fun game, but I think being praised as one of the best boomer shooters of all time is really heavy handed. the shooting feels good but you're pulled away from it way too often and dragged through boring setpieces for it to feel really cohesive (the motorcycle and carship segments specifically)
my biggest issue with the game is the fact that you become overpowered pretty much immediately. playing on the hardest difficulty felt meaningless because you get so souped up on upgrades so quickly that there's never really any point where it feels difficult. you just kind of steamroll through everything and it never gets harder. these games usually excel at giving you a specific toolkit and teaching you how to best utilize that toolkit but turbo overkill just kind of teaches you that sliding is good and that's the entire game
