HOW TO PLAY CHILI CON CARNAGE PSP

Having to kill in the most awesomely convoluted ways might sound like it'd slow things down to a more tactical level as you orchestrate everything perfectly, but the game never slows down from a breakneck pace because sprinting forward is the way to the highest scores. He's mad as hell and he'll take it for precisely as long as the story requires it! Having the player notice they're fighting someone with a sombrero and giddily change their plan to factor it in is genius, and the hat system would be my second favourite feature of the year if Total Overdose didn't already have it too. Blow off a bad guy's headgear and as it floats back down you can catch it on your own head for crazy points. Things are made a little more complex by little additions like hats. Surviving levels is rarely much of a challenge, the real game's in seeing how much of a score you can rack up with the limited amount of bad guys in your way.ДЄn example of how Chili Con Carnage plays is you ignoring the wannabe desperado shooting at you, getting into a nearby car, driving it at him and then leaping out at the last minute to perform a point blank diving headshot. There are dozens of actions within the game's limited control scheme that are worth points, from headshots to shootdodging to sending someone flying with the grenade launcher, and it doesn't take much ingenuity to combine them into completely mental stunts.

It's all about combos, in the same way a Tony Hawk's game is all about combos. It's all light stuff to keep you smiling and shooting, which is great because we like smiling and, most importantly, Chili Con Carnage's shooting is pretty good. Ram's high-octane, gun slinging quest for revenge is finished by level three, but fortunately for us he immediately spots a nearby piece of paper that tells him there's a reward available for blowing up (it's creepily specific about this) a nearby crime boss. From there Ram starts his high-octane, gun slinging quest for revenge. Can anybody stop Ramiro Cruz and his twin FREAKISH LEGS?ДЄs for the plot, the powerful and heart-wrenching narrative kicks off when freewheeling loose cannon Ramiro 'Ram' Cruz gives his father a box of kittens as a birthday present, only for a combine harvester to crash through the wall and crush both the old man and his kittens. Then again we've never been to Mexico, so there's every chance this is really a gritty simulation and Mexicans really do spend all their time shooting each other with guns hidden in guitar cases and backflipping off walls. It's a fun and totally unique combination of slapstick, stereotypes and style, and whether you love or hate the braindead humour it's never shoved in your face in a way that could mean it makes or wrecks the game. The setting's the same a brightly coloured comedy B-movie vision of Mexico where your character quips 'You've eaten your last burrito, pal!' before blasting open a dude's skull from 100 paces.

Let me explain.Д¬hili Con Carnage is a PSP third-person shooter and re-imagining of Total Overdose, 2005's bizarre Tex-Mex Max Payne. Bullet point number four comes close with 'Super cool beats - Experience a super hot Mexican underground through bleeding-edge, hip-hop music tracks from Control Machete, Molotov and Delinquent Habit', but that misses the most important part- what the music does. But what's weird is this feature doesn't even appear on the eight point list on the back of the box.

Screw Rainbow Six Vegas's co-op and Godhand's difficulty. Screw Okami's paintbrush, Final Fantasy XII's gambits and Supreme Commander's scale. I never thought a PSP third person shooter would have my favourite feature of the year so far.
