Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} Take ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'', combine it with ''[[Max Payne (~~Video Game~~series)\|Max Payne]]'', add in a ton of action movie tropes and Mexican stereotypes, and you pretty much have [['''Total Overdose]]'''. The game might not be original, but it sure is funny as hell. The plot involves the DEA, some Mexican gangsters, and drugs. [[Wiki Magic\|Fill it out]] if you want but who cares about the plot, anyway? We're here to blow up cocaine burrito stands! Line 6: Total Overdose was created in 2005 by the Danish game company [[Deadline Games]]. A slightly more linear version was released for the PSP the next year, called ''Chili Con Carnage''. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ * [[Badass Spaniard]]~~--er~~—er, Mexican▼ ~~Tropes used:~~ ▲* [[Badass Spaniard]]--er, Mexican * [[Bullet Time]] * [[Car Fu]]: ~~(you~~You can do a [[Bullet Time]]-style [[Leap and Fire\|dive]] out of a car before it crashes into something.) * [[Casual Danger Dialog]] * [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Plenty in cutscenes, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D_PMDc5cc0 even the opening]: Ram sorting through weapons in the back of a pickup truck outside a drug farm where gangsters are loading up huge blocks of product. He kicks open the gate, carrying every single weapon in the game piled up in his arms (parodying the [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]), exchanges glances with everyone in the compound (including the chicken), spits out a stick of dynamite, drops all weapons except dual sawed-off shotguns, then opens ~~fire -- cue~~fire—cue [[Crowning Music of Awesome\|Molotov's "Que no te haga bobo jacobo"]]. ** When breaking into the Vergilios to make a truce with them after gunning down hundreds over the first half of the game, and blasting dozens more on the way in, Ram slides down a zip line, with the opportunity to score triple head-shots on the way, and falls ass-first through a skylight onto a table surrounded by the gang's lieutenants, who immediately turn their guns on him. {{quote\| '''Ram''': ''Gentlemen...I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse!"}} * [[Exploding Barrels]] / [[Made of Explodium]] Above average amount of exploding scenery for a shooter/driver, and every car becomes explosive on contact after diving from it * [[Evil Twin]]: Ram is more accurately the [[Heroic Sociopath]] Twin, but still... * [[Follow the Leader]]: (Gameplay-wise, anyway.) * [[Guns Akimbo]]: (You can dual wield almost ''anything'' after a while.) * [[Heroic Sociopath]]/[[Karma Houdini]]: (Ram gleefully commits every crime in the book without consequence.) * [[Impressive Pyrotechnics]] * [[Leap and Fire]] * [[Revolvers Are Just Better]] * [[Rule of Cool\|Rules Of Cool]] And [[Rule of Funny\|Funny]] * [[Sawed -Off Shotgun]] * [[Senseless Violins]]: (The El Mariachi Loco Move). * [[Shout -Out]]: (The El Mariachi Loco Move is a rather obvious shout out to well...
