bit-tech Shopping: Sierra Scarface: The World Is Yours (Xbox)

Rating: 10

Time with product:

Strengths: lots of mission variety, fun to just run around and blast things

Weaknesses: some missions can get boring

Summary: SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS is a third person shooter for the xbox. If you are familiar with the Grand Theft Auto series, then this game will be old hat for u. it seems that our favorite macho Cuban gangster did not die after all during the assault on his mansion by his rival, that cockaroach Sosa. Instead, he has lost everything and is now bent and deadset on revenge on his rivals and enemies, and rise up once again from nothing to being top of the drug dealer food chain. If you are a fan of over the top shooters, then this game is for you. U have a great selection of weapons to choose from, like pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and various other implements of destruction to wreak havoc with. U also have a ?Balls? meter, which fills up as u are mowing down your enemies and makes u temporarily invincible. U can even target specific limbs to blow off and decapitate your enemies. U also get to choose from a variety of rides, such as convertibles, sports cars , and even speedboats to get around Miami and meet up with your various contacts, like your drug suppliers, dealers, and corrupt cops and bankers. I really enjoyed this game and spent many hours with it. I highly recommend getting it and adding it to your collection.

Strengths: Very user friendly, plot twists keep your interests, and very entertaining.

Weaknesses: Almost same feel as Vice city, GTA. Familiar game play almost feels old before completing game, but still a good buy.

Summary: I still highly recommend this great game. Most movie turned video game transitions are failed attempts, but this game still ranks in a must play category. Get this game while you can, some stores have sold out.

Strengths: Controlling Tony Montana; solid targeting system; looks and feels just like movie

Weaknesses: Storyline and missions are bland

Summary: Scarface has finally come to consoles, and while it does many things we may have hoped for, it seems to have missed the mark in some pretty significant ways. Yes, you get to control Tony Montana. Yes, the game has many of the famous scenes from the movie. But those two strengths aside, the game doesn't do much to justify itself. The storyline is very boring, and the dialogue between characters doesn't seem genuine. The missions themselves aren't particularly interesting either. I would recommend this as a rental just to see what Tony feels like in a video game.

Strengths: Graphics, Story, Violence

Weaknesses: Do many of the same things over and over

Summary: I was excited to find out there was going to be a game based on the great film "Scarface" and to say the least I was not disappointed. Yes, they changed the ending from the movie, but so what? The story is good, the graphics are good, the violence is awesome. Feels alot like Grand Theft Auto to me - which is a big plus! I have spent countless hours over the last 3 months playing this game and have continued to enjoy it, although you do go through many of the same things over and over... The voice talent is great. You wouldn't even know it's not Al Pacino. "Scarface" was one of the best movies ever and this game, in my opinion, is one of the best titles available on XBox. I highly recommend it.
