Scarface Wii Review

[QUOTE="JMart0492"]

[QUOTE="peaceful_anger"]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.web966

I was just reminded by someone that Brad has a good chance to review MP3.

He did review MP2

and Prime Hunters. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

There are two reviews out so far (?), includig Gamespot's. Why do you guys say Gamespot's Scarface score is different from every other review site. It's only different from Ign's, not unless there are other reviews out there that I am not aware of.

anyone else think someone is being biased

tmgwarrior72

leave it at that.

Yep scratch that up as another GS review that I utterly disagree with. Man, there are plenty of Wii games on my list....MoldOnHold

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

Great game!

leave it at that.

Most other sites have given it an 8 something...

I wonder if the bad controlls have something to do with them not seting the Wiiremote sensativity right, or having something else cause problems.

I called it. I knew it would get marked down. I also knew that Jeff would be reviewing it and his 300 pound tub of lard known as his body would be too lazy to enjoy the damn controls.

Actually, I just looked at gamerankings and there are only two reviews: Gamespot's and Ign's.

You have to wonder at this point, after constant complaining of bad controls that no one else sees, that either the Gamespot staff have the coordination of two year olds, or if they straight up have a load of broken remotes and don't realise it.flying_welshman

I'm actually seriously wondering if they have faulty wiimotes. Too many games now the complaint has been controls when me and many others have found no such problems. Either that or perhaps they just aren't as coordinated as they think.

The only think i can't understand is why they give the same score in graphics (6), like the godfather.

When the godfather have ps2 graphics, and scarface has "on par xbox graphics".

Doesn't matter... Wii fans will still include it in their list of games that are amazing for the Wii just like Godfather.wmc540

They might have another light source that is disrupting the wii remote. I have a lamp that make the Wii remote jump sometimes, because it thinks its part of the sensor bar.

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. Haziqonfire

Anyone who has seen the movie should expect that from the game though, since its pretty much the same thing. Tony Montana swears so much in that movie its not even funny. Great film though.

"For starters, you need to constantly aim the remote at the screen, because it controls both your aiming and your camera movement. .....when you get to the edge of the aiming section (which isn't marked onscreen), it starts rotating the camera."

I didn't find this as a problem, and people better hope he doesn't review MP3 or any other FPS on the Wii for that matter if he's complaining of this.

[QUOTE="JMart0492"][QUOTE="white_sox"][QUOTE="alchemist007"]

I usually look to IGN for Reviews, becuase frankly g-spot isn't my favorite in the subject. :?

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.

nope its on the dot.

another ruined game because of the wii mote.

congradulations nintendo.

First off, you know the game deserves its score how? you havent even played it. Second, nintendo didnt make the game. Plenty of games worked well with wiimote controls, its not nintendo's fault.

[QUOTE="white_sox"][QUOTE="JMart0492"]

[QUOTE="skixwolf"]so did u all complain like little girls when scarface for xbox and ps2 got a 6.something... i hope you did!JMart0492

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.

Heck, not even that. Who needs lock-on aim when you can just free aim him in the first place? Try gunning down people on two sides of the screen with dual analog. Enjoying that limited turn speed? How bout strafing while aiming? Wii free aim is so much more elegant.

Free aiming while driving is also great. Have fun using dual analog (assuming you can aim while driving in those version) to follow a target weaving along a road while you navigate a twisting path.

And when I'm pissed at that AI car that just decided to make that left turn right into me while I'm speeding through a green light, I can place the Wiimote in my left elbow joint and motion up with the nunchuck to mouth off at him (Wiimote motion not necessary).

Wiimote melee and chainsaw are also pretty fun with the motions, as well.

Scarface on Wii has plenty of benefits over standard controllers.

I hate Jeff Gerstmann.

He's Jeff the chef, what bad review is he gonna cook up next?

I'm not suprised to be honest. I go to IGN for most Wii reviews anyways.

For the record I expect GS to give RE4 AA.

Worse review than PS2 and Xbox1 version :lol:

Some revolution :roll:

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.MagnuzGuerra

I'd never trust the "You Say" scores. People always rate games they've bought high. You Say is almost never less than 8. Not saying anything about Scarface I don't know either way... but I would trust GS's horrible score enough not to buy it.

there has to come a time you grow toosuspicious to support GS reviews.Jeff whines about every game basically saying bad controls etc.

I suspect bad controls is jeffs way of saying wiimote more then anything bad cause pretty much every reviewer around the world has no control issues.

Wow the bias is strong with this one (the reviewer)...he...really...really....hates...the wii!

Even the lems and cows are somewhat shocked...

When some of the most hardcore oriented gaming communities sit and mock this review for its bias you know something is up. Neogaf has some of the highest standards as far as who is allowed to post etc and they have a whole thread dedicated to the issue of Jeff and his bias reviews when it comes to the wii.

He always complains controls are bad even for games like wii sports. while the industry in general says they work perfect and are awesome.

There is obviously something wrong when 1 man has so much trouble and consistently penalizes games cause he has an issue and hates a specific controller type. Hes supposed to be rating games on their merit not cause he hates a controller

Gertsmann couldn't even wii bowl and even my mom could do it

I think it's clear what he thinks of the wii-mote.

5.8 is a pretty horrible score. Is the game really that bad? LINKloco

honestly No. If you look at every version jeff did the review and hated the game each time. Compare all rhe reviews from Players and the score is 7.6-7.9 on average. Obviously gamers have a higher opinion of the game then jeff.

Its sad really cause he does have a vendetta against the wii if people would look intently.

deserved what it got.

another bad wii game, what a suprise.

I can now sleep at night knowing that the Wii will always be a flop on GS.miss_kitt3n

Link me the GS score of the Wii, I really like to see that. I never knew systems had scores..

You're judging a system off a port?

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

PannicAtack

Yeahhhhhhhhh its not, Gamespot should really be ashamed of themselfes, Its a great game and thats what Ign gave it, Its really rather pathetic and i click this link hoping to see a better score than they gave to the Ps2/Xbox game because ive got it and love it, Can Gamespot be trusted well most of the time but reviews like this will make me look closer at a game and thisonly looseesmore respectfrom meforgamespot.

Developers are beginning to sicken me more and more each day. TrueReligion_

Actually no, This is better than the Godfather and the closet thing last gen to touch Gta, Look at its score on Ign and Game rankings, Some will say its great, Very good, good and some people who are (I Wont say it), give it a lower score than 6.

IGN is a joke; I'm willing to bet they were paid to give that score.
