Torrente is a 2003 video game from O~3 Entertainment. It is based on the Spanish film of the same name.
The game was developed by Madrid-based Virtual Toys in partnership with Cinemaware. The game was originally released in Europe in 2003[2] and later in North America in Summer 2004.[3]
Tal Blevins from IGN said "It's a slow-paced shooter with shoddy AI, dated graphics and a frustrating design. Even though it's good for a few irreverent laughs, it's not worth paying for, even if you find it hanging out in the bargain bin... or a hot tub"
GameSpot said "Given its lurid subject matter, Torrente, bad as it is, might have been some kind of epic disaster or at least an interesting failure. Instead, its awfulness is entirely, depressingly average. If nothing else, collectors of all things Torrente can buy it, store it, and keep it in mint condition in the box, and not feel as if they've missed anything"
The game sold over 240,000 units in Europe.[4]
