Ummm, quite a difference on the "We Say, You Say" score. Well I wasn't expecting a good score here but that was too low. The game isn't that bad.

I wonder if IGN and GameSpot ever argue over these types of reviews?

"The Good: Currently the only GTA-style open-world action game on the Wii…." I thought Godfather was a similar game? Gamespot is always way off on their reviews vs. user scores, they just don't know how to review the Wii for its userbase. They're usually spot-on for 360/PS3 scores compared to user scores.

Jeff is dumb. Bad controls? The controls are good, the only thing i agree with is that it has a boring story line, and excessive swearing, which gets annoying after a while.

Man, when it comes to wii reviews, I just about always disagree with GS. some of the games GS has given good scores to I thought were awful, and some of the games they've gived reall really bad scores to I loved.

IGN seems a lot more accurate with wii reviews.

Considering Godfather for the Wii, then the good is of the edge of the map.

I fail to see why anyone would be surprised. It's a port of a game that was mediocre to begin with. >_>

excessive swearing, which gets annoying after a while. Haziqonfire

Which is just like the movie, Pacino will usually whip one off every other sentence.

I think what he meant by that was:

But I don't really listen to reviews anyway, unless I don't know anything about the game or its track record myself.

This is why i don't listen to gamespot reviews.I just don't agree with the.This game has the best third-person controls on the wii.

I am really enjoying this game.I was in a sniper mission and i was shocked to see how well the sniper controls turned out to be.Ever since February this is my 11th game on the Wii.

Yes the movie was great, as was the game. I never used to trust Gamespot with their reviews, especially Gerstmannn and nowI never will! IGN, here I come!

It's not just overrating. They overrate the OK and underrate the unbelievable.

Did you like that use of letters.:P

But seriously though, that review is way off.

No, because what makes the Wii version great is the controls, and that's what brought the score down!

How does the Wii version control better than the xbox/ps2 version?

When you lock on with a sweet UZI (or any gun but I love the UZI), you have a nice little area of free aim where you can shoot the persons head, kidneys, arm, legs, and even left or right nut. It's great to physically aim for those places with the wiimote.

Scarface for Wii is great. Don't let this lousy, incompetent review hold you back from buying it.

Great game!

It amazes me how Gamespot's reviews can be extremely different than the majority of the other gaming sites. I'm beginning to think there is no hope for even the big three (MP3, SSBB, SMG)to score well because Gamespot will find one little flaw and run with it; giving the game a bad score. I really hope Gerstmann isn't reviewing all three of Nintendo's big games.

That seems about right.

I have it rented right now and it really is nothing special. Its just another GTA knockoff.

But i gotta disagree about the controls; they came VERY easily to me. Aiming, moving, shooting, etc... all really flowed and i cant complain about the controls.

But the rest of the game.....meh. Standard. I think its better than the ps2 version simply because of the wii controls....having played it on ps2 before i couldnt stand the abomination that is the dual analog controller. But wii only has that 1 thing over the ps2 version.....everything else is exactly the same.
