2. Game Story and Cast.
You are Ramiro "Ram" Cruz, insane criminal turned Drug Enforcement Agent. You
have been sent into the Mexican border city of Los Toros and its surroundings
by your bueno-dos-zapatos hermano Tommy, who wants you to find out who killed
your father Ernesto. You also will be infiltrating and taking down the biggest
drug cartel in Mexico and battling it out with dope dealers, banditos, corrupt
Federales and Mexican Army, loco luchadores, zombies, guerillas, and other bad
guys. Between missions you can play free-form, exploring Los Toros and
gathering bonuses to rack up a high score. The cast of this game is as follows:
Ramiro "Ram" Cruz: The playable character for most of the game. An insane
gringo who was in jail on multiple felonies, but then the DEA got him out to
take his twin brother's place taking on the criminal elements of Los Toros. Ram
does not believe in being careful, playing by the rules, or letting his enemies
live very long. He's like most videogame heroes that way. :)
Tomas "Tommy" Cruz: Ram's twin brother, playable for the second mission only.
Tommy is a high-ranking DEA agent who has been trying to take down the Morales
Cartel and clear his father's name. Unfortunately he gets seriously wounded
early on in the game and is unable to carry out his mission. Instead his
hermano Ram must do it. Tommy does help some via a radio link through which he
provides advice Ram may or may not take.
Ernesto Cruz: The boys' father, playable for the first mission only. A
deep-cover DEA agent who unfortunately fell victim to an overdose on some drugs
and jumped out of a plane after getting too much into his assumed identity. Or
is that what really happened? Play the game to find out!
Papa Muerte: A mysterious drug lord who is responsible for the death of Ernesto
Cruz and countless others. His true identity is unknown, and you will spend
most of the game hunting him down.
Commander Trust: Tommy's boss, who is not too thrilled with Ram being sent to
handle things. Oh well, you can't always get what you want, pal. :)
Marco the Rat: Informant for Tommy and owner of Marco's Junkyard, which will be
a good home base for you during your stay in Los Toros.
Officer Mendez: Tommy's contact in the Mexican Federal Police. He will supply
Ram with hardware and contacts with the local cops. A valuable if rarely seen
ally...at first anyway.
Ceasar Morales: Head of the notorious Morales Cartel, this fatso runs most of
the drug traffic in Los Toros, though he faces increasing competition from the
Virgilio Cartel. He also owns a meat packing plant, a trucking company, and a
shipping business. Not to mention the fact that he's the Los Toros Bullfighting
Commissioner and is also running for President of Mexico. And he has
information on Ernesto's death. Gotta love them Renaissance men bad guys. :)
Angel: Ceasar Morales's beautiful chauffeur/enforcer. Ram likes her, but at the
same time she is his enemy. Or is she? Whose side is this chica muy bonita
really on?
Joey Virgilio: This Mexican redneck heads a clan of drug-growing farmers and
banditos. He also owns a really cool street racer.
Rico Virgilio: Joey's no-good cousin, another high-ranking member of the
Virgilio Clan.
Special Agent Johnson: Former partner of Ernesto, a highly trained veteran DEA
agent who has put a lot of work into the Papa Muerte case seemingly with little
result. Also known for his cowboy hat and John-Wayne-style modus operandi. What
secrets does this man hide?
Special Agent Piersson- Another veteran DEA agent who worked with Ernesto. A
good friend to Tommy and Ram.
General Montanez: A corrupt high-ranking leader of the Mexican army who has
worked with the CIA and DEA but is currently employed by Papa Muerte's cartel.
Elvez Gonzales: Wealthy playboy thug, good friend of Ceasar Morales, also a
heavy dealer in arms and automobiles. Definitely a source of information to be
mined.
There are also of course countless goons, civilians, merchants, mission-givers,
and other unnamed characters. We shall meet them in the walkthru below.
