"Turbo Overkill is pure adrenaline shot in vein. It is excessive, frantic, visceral and, above all, very beastly. A boom shooter that has references to the greats of the old school, but knows how to implement a host of modern …"

"Turbo Overkill is part of a rapidly growing renaissance of classically-styled first-person shooters. While modern conveniences apply here, the crux of Trigger Happy Interactive&s;s offering is to allow players to rampage through absurd scenarios."
