    Scarface-The world is yours, named from the scene in the movie when Tony is sitting looking up at a Pan Am Airlines sign showing there airline ad slogan. "The World is Yours" Travel Pan Am.

    I really love the atmosphere this game has. The music, the voice acting, and the overall feeling is 10/10, but the flaws seriously hurt this game. If they just made the car-handling better and fixed the awkward, sluggish controls, this game would be 10/10 material. Too many problems for a patch to fix, as far as the typical patch. Man, this game could have been golden.

    This game is badassssss. This is a game that can rival any of the Grand Theft Auto series. All the killing, money, cars drugs and women you can play with. Not to mention you get credit fopr shooting people in the balls. The only complaint I have is the lack of adjustability of the keyboard controls.

    One of the best games i've played in a while. This game has a good story, gameplay is really good and the voices sound pretty spot on to those who played them in the movie. Have to agree though that the mouse sencitivity lacks a bit and the keys are a little hard to get a hold of... but if your a gamer you'll get the hold of them no worries. Worth checking out!

    Anyone who is a fan of the movie way back in the 80's should enjoy this title. The beginning of the game picks up from where the movie ended. well almost. Of course Tony can't die like in the movie so as the game starts, you will be first shown scenes of the movie up till the end then gameplay begins letting you turn around and literally and change tonys fate. you must escape Anyone who is a fan of the movie way back in the 80's should enjoy this title.

This game looks like a GTA Knockoff at first but you soon realize its added a few elements that really change the gameplay. such as no more going back to same areas over and over again. This title is a must have for those who enjoyed the movie...and a real adult title . Expand

    This games kicks ass in so many ways! Ya its alot like GTA but, hey, think about it. Since Grand Theft Auto was the first game of this type every other sandbox game is gonna seem like GTA de-ja-vu.

    At first sight it may seems average, but if you just push into the experience you will soon see how great this game is! You have a GTA-like gameplay for the free roaming but with ten times more things to do!

While i am not a Scarface the movie fanboy, I give it an objective 9/10. Expand

    Except for one thing. I am not able to complete a boat drug mission over and over again. I get the drugs past the pirates, past the police and to the warehouse, but as soon as I go back to the warehouse to distribute them, a message appears that says "Mission Failed". I have completed this mission several times before with no problem bu tnow it's not working right. Any help out there?

    nice graphics and sound, the guy who was chosen to portray tony does a great job and the rest of the sound is pretty nice, the main story missions are alright but the sised ones are just mediocre and repetative. the sgooting is easy and fun but dont play this game around kids or protective parants becouse its rather gory and has heaps of swering ( plus coke dealing ) Over all fun game if nice graphics and sound, the guy who was chosen to portray tony does a great job and the rest of the sound is pretty nice, the main story missions are alright but the sised ones are just mediocre and repetative. the sgooting is easy and fun but dont play this game around kids or protective parants becouse its rather gory and has heaps of swering ( plus coke dealing ) Over all fun game if your mature enough to know what its about.

    to be honest the game lacks alot of things in gta like buyin clothes and various side mission but it succeeds in the combat which is so much fun especially the rage it's very good and alot of swearing words r very great with the great voice actor who really was 95% close to alpacino voice also the songs in the game r great not only the songs from the movie but also the latin and pop alotto be honest the game lacks alot of things in gta like buyin clothes and various side mission but it succeeds in the combat which is so much fun especially the rage it's very good and alot of swearing words r very great with the great voice actor who really was 95% close to alpacino voice also the songs in the game r great not only the songs from the movie but also the latin and pop alot of them r great btw the best song in the game for me was Latin soul-narco trafico
    the graphics is average but who cares about graphics
    in the end it's a very enjoyable game that took me 20 hours and 27 min to complete and the best thing ever about da game is that feeling of being tony montana and feeling like a real boss especially when u got to control people with u and that rage which made the feeling of boss power great
    i give it a 8

    Game starts good but later on you realize that there are only like 10 missions in the story and to be able to play a mission you have to grind for even a hour on end. Controls are good in my opinion. The shooting is easy maybe too easy but its more like a arcade shooter so its fun to shoot enemies and seeing blood come off and seeing that text when you hit the balls.

    Fantastic game, but the PC/Xbox ports are mediocre. Try patching it, or play the PS2 version instead.

    It does a whole lot to fix many of the problems with other games in the genre, and it does an absolutely fantastic job of bring the world of Scarface to gamers.
  2. For those who dare to tug on the tiger’s tail, prepare for an experience that will satiate your lust for money, power and women while simultaneously entertaining you almost every step of the way.

    Worth a tour if you really loved the movie, but maybe less so if you've already played the hell out of Vice City. We can't really blame Scarface for the familiarity of the setting, but the fact remains that we've been here before.
