Scarface Fans Rejoice! Soon, you will get the world and everything in it--Tony Montana Style...
Again, I wanna stress two important things before I go further. Number One: WATCH THE MOVIE BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS GAME!!! If not, everything will be foreign to you. Mind you, it's rated R so some of you might be pressed getting your parents to let you watch it, lol. Number Two: This game follows a 'What if Tony Survived?' scenario, meaning he doesn't die like the movie's ending dictates. The game starts right after Tony's Trademark "Say hello to my little friend!" and blows the door to his office (and the half dozen or so guys on the other side) away. From there, Tony makes a daring escape just as the DEA shows up at the Mansion. Now stripped of the money, power and respect he had, Tony's plan is simple: Take back all he lost and seek revenge against the man who almost killed him: Alejandro Sosa.
I own the PC version of the game but I also have a Dual Shock Controller that I bought specifically for games like this. It's controls are the same as the PS2's, prettymuch. You can press Analong button to switch between moving with the left control stick or the D-Pad, however. All that aside, the game's everything you liked about the movie and then some, including places from the movie, too. As you progress through the game you will see why (at the time the movie was made) the writers killed off Mr. Montana--it perfectly takes you through the World of Cocaine Trafficing and how to do it good. Al Pacino does the voice of Tony Montana in the game. Aside from all the lines we've come to know and love such as "I bury those Cock-a-roaches!" and "Don't F*** with me!" a lot of new ones have been added, too. I'd list them all but all the good ones include the word F***, heh heh. Everything not nailed down tight can be shot to bits. Anyone who has it coming to them can be cut to pieces with the Chainsaw. The graphics have been nicely done to make sure fans of the movie get treated right.
In a nutshell, this game is right up there in terms of one of the best Movie-based games ever made--more so for story than anything else. Play it and see why dozens of Hip Hop enthusiasts have given Scarface such high praise. If you liked the game, Watch the Movie. Even if you already have it, watch it again. Then replay the game. Lather, rinse and repeat...
