    This is one of the best licensed games ever made and my favorite GTA clone.

    I love this game. The graphics look really good. It captures the look and feel of early 1980s Miami. The soundtrack is good but not as perfect as Vice City. I love the voice acting. Every taunt is badass, funny and taken straight from the movie. The Balls Rage is one of the coolest concepts ever. The story is an altered follow up to the 1983 film and its so fun. It has side missions, drug zones, races and compounds. This game makes you feel like you are Tony Montana. This is the only game to have it's actual movie soundtrack in the game.

    It is very faithful to the film.

    The biggest flaws are money balancing and hit detection. The hit detection is not much of a problem depending on the gun you use. Money is the main issue as it is needed for you to build up your respect meter by buying exotics for Tony's mansion and assets that you constantly need to save up to buy them as the last two areas are the most expensive.

    Overall, I definitely recommend.
