Inspired by PS2 title Total Overdose, this story of revenge on mexican gangsters arrives on PSP in a way much intense and fast version, with a gameplay system directly taken from Max Payne (I dive in slow motion and shoot everyone like I am Chow Yun Fat himself !), boosted by various vehicles, crazy sense of humor, rewind option when you die and, most important, a genuine plate-form side (you'll have to grab and jump on crates to get on a boat, for instance) saving the game from monotony.
