One hundred degrees Celsius. Two hundred and twelve degrees Fahrenheit. Three hundred and seventy three point five Kelvin. Oh, okay, we’re facetiously trying to get around the fact that we really don’t know where to begin with Boiling Point: Insert Unnecessary Subtitle Here (which is admittedly better than its original name of Xenus). Superficially, it’s GTA: South America. In reality, it’s so very much more.

Boiling Point: Road to Hell (it really didn’t need that subtitle) is an astonishing game on so many levels, but not all of them good. It tells the story of Saul Meyers, an ex-military type who’s half-bald on account of his likeness to vaguely recognisable actor Arnold Vosloo (he was the chap who played super-nasty terrorist Habib Marwan in the latest season of 24). We learn in the opening sequence that his daughter has gone missing in deepest, darkest South America, and the voice-over helpfully informs us that Saul is about to reach boiling point, just as he turns to face the camera and performs a hilarious grimace – the first of the game’s many unintentionally chucklesome moments (and that’s if you don’t count the looping theme tune playing out while you’re actually installing the thing).
