With rich graphics and great environmental physics, its not surprising that this could be one of the best Gun's blazing shooter on the Xbox 360.

So what makes this game different to all the shooters you might ask. The answer is Tequila Time which means slow mo.
Tequila Time allows you to do so many slow mo moves like diving. You'll find many different weapons to use from dual pistols to duel smg's and even shotguns to deliver more BANG for your buck. One of the best quality's about this game is the environment and the way anything can be destroyed.
The levels are very detailed and the maps are all different. You go to boat yards, slums, casinos and also a museum. These are much like playgrounds to unleash your little friends ;-)

Tequila has a variety of ways to take out enemy's, the most fun would be the "Tequila Bombs". These are special moves that recharge when you have killed a few people with style. There are 4 Tequila Bombs, the first replenishes some of your health. The second is called precision shot, this allows you to zoom in on your target in any part of his body, then fire a single bullet that goes in slow motion to the enemy. you see the bullet from when it comes out of your gun to the point when it hits your target. The third is barrage, this makes you invincible for a short period of time and also makes your gun, fire 2-3 times faster. The 4th is a spin attack which is almost like a cut scene where tequila spins while firing and doves fly up around him, this kills everyone that's surrounding you.

While single player is very fun, multiplayer is a different story. In multiplayer slow mo is almost taken away. Online is very frustrating because you wont be able to use tequila time that much, since the bar takes a while to fill up but when it does and you use tequila time then everyone in the game goes slow mo at the same time. So it doesn't really work. Although you do get the tequila bombs.
If your a fan of slow mo guns blazing games then you will find this game very fun. Heck even if your not, it will still appeal to most gamers. From start to finish the game can be completed by the average gamer in about a day or 2.
