 a Good Game April 28, 2008
If you are a Scarface fan then this is a good game. While there are areas that are easy to beat, it makes up for it in the harder areas to beat.

This game is a respectable use of the Scarface license. If you have always wanted to have your enemies "Say hello to your little friend" then this game is for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a lot of innovation and a unique game play experience... you won't find quite so much here.
While I must say there were enough unique elements in this game to hold my interest, I couldn't help getting the feeling I was playing just another Grand Theft Auto. Sure, everything had a Scarface theme to it, but when you get right down to it the bulk of the game was running/driving around town completing various missions to unlock additional areas to explore in exactly the same fashion of good ol' GTA.
Unfortunately, that's about all that can be said. I wish I could go on about how cool the "Heat" concept was, or how making drug deals and supply runs was innovative but the reality is, this is GTA with a fairly good voice over/impression of Pacino's Tony Montana.
Pros:
-Fun to "be" Tony Montana
-Interesting "Exotics" that can be used to "pimp" your mansion.
-Minor innovations like "Blind Rage" and "Driver" that improved upon the GTA concept
Cons:
-Mission difficulty jumps wildly from mind-bogglingly easy to tear-your-hair-out frustratingly hard.
-Fairly repetitive
-A fair amount of glitches (not riddled with them, but enough to warrant mention here)
Single Minded, Mature and Fun September 3, 2007

Scarface is based on the classic movie starring Al Pacino. In this game, Tony Montana didn't die at the end of the movie. Instead, he has to rebuild his empire piece by piece - and he is VERY angry.
The movie was classic for its over the top violence and fury. You need to be aware that this game is rated M for Mature - and it most definitely earns that rating. There is non stop swearing throughout the game, and a great deal of slaughter. If you thought the Grand Theft Auto games were bad, this takes it a step beyond.
It's definitely intriguing to have a Cuban themed world around you, rather than the stereotypical Italian or ghetto worlds that many other games provide. There is a sense of style generated by a lot of the scenes here, and the dialogue and action is quite involving.
They did a great job with the graphics, although I have to admit that the incredible detail of the Grand Theft Auto series has really spoiled me. If I see a location, I want to be able to go explore it. The Scarface designers only made certain parts of each map playable, and erected invisible force fields everywhere else to prevent you from going there. Those bug me to no end :) Surely they could have spent an extra few weeks in development to let me wander around that area, even if I didn't find anything. It would make the game seem more "real", and my choices more my own.
Also, it would be nice to have things other to do than just mow down enemies. I like games that offer a variety of tasks, but this isn't one of them. If you get tired of the non-stop violence, you have to pop another game into the console in order to relax a bit before you go back to the game.
Still, the game is great fun, and as long as you accept the mature rating and one-track gameplay.
Worth the $$ August 26, 2007
This was purchased for my son and he really does enjoy the game. He and his friends play it often. It has many different angles and it really holds their interest.
