i loved the movie Scarface...and i think this game is the Ultimate Compliment to the film. the depiction of the mansion is like icing on the cake. and whoever they got to mimic Tony Montana's voice did an EXCELLENT job. some of the things said in this game are just hilarious. basically, all you do is sell dealers the drugs, collect the money and store it in the bank. wash, rinse, repeat...but its got so much flare from the movie, you wont get tired of it. i recommend this to anyone who liked the movie and has an xbox...or if your just unpleased with GTA4 :l pick this up.

i rank this up there with GTA:SA and The Godfather, you should be able to find a copy on ebay...

iLL .

Don't expect much for your money.

This game for the most part is a blatant ripoff of grand theft auto.
The graphics are not that good & the missions you must complete are sometimes really boring or just plain confusing. If you want a real street action game try the latest GRAND THEFT AUTO. If you can pick up this scarface game for under $10.00 it's worth it. Otherwise don't expect much for your money.

I expected much better

Fot all the hype I have seen promoting this game I expected much better.
It seems as if they rushed to put this game out without really fine tuning it. The only thing amusing about this game is all the conversations Tony can strike up.

Scarface game

i have to say that the universe of scarface is more than ten years old that the vice city rockstar theme, and all of story, scenes and world was entirely ripoff of this classic. inclusively the original soundtrack was included in gta 3 in the flashback radio station. then who steal who?. this game is fantastic and full of fun, and is way better than recently over hyped games like Just cause.

Good for awhile, too repititive

Scarface is a good game for non-serious gamers, but if your buying for the long run, this game won't cut it. Although the missions are fun, they lack variety, and it is too repetitive. I also wouldn't reccomend this game for young teens because of it's strong drug content. Overall it's okay, but not a Grand Theft Auto beater.

Ahhh...Finally...

Ahhh...Finally I got my hands on this game. Well, let me just say, it exceeded my expectations. The grahics, are stupendous. (for an original xbox game) I love the game play to it too. Some people are dissapointed you can just gun down random pedestrians, (like grand theft auto) but it dosen't bother me any. Because if you've seen the movie, Tony Montana never did kill pedestrians! So, to make this short, buy it...its PIMPIN.

And a shout out to all you hatas out there, THIS IS NOT A GTA SPIN-OFF!
It's quite different.

Good Game, Great Score

This is a really good game. The score in particular is excellent. As of this writing, it is now officially backwards compatible with the XBOX 360. What are you waiting for? Buy this!

Here's proof that the old xbox still had it!

First, the guy who said it's a Grand Theft Auto rip off doesn't know what he's talkig about. Grand Theft Auto actually ripped off the movie in so many ways, just take a look at GTA: Vice City and compared it to the movie. Anyways back to the game, Scarface is fantastic. I love how they made you take a different ending from the movie, playing the game feels like watching Scarface 2. I love how Tony talks to people and reacts, it's exactly like the movie. The only minor flaw is when your out in the streets the game downshifts to a lower resolution in order to avoid slow downs, but it still looks great for the old xbox. Indoor areas look a lot sharper, kinda like max payne 2 while the outdoor looks like driver 3. Still the game is worth every penny, I feel sorry for the 360 owners who sold their xbox. I used to own a 360 and sold it for the lack of games, yet I feel this game is much funner than 3/4 of the 360 games. This game has a lot of swearing and violence!! I love it!!! great soundtrack too!! straight out of the movie, hell it gives me chills when I go berserk into first person mode and tony starts yelling like he did in the gun fight scene, it's awesome. Buy it!!!

This is not GTA, don't try to compare to GTA

While the game engine is similar to GTA, Scarface is not trying to be GTA. It is made by a totally different company and tries to do its own thing. For example, if you love to run around and kill innocent bystanders, you won't like scarface. This game is built around killing enemies & earning money power and respect.
Some parts of the game are even better than GTA. In a shootout, the targetting system is much better and requires some more skill. You can actually aim at their heads and blow them off, or shoot their arms to disable them. In vehicles, it's even more impressive because you actually need to use skill and aim. Unlike in GTA where you just hit the target button and pull the trigger and you're pretty much guaranteed to hit the enemy.
As far as missions go, the skill level and fun factor is about the same as GTA. I really like how you can become Tony's enforcer, driver, or assassin and complete missions as these different characters to build Tony's empire. It adds some variation and lets you expand on what you enjoy in the game. For example, if you like to shoot and kill, do the enforcer missions...like driving, do the driver missions, and snipers can do assassin missions.
I also like how you don't have to protect all your property all the time. Just hire thugs for a few grand and they will defend your turf for you so you can do more important missions and get money and coke to build your empire.
The map isn't as large as GTA San Andreas', but it is still pretty darn big (about the size of Vice city...heck it's actually Miami). Overall, this game might seem like another GTA, but it's a whole new level of action shooter and much more involved in my opinion.
