    I rented it at the same time as Bully, so my view my be skewed,, but I didn't play very far, as the game seemed fairly tedious with the load screens, cut scenes and general gameplay. Sure, the graphics are better than Vice City (if you wanted more detailed posteriors, for example), but Scarface is generally void of VC's cutting humor and engaging gameplay.

Yes, it's violent and sure, you get to hear a lot of cursing in a cheesy Cuban accent, but in the end, I shut it off because it simply wan't that much fun. Expand

    Stay away from this game for now. The PC version is unplayable as it is now. The frame rate is very poor even if you have a very fast system with a good video card. You can

    I found the game annoying to play. Missions were annoying especially when it tells you to do two different things at one time. "Lose the cops" "protect so and so" flee the cops fail the mission protect the person you risk getting screwed by the cops. Lost a few good lump sums of money and drugs because the game messed up. Driving and targeting is great but I rarely play the game nowI found the game annoying to play. Missions were annoying especially when it tells you to do two different things at one time.

    Just your average GTA-inspired game. Not much to say. I had a couple of friends that played it, so i watched a lot of it... never felt the need to play it myself.

    Say hello to our little friend, great disappointment. [Oct. 2006, p.60]

    The game just fails in so many areas. [Nov. 2006, p.82]
  3. It’s every bit as profane, violent, and over-the-top as the movie, and delivers not only the gunplay you’re expecting, but as much depth as almost any other game in the genre. Like the film that inspired it, it’s sometimes a bit clunky, but makes up for it in bravado and style.
