Single Minded, Mature and Fun 
2007-09-03
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 $$ 2007-08-26
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.

I bought this game as a Father's Day gift for my husband. I cannot begin to tell you what a pleasure it was watching him play it while imitating Scarface's voice. he got a kick out of it too.
Graphic violence , but not for under 18 2007-05-28
This is an awesome tribute to one of the perhaps most extreme and well made , specially regarding the script , movies ( by maestro O. Stone )ever. Just watching the Pacino dude in the game is just funny , not to mention his dialogues , the ways to increase his energy ( BALLS !!) , i.e. : by taunting drivers, passers-by , specially women , by using the chainsaw ( what follows is really too carnal , but still ... ) etc. The vocal substitute for the Pacino (aka Tony Montana ) character is indinstinguishable from the real Mr. AL , so that also ads to the game's authenticity and playability.It is similar to GTA , but the latter has no PAcino in it! To sum it up : recommended , but keep away from minors( or you will be dealing with the barrage of the foulest word in Spanglish!!! ).
what liberty city stories should have been 2007-03-21
scarface should have been the next GTA game alot of ppl have compared the two and with good reason both are great games but scarface goes much farther with the badd lanuage so this game surely isnt for minors one reviewer said there no free roam in this game which i find to be wrong
theres times when your surpose to met your girlfreind or have to buy a store front and i ran around making drugs deals and killing off gang members instead and do the missions when i feel like it but of course theres only so much u can do without doing a mission and moving on the cars are a little tricky to handle but once you get how they hangle youll find yourself doing amazing spin outs only bad thing i can think to say about this game is that tony doesnt jump he run walks and swim even shots behind himself while running away from a situation and that the grenade launcher really sucks your better off not using it unless you get the hang of how the grenade arches when its shot instead of going straight to its target so youll end up shooting over and just behind your target but scarface has great replay value i cant say enough bout how fun tis game is heres a example ..during one chase and shot scene i spun my car around and drove backwards while shooting the van in front of me via Mr and Mrs Smith style plus they have some of the coolest music ive heard in a game in a long while so get Scarface today or Tony will introduce you to his little freind
Scarface is a must buy game 2008-05-10
Scarface the world is yours is a really great game with a really good story of what would happen if tony would have lived.This game is really fun to play and its better than GTA.This game is a must buy
same as gta 2008-04-30
this was okay but its like GTA but with a crazy spanish dude. Ive gotten board of this game quickly, your just running around like a maniac and blowing stuff up well that's how he is, but it was okay the story mode was okay to but it gotten boring after awhile like GTA games all you doing is blowing stuff up and shooting and beating up other people and the police gets envoled then they start chaseing you, thats it that really gets boring but this was an okay game.
a Good Game 2008-04-28
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.

Live out your Scar-fantasies

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)
