GETTING STARTED*

CONTROLLER

 

DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller

 

configurations

*Note: Illustration may not match all PlayStation 2 console types. For owners of SCPH-70000 series PlayStation 2 systems, refer to the setup instructions supplied with your system.

Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located on the back of the console) is turned ON. Press the RESET button.

When the power indicator lights up, press the OPEN button and the disc tray will open. Place the TOTAL OVERDOSE disc on the disc tray

with the label side facing up. Press the OPEN button again and the disc tray will close.

Attach game controllers and other peripherals, as appropriate. Follow onscreen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software.

Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)

To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 before powering on the console.

At least 720KB of free space on the memory card is required to save game data.

This game supports saving (and loading) game data in MEMORY CARD slot 1 only. You can load saved game data from the same memory card or from any memory card containing previously saved TOTAL OVERDOSE games.

To ensure that another player’s game doesn’t overwrite your data,

we recommend that each player save game data to a separate memory card.

Connect the DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller to controller port 1 before starting play.

When the vibration function is ON, the controller will vibrate in response to game events.

You can reconfigure the default controls and toggle the vibration function ON/OFF in Options mode (page 8).

D-E-A ... OR D-E-A-D?

“Hey Ramolito! You’ve always been the black sheep of our family, but now you’re in it up to your neck, looking at a life stretch in the state pen! They’re gonna throw away the keys, hombre! I don’t want to hear your excuses, save that for the judge — but as your twin brother I’m gonna throw you a line!

“You know as well as I do that the

drug cartels are taking over Southern LA and most of Mexico, poisoning both nations and dragging more and more people into a life of crime. Hard drugs, guns and gang violence are the day-to-day currency and only the drug lords ever seem to win. I know it might seem crazy, but with me out of action, my buddies in the DEA need someone to play my part

in the big picture.... Before you flip me off, hear me out. If you won’t do this for yourself, maybe do it for papa’s memory....

“The story goes that he died of an overdose on the backstreets of Los Toros, Mexico. But something doesn’t add up. If he OD’d, it was a damn long fall from a curb that caused his injuries. But yet the flatheads

at the DEA seemed to write him off all too quickly as an overworked and strung-out cop who couldn’t handle the pressure.

“He was a damn good agent. He gave his life to the forces of law and order and I have one helluva hunch that he’d penetrated deep into the cartel’s organization before his cover was compromised — by a traitor, someone on the inside at the DEA. If you get involved maybe we can clear papa’s name and blow the whole cartel wide open, taking out the drug lords in the process.

“Since you’re not officially playing for our side, you don’t need to follow the rules! Just make sure you’re good enough to go up against these bad asses before you run in all guns blazing. These banditos aren’t playing to lose and they will bury anyone who crosses them.

“Did I mention that you can get all the training you need at the Pistoleros Asociados in downtown Los Toros, just south of the border? I’d started infiltrating the cartel when I got taken out by that grenade, so just carry on from where I left off and use any means necessary to take these scumbag pendejos out of the equation.

“So, are you with us? I hope so, hombre, I hope so.”
