After seeing the movie Scarface, which is my favorite movie of all time, I decided to see what the game is like. At first, I thought this game was going to be a bummer, but when I just started playing, it was non-stop fun. The game is really bloody and the kills are just awesome. Most of the enemies' body parts are written when you shoot them, and that was really nice. If you keep killing enemies and taunting them, you can fill up your "Balls" meter, and when it's filled, you can hold the "O" button and you'll enter rage mode. In this mode, you'll enter first person mode and start killing furiously, you get health for every enemy you kill, Tony starts cursing like crazy, and the shooting is bloodier!!! Amazing! It doesn't really get old. The missions are nice and they're not boring at all. You can do some really cool things like hiring a henchman, and way more. You progress more in the game, and the SCARFACE letters fill up. Selling coke is a nice thing too. And one of the coolest things is that you can do full conversations with people! The only thing I'm bummed about is that you can't kill any pedestrians and that hijacking a car can be difficult sometines, only cops and enemies. You can even bribe cops when they're chasing you! NICE!!!!!! And you can swim, but if you swim for too long and into the ocean, a shark will eat you!
Next, the graphics are really nice. The blood effects are great!! Tony's clothes get bloody when he's getting shot alot, and the blood also appears on enemies all the time! The blood also comes on the walls when you kill an enemy! The character models are very good. Tony looks just like in the movie. Miami's look is also nicely done. Car damage is nice too.
Next, the sound. The game sounds really nice. The guns are a pleasure to hear and so is the voice acting and the cursing. Tony sounds just like in the movie, and one of the best parts is the music! If you want music, you can turn on music even when you're outside your car. There is also a good selection of music from the 80s, and when the cops are fully on to you, the Scarface soundtrack "Push it to the Limit" comes up!!! Brilliant. In all, this is a very good and underrated game that isn't getting the recognition it deserves. So if you're a Scarface fan, don't hesitate to pick this one up and ignore the rating Gamespot gave it.
