    Not at all what I expected. Became boring after about 20 min.

    This is the worst game ever for psp. It is nothing like it is on playstation or xbox. You do nothing in the game. Do not waste your money. Super Nintendo has better games than this!

    Awful, not what you would have expected. I wish I knew what this was before I wasted my money on it.

    Two things to consider. 1: It's a PSP game so it's bound to be crap. 2: It's a Turn-Based Strategy game. It's not similar to the console version. This is solely focus on the drug dealing. The game takes 5 minutes to pick up everything there is to know on how to play. The tutorial is brief and simple. The rest of the game is actually entertaining because it shows real movie scenes but withTwo things to consider. 1: It's a PSP game so it's bound to be crap. 2: It's a Turn-Based Strategy game.

The rest of the game is actually entertaining because it shows real movie scenes but with fictional gameplay and intergrates both into a backstory. The in-game combat is turn-based and has almost no strategy to it. It's mostly just pot luck. But despite the unnacetably hurrendous graphics, it's an addicting little game not because you want to learn it better, but because it's so god dman easy and simple.… Expand

    Absolutley the worse game i have ever played for psp. I'm completely shocked that they would sell this for anything more than $5. The worse part i paid 30 for it, and it only trades in for 2!! You will have more fun playing tetris on your PC than this sorry ass excuse for a game.

    Coming off an excellent use of the license for the PS2 game, Scarface blunders onto the PSP with a UMD that has plenty of content just no game-play.

    Instead of condensing the sandbox game into perhaps a 3ps or a top down shooter, things go in a very sad direction. The developers would want you to believe there is a game in there something but there is not. press a few buttons and you might luck yourself through a pre-rendered shootout that has no challenge other than to know which pre-set categories to max out. Win the shootout and you will receive a clip from the movie, rinse, wash, repeat.

    They might of hit the nail on the head with the sandbox game, but they didn't even bother with the handheld version, this "game" is not worth anyone's time.    … Expand

    Scarface on PSP lacks the excitement of its console sibling. It has plenty of scenarios from the movie, as well as some of its own, but the strategy never gets deep enough to make up for the lack of real action.

    Fans of the film may enjoy the idea of building their own criminal empire, but those expecting a fast-paced action experience are in for a rude awakening.

    If you aren’t interested in learning the fine points of micro economics, then Scarface will likely bore you after three or four hours. The menu-based gameplay lacks the personality that you might expect from a Scarface title, and the game becomes elementary after you figure out the system.
