The more stylish and outrageous the kill, the more points you earn and the better your bonus multiplyer becomes. Not extravagant enough for you? How about running up a wall, back-flipping and taking down half a dozen enemies with head-shots? In Chili Con Carnage it's not so much the number of kills you make (although carnage is quite literally the name of the game, so the more the merrier), it's more the way in which you do them.
Rather than plugging a moustachioed mercenary with a single shot - that's too easy and too boring - Ram can jump off the ground, pirouette in mid-air and pop caps in the nearest bad guy before landing back on his feet. Thing is, Ram is a t-shirt-wearing terminator whose bullet-time combos can cut down an entire army of gringos in the blink of an eye. Armed only with a pistol, you'd be forgiven for thinking the one-sided battle would be over quickly.
The killing spree is turbo-charged from the outset, with wave upon wave of gun-toting gangsters homing in on Ram like flies to rotting meat. Starting out in the seedy underbelly of Los Toros, Ram must run, gun and grenade his way through seven areas of the city, each divided into smaller sections packed with objectives to complete and sombrero-wearing bad guys to knock off. Set in the same universe as Total Overdose, Deadline Games' Max Payne-meets-Mexico PS2 shooter, Chili Con Carnage's hero Ramiro Cruz returns as the gun-slinging gringo out to exact revenge on the mob bosses that killed his father. You see, it's quite simply the most over-the-top, wonderfully stupid and downright funny game we've played on PSP yet. 'The most bizarre game on PSP.' 'An explosive third-person shooter that's hotter than a chilli burrito.' 'A must-have for hat and chicken lovers.' Whatever quote Eidos splashes over its promo posters for Chili Con Carnage, it's unlikely to do the game justice.
