After watching the commericals I thought the playbility was like the GTA series. Not quite. It is like Risk with drugs. I am disappointed in this game. Lots of cussin and movie clips then a "Risk like" game board. Then more cussin' and movies then back to the Risk board. Mega boring, however, I should have know this when I saw the Sierra Games logo. That is the universal gaming logo for "Wait until it hits the dollar bin"

Bottome line: Not recommended for folks that like GTA like playability.

what a bunch of lies

wow , at first i thought it was me . the psp plays like a board game . see the other reviews . i thought i would have some control of tony montana . like vic in grand theft auto or like godfather for psp mob wars . but i was so wrong . sure this game might play well on other platforms but for the psp . DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY . YOU WILL BE SORRY. I have never been this down on a game but i get more excited playing checkers and this game is close to playing electronic checkers and takes more time . my regret was i should have waited for the reviews . i have not read one good one for psp . they should pay us to play it

i was so pumped when i bought this game because my friend has it for PS2 and its sick so i didnt even read the reviews. dont make my mistake. this game is not a 1st person shooter like the ps2 version, instead it is a stratgy game like risk or something just with drugs. you dont actually get to shoot anyone, the computer does that for you. Do not buy this game.

It's okay, More of strategy game

I also thought that would you play as Tony killing and shooting like in GTA, but it was kinda disappointing. I still like it because it's a game of strategy. So if you like strategy it's not bad, if you like shooting go with GTA either Vice city or LIberty City. One game that has both though, was Samurai Warriors where it does require strategy but then you can play as a character and kill, take over stuff. Great game!

I paid 40 bucks for this game and you can't do anything with it. All you ever do is pick different turfs for fake people to go out and shoot at each other, but you the player can do NOTHING. Major waste of money.

Discontent!!!!!

People...read before buy something instead of putting bad reviews.
IT IS A DIFFERENT GAME THAN THE PS2. (that is the hole idea !!!)
And it's great, fun & challenging.
Highly recommend.

NOT a first person shooter, but still plenty of fun

This is basically a neat, fun, Scarface-modified version of Risk. I bought it, review unseen and not knowing what to expect, because I like the Scarface franchise. In response to the reviews I read, most seem disappointed with the fact that this is not a 1PS. Well, I have to say this game was a refreshing change. I thoroughly enjoyed it, spending two seven-plus-hour bouts beating the various gameplays offered. This game has great replayability, which is why I bought my PSP - for long trips, etc. It really kept me laughing throughout. The game cusses like a sailor on payday shoreleave, but honestly, that's what made the Scarface movie such a classic. In movie scene mode, you actually play your way through the movie. Lots of fun.

My breakdown:

Sound: Not bad. Tried hard to follow the movie soundtrack. I liked the Tony Montana-esque commentary. Frankly, it's kind of funny. If you can't handle cuss words, why are you even buying a Scarface-related product? I love the little tailored commentary. Adult-oriented, though. This is not a game for your teenagers.

Gameplay: This is more of a chess game than shooter. The premise is that Miami is broken into some 15-or-so territories that you fight over with the rival gangs from the story while balancing the need to make money by selling various drugs and surviving by taking over real estate. (It's Scarface, are you that shocked?) The storyboarders did a really good job of mixing up the missions so that they are different and challenging, even on replay. You actually have to think in order to play this game. No aplologies if that turns some people off. Do your homework before you buy if you get that upset. Get a helmet, people. Every review I got negative feedback off of was because they were expecting something different.

Graphics: Hey the actual little combat scenes are neat, for what they are. There is no individual play in these, as they do stick to a Risk-like duel of chance. Still, I liked it. Could get old if you watched rival gang battles.

Overall: Neat pick. Fun, and glad to have it in my arsenal! I feel it was worth the money.
