Chili Con Carnage is a third-person shooter developed by Deadline Games and released in 2007 for the PlayStation Portable, functioning as a semi-sequel to the Latin-flavored action game Total Overdose. Designed around the constraints and strengths of handheld play, the game's single-player mode, El Macho, consists of a series of discrete mini-challenges rather than a connected narrative, with each challenge unlocking different characters who bring distinct gameplay approaches. Combat leans heavily into exaggerated action, incorporating bullet-time mechanics and gravity-defying acrobatics alongside a broad arsenal of exotic weapons. Two multiplayer modes complement the solo content: Hangman supports up to four players sharing a single console, while Fiesta accommodates wireless online play via Wi-Fi. The overall structure prioritizes short, self-contained bursts of over-the-top action suited to portable sessions.
Take on the role of Ramiro Cruz in the main story mode, a young man who has just witnessed his dad's murder in classic Mexican fashion (combine harvester through office wall), and now he is on a gun-fueled quest for vengeance through Mexico.
