Scarface: The World is Yours (Playstation 2)

OK, we all know the story from the movie, but this is the game we're talking about. All too many folks in love with the movie will give this game glowing reviews regardless of how good it really is. Not me.

GOOD: On foot, this game rocks. Smooth controls, great weapon selection, and THE most overlooked feature of a third person shooter - shoot from cover. Games like James Bond Everything or Nothing, kill.switch, and precious few others have this function whereby you can tuck up to a corner/object, aim from behind it, and pull the trigger to lean around/pop up and fire. Makes for great small arms fights, instead of the Rambo-esque running into harm's way, firing, and running back. Sooo unrealistic. Also great is the depth to which you can interact with other people. Buying of properties, controlling underworld commerce...that's all in there too. By now, a freeroam driver/shooter requires these things, like a car with a radio, it's now just assumed to be standard.

BAD: The driving. If you really don't care about the driving physics, controls, and interaction with other vehicles, and just want to write the driving portion of this game off as a way of getting from point A to point B, well then great. Not me...if you can drive in a game, they better well get it right, because what are you gonna do when you finish it? Right...DRIVE AROUND AND EXPLORE! The driving in Scarface is pitiful...controls are illogical and you pretty much need two thumbs on your right hand to do it at all. Steering is L stick, and side views are achieved by use of the R stick, and gas and brake are X and Square. Can you see the trouble here? And the side views do not center themselves quickly. Camera follow is decent in turns, but with all the games that have done better with the layout, couldn't they have just followed on this point? The Driver series comes to mind...although they all share (save for the close-chase cam from GTAIII) the same problem of not enough height perspective to the chase cams. You really need to see the tip of your hood and things right in front of you in games like this - not the back tires! Also poor is the completely digital feel to the gas pedal...it's nearly impossible to maintain a consistant speed, very annoying when speed limits are enforced by AI cops. When you coast down to less than about 10 MPH, Tony slams on the brakes, also very annoying. Kinda like driving with Grandpa...all or nothing on the gas and prone to too-quick stops. Overall feel is like you're playing Outrun on Sega again.

I really had a hard time with rating this one, being the two parts are so different in value. On the whole, the game's worth it, due to the stellar on-foot play. Just don't forget your ol' pal shooterpro70 warned you about the crummy driving when those missions are driving YOU nuts!

Excellent ................................................................................................................................................................. !!!

If you are like me and love to play video games as well as a huge fan of the film Scarface then this is a must-have. The game takes place in an alternate reality separate from the film in which Tony Montana doesn't die, it starts off at the end of the movie and follows Tony as he hunts down those who betrayed him and rebuilds his cocaine empire. Now it's hard to make a free-roaming crime based video game with lots of profanity, violence, sex, and drugs without being reminiscent to Grand Theft Auto (by the way the game is rated mature if you haven't figured it out by now) Not to fear! the game is very original and has a great story that grabs you and sucks you into the Scarface universe further than anything since the release of the film. In fact some features in this game seemed to have had an influence on Grand Theft Auto IV, such as the wanted level system and the more-realistic use of a cell phone. The game is long, but not one bit drawn-out, you even learn about and see some characters that were only mentioned in the film. There are so many features of this game that make replaying it over again almost as fun as the first time. This is probably one of the best video games made from the properties of a film, however DO NOT buy the nintendo Wii version- the controls are awful. Thank you for reading I hope I was helpful.

i like the game cause i enjoyed the movie i thought the game would be cool as well i bought it on ebay because i know i could get it at a bargain.

Cool game, fast shipping. I bought this game for my son and he loves it Thanks so much for a great ebay experience

This game is hilarious! When you are not executing missions it is fun just to steal cars and drive around, the people you interact with in the course of the game say things that are so funny. This is a great game.

great game, hours of fun, so many different missions to choose from, highly recommended, 10 times better than any grand theft auto game, ( besides maybe the new ps3 one!)

becouse my son's love scarface in he likes to play P.S2 IN IF IT KEEPS HIM HOME IN OUT OF TRUBILE THEN THAT FINE WITH ME WE WILL BUY SOME MORE GAMES SOON

The game included a slip with cheat codes for the game. I thought that as cool.
The game despite used was in good condition. Thank you so much I would do business with you again

AWESOME GAME. Resembles the movie alot! Fun and addicting for the gamers....
You can sell coke, make deals with gangsters. Drive cars to do the missions, and kill the other gangs. Object of game is to eliminate all the games, own all the shops in Little Havanna, Downtown, and North and South Beach. You can go to the islands and buy keys of drugs and store them at your storehouses. Then distribute them, making you millions of dollars. My favorite part is buying the exotics and pimping out my mansion. LOVE IT A+

Adults and kids love to play this game. Hours of entertainment. We just love to watch and have fun. A variety of vehicles to choose from. Different level of difficulty.

