes, it gets stuck pretty easly. For me, I still remembered the menu song even after 13 years since I last played the game
One of my favorte games ever, I have played in non-stop on my PS2 back in the days! It was funny, the action was amazing and I loved the Mexico setting!
I must’ve had a rare childhood because a lot of these games I’ve played and beaten 😂 blockbusters once a week was better than gamepass, steam and hog combined
Finally! Been requesting this one for literally years. Going to keep the requests rolling because why not: Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy Brute Force Headhunters X Squad Syphon Filter series Dead to Rights
That song from the menu will forever pop up in my head every now and then. This, the Tetris songs, Some Zelda songs, the main theme of Cave Story, the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory entire soundtrack by Amon Tobin, and the music of Hitman 2 (the old one) and Freedom Fighters by Jesper Kyd. I'm sure there's a few I'm not thinking of right now. Just as much as how sure I am they'll pop up in my head soon enough.
total overdose is amazing it is not the least like you say and also it has no glitches in the overall gameplay and also chili con carnage is not a sequel only the characters in both the game have same looks and appearance but they have got a whole lot of different roles and jobs
only thing i really remember about his game was the golden gun and the bonus points you could get from catching a sombrero on your head after shooting off an enemy
Good choice, I emulated it on pcsx2 since i didn't know it had a pc port and dear god are the missions painful and the open world trash. Still had loads of fun but def not as good as I remember even when comparing it to games of that time.
This game would bring all of my siblings together.We screamed and fought but this game just brought all of us together. Man was this was a fun game........what nostalgia ....
Careful what you wish for. A game like this getting a remake would probably turn into just another gritty reboot that takes out all the cheesy humor of the original.
I dont know why gman is shitting all over the game in the most of section of the video.I honestly kinda hate his review for this reason.But man I enjoyed this game so much.And honestly thought the story of this game wasnt really bad and it actually made me wanted to complete the game.I mean after total overdose no devs have ever made a gta+maxpayne style action game which really says alot about todays games industry.Also you complaining they took inspiration from gta is totally fine because whynt and you saying gta do those stunt missions better is wrong.Early gta games stunt mission of gta vice city and san andreas are so frustrating and bad.I think you are just being a gta fanboy at this point.Even I also like those games too.I think you are wrong it is amazing and memorable.
Feel like its because maybe he is used to some other games like the gta franchise or max payne idk...this was my childhood and one of the very kind of 3rd person shooter games I used to enjoy, and I still love it
@@Memories_broken_ Yep he is totally biased in this whole video.I have played vice city and san andreas first and then I played this game later.And I have to say I actually enjoyed this game alot.But the video he made about this game sounded like he is just telling it is a ripoff shtty game dont play it.
I loved this game back in the day, I actually got it on my 11th birthday and I use to sit and listen to The Game and 50 Cent CDs in my room while playing this. And I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that title theme slaps.
I really like how the whole time he's doing his totally sick wall move, there's a repeated sprays of blood coming from the bullets smacking into his groin.
I dunno man I never had any of these weapon inaccuracies you've mentioned, I actually liked that getting headshoots requires a bit of a skill by holding down the RMB for a second as opposed to just point and click to someones head, it's not rocket science.
Rocket launchers on enemies as a difficulty increase. Gives me flashbacks from the "Capture the Secret German Treasure" campaign in Medal of Honor. There were no saves mid-level and shreks would shoot at you from behind the render distance. And if you ate a rocket, you died instantly
Idk what to tell you man. This game got everything anyone needs. Wall climbing matrix gun bonanza, forklift certified man, bimbos with bazookas, a choo choo, and chickens that you can cook with BULLETS
Not gonna lie, this is still one of the most memorable Shooter I played since I was a kid…. 9yr old me thought it was the most gansta shit ever I’ve seen..
Fuckin' Hell, all these years later and Total Overdose is still a one of a kind Third-Person Shooter, and certainly one of the best Max Payne Knock-Off's there is! Absolutely sucks that the cancelled sequel would have taken place in a condensed open world Mexico. As in the entire Country. All of it. Granted, it would have entire Eco-systems and capital cities next door to each other and it would have run like ass if it did launch for the 360/PS3 era but I can only imagine how more bat-shit crazy it could have been!
