Total Overdose (GKY's game) first impressions on Eurogamer

Post by **Eraser** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 8:53 am

In general it's light on the wow factor that enhanced texture detail and lighting or particle effects would have given it, but don't be put off by your initial impressions. The Mexican flavour gives it something relatively unique, and we'd rather leave our graphical snobbery at the door to play something as fresh and action-centric as Total Overdose.

It appears to be a shooting game to be, but maybe i am reading the wrong article.

I always thought from the title it would be about a guy overdosing on Australian First People Cock.

Why is the Star Trek nerd firing orange paintballs at Captain Blue?

Post by **o'dium** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:03 pm

Nah, the game itself looks great, I'll probably pick it up for xbox or pc. Not ps2, because ps2 is shite dont ya know :P

Post by **shadd_** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:08 pm

so are the xbox and pc versions pretty much the same or do they differ quite a bit?

also graphics wise will the pc version be better?

Post by **o'dium** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:11 pm

I dont think it will be a GTA:SA type "better", but i'm sure the xbox will have improved frame rates and load times and the PC version will obviously give at least better resolution.

Post by **shadd_** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:16 pm

yeah the graphics are not the best looking. the gameplay, and physics seem to make up for it easily enough though.

i was just curious about graphics details rather than just higher res.

Post by **GONNAFISTYA** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:21 pm

All versions will play and look the same...and they'll all be released at the same time. Also...load times on all platforms is fairly quick.

As to the PS2...it has the BEST CONTROLLER on the planet. The X-Box controller has too long a throw for the triggers and even with the improved design still feel clunky...and the Gamecube controller looks, feels and plays like shit.

I miss the N64 controller.