THIS IS A GREAT GAME EXCELENT CONDITION, THANKS AGAIN GREAT SELLER, WOULD RECOMEND SELLER WILL BUY FROM AGAIN.

Got this from seller as promised, game arrived in perfect condition. Very little wear and tear, game itself no scratches.

Awesome game. I enjoyed it alot last night. When I got it yesterday I got into it. Pretty awesome game to have. Thank u. I hope to find more games from here that is personally from u again.

This game is awesome. The graphics are impresive.The voice actor are the same from the movie. This game kills Grand theft auto in every way. A must have to any scarface movie fan & every game collector.

I bought this game as a gift so i don't much about it.I know that the young man who got it is very happy with it and plays it everyday and loves me for getting it for him!

I dislike the bad worlds in the game, but my son wanted to know how was the game for his playstation 2 collection.

This game was a gift to my little brother for his early xmas gift he couslnt resist to play it so i told him to play it and now hes glued to the game i didnt really pay atteniton to it but its one of the best like grand theft auto i know there diffrent comapanies but there the best there is and thank you to the seller for making it possible to purchase a great game thank you everyone and have a great day and a merry xmas and new year and there not dislikes about the game i like it all 100% take care everyone and good night and great day.

I like the way it's all like GTA but I hate the shitty music the music is really gay the cars drive kind of gay too I think the new gta should have cars that play like gran turismo with engine upgrades and real new brutal killing styles like blowing their arms and legs off and stabing people in the face and maybe acid style killings like you could shoot people with an acid gun and the flame thrower should burn people worse and you should be able to cut peoples torsos off too.and flatten people with your car maybe you could blow up buildings too and go to other cities and destroy them too.and maybe rape attacks? who knows scar face had good chainsaw kills but i'd like to see some more killings like freestyle killings I like the drug dealings too thats a good idea and gang fights but gta gang fights were better the cops were too hard on scarface they should make any car too like escalades and impalas and gt500's

The gameplay is sweet feels like you are in the movie, the only down fall is how you do deals and get away from the cops,the graphics was could have been better.

the game is great its just a bit hard you got to yous the cheats if you want to even try to get anywere for me anyway i just dont like that you got to get so many reputation points to get to other missions but i love that you can use lots of cheats that are realllll helpfull i dont care what some ppl might say that they dont need the cheats if you want to tAke 6 months or more to even try to finish the game then dont use them if you want 1/2 a chance then i recomend them you can get them on a cheats site so easy and i bought the game cause i love the movie and love 1st person shotters so if you like 1st person shoters this game is awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee soulfix58

THE WORLD IS YOURS....ALL YOURS... this game is ammmaazzzinng....GTA look out...i would not say that it is way better than the infamous GTA but it is up there...The replay value great...the side missions even better...the cars guns women....violence...attitude...if you play for even an hour and dont feel like tony montana..then you should go back to solitare...

Alright so here it is, Tony Montana is still alive and you want to get revenge on Sosa and get the power. Thing is, you have to start from scratch, get cocaine, sell cocaine, share the loot, buy stuff, kill gangs. Sounds like Grand Theft Auto, doesn't it? Well in most aspects, it is, except you're Tony Montana, you can talk to every charater, and oh yeah, you have a balls meter. The game isn't bad, and it isn't extremely great. If you loved the Scarface movie, you'd like the game, if you decide to actually want to play the whole way through. But the cutscenes are good and the storyline is great. So, "Say hello to my little friend," and get those cockaroaches!

What i like about it is that you have a lot of freedom to do alot of fun things, its a bit better then, say... Grand theft auto: San Andreas. But the only thing wrong with it is that Tony Montana refuses to shoot civilians, im not saying it ould be fun to murder inocent people, but its a bit annoying that if your in a huge gunfight and a civilian walks by, you cant shoot because your not allowed to kill inocent people. But it really did capture Tony's personality well. Over all it's a wonderful game and REALLY fun!!

I love the fact that ps2 scarface cost me half the price of a new one, but even though used is in great condition. I love the biding war for the product, it's exciting, rewarding and disappointing. It's great to do business on a national or even global scale. I felt like a real business tycoon. Thank you E-Bay for the oppurtunity. E-Bay is set up to protect all parties to ensure transactions are fare,safe and rewarding. That to me is the best part of all.I decided to buy scareface ps2 because I had the game in PC, but it was to hard to play on a keyboard. This was my first time buying on E-Bay, I had know ideal it was so great. You can bet I'll be with E-Bay for a very long time.
