Review
In a nutshell:
The latest retro movie license puts you in the ultra sweary shoes of Tony Montana as you fight to build back your dr.gs empire and help to rewrite the ending of the movie with the help of your little friend.
The lowdown:
Its hard not to think of Grand Theft Auto when you see this game, not least because Vice City ripped off most of the movies soundtrack and key scenes. Although it features lots of automotive carnage and third person shooting, Scarface does try its best to offer some new features, as you buy fronts for your cocaine business, launder money and slowly raise your reputation with gangs across Miami. Where it falls down though is in the story missions, which require you to complete a lot of laborious sub quests and often include some fairly silly objectives. The otherwise authentic atmosphere is usually just enough to keep things ticking over though, particularly for movie fans.
Most exciting moment:
The best part of the game is definitely the combat and the one area where the game is definitely superior to Grand Theft Auto. Aiming is helped by a handy lock-on system and theres even a first-person rage mode for when Tonys maxes out his balls meter.
Since you ask:
Although Al Pacinos real face is used in the game, he hasnt recorded any new dialogue. However, the game does feature original cast members Steven Bauer and Robert Loggia, as well as celeb voiceovers from the likes of Ricky Gervais, James Woods and Cheech & Chong.
The bottom line:
No Grand Theft Auto beater but an interesting companion to the movie.- HARRISON DENT
